Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The quality of the kitchen cabinets is poor at best, when I first got the property they didn't even clean it before I got the keys, windows and floors were filthy. Balcony door wouldn't lock, front door wouldn't lock , scratches on the balcony door.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The worst experience, awful estate management, any issue they can't deal with or know the answer to and they palm it off back on to yourself.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That the two companies Fairview and Ian Gibbs are poor.

Initially yes but slower as time has gone on. Depends on the issue.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
This area is good with all the facilities. No much traffic noise though its close to road. This area is good with other activities as tennis court behind and Leisure/fitness centre within a walkable distance. As we living in flat in an apartment, Sometimes we need additional parking for few hours when friends/family visit us. It would be good if the whole development has 3-4 guest parking which can be used occasionally.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Response is good as of now. Management is taking care of the issues when reported.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One thing is parking space allocation. We know that we have parking space, but we got to know it not close to the apartment where we need to walk. We expect this to be informed before or at least we have given a chance to change it close to apartment.
