Cotton Field Wharf, M4

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

The area is super convenient close to transport links, city centre, shops etc. The pricing is still relatively good as we moved in before all the prices went up & we do have to pay extra for parking. 2 bin shoots every floor, concierge 24/7 that take prices for you if your not in. 2 lifts in each block. We are in block C (right hand side great views) a 1 bed super spacious and we added a pantry in the spare cupboard for extra storage. Maintenance team if there is anything wrong with the appliances. Pet friendly.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Quickly and well. Maintenance usually arrive within the next day or 2.

Parking is tricky and you will soon need a permit for any street parking unless you pay for parking in the gated car park.

Great local area lots of restaurants & bars. Street parking is a problem - lack of - and also very little green space - myself and many neighbours would sign the petition to convert the old retail park into a green space.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Maintenance wise they are quite helpful and fairly quick.

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

That prices would go up regardless of your contract and that the property mgmt company has no regard for how this might impact tenants during cost of living crisis - they continue to put up the rents even though everything else is already increasing.

great area to live with a short walk into the city centre. a few restaurants and bars open in the area. there are often young kids & opportunistic thieves which come into the car park and take phones off people walking in the area.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

They have responded to the issues by advising that they proactively work on them but we have yet to see ANY evidence of the actions they have supposedly taken, yet they increase the costs despite not offering a proper service such as a working parking gate.

Which I had seen all areas of the building prior to moving in, such as the refuse area and green space as this is often in a state. (due to misuse of other residents/pets within the building)

The area is just getting better and better, there’s more people around but it just gives off such a good vibe. Having the cafes and bars downstairs is just amazing too.

Really well, you put it on the app and they come and fix it within 24 hours.

Nothing really, it can get a little loud on a weekend but it is in the city centre and worth it
