Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Excellent local shops, doctors and medical facilities - and a beautiful park close by. NHG management is often slow to react to issues. We faced £75,000 bill to replace the entry system which in Barrett Court - until the resident association chased things, and "switch was flicked" and it was restored. It takes years for relevant receipts for past paid invoices to be supplied - why? Property management officers change with alarming frequency. Surging heating and service charge cause anxiety among many residents.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Look after your MVHR unit - many were installed in a way making them unserviceable, they were old when installed and can cost thousands to replace. Get to know the residents' association - your only push back when charges surge to become unaffordable, as they are right now. Keep all letters from NHG.

The flat I lease in Hodgkin Court seems to have been built to a solid standard, and I enjoy living here overall.
