Great food and bars, great location. Citu not the best.

Took a long time to fix problems that should have been fixed before hanging over the property.

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

Excellent variety of bars and restaurants. Good accessibility to the city centre and motorway for transport. Relatively little traffic noise. Difficult to get parking.

Varied response. Some issues were resolved quickly and some are still ongoing 3 years later

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

Poor on street parking, would highly recommend purchasing a property with a parking space

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

Great location - within walking distance to a range of bars and pubs, a large supermarket as well as smaller convenience stores. There is also a good open green space within 10 minutes walk. Lovely community and vibrant atmosphere. The area is also within walking distance to the city centre, but without the noise you'd expect from an urban area. Downsides would be that the parking spaces are limited and very costly, with the only other option being on-street parking outside the development which can be hard to find. We have also seen and experienced for ourselves bikes being stollen from the bike racks situated at the bottom of residential blocks.

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

It's been extremely difficult to get hold of the building management team, leading to an incredibly frustrating experience. Issues raised months ago regarding design faults or issues are still waiting to be resolved.

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

Make sure all the snagging is done before you move in - we waited until after we'd moved (in November 2020) and are still waiting for the issues to be resolved!!

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

The area is one of the best in Sheffield and this development is the only one that has houses with gardens. There are more pubs, bars and restaurants than you'll ever need. I love living here

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

Poorly, they threatened us with legal action when we were trying to get to the bottom of how we got the keys while the house wasn't up to fire code.

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

I would recommend using a snaggin surveyor once you get the keys.
