Pulford Place, LE7

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

The good parts are easy access to public transport to city centre. Plenty of schools, shops and parks around the area for children and the view of the ‘countryside’ is to die for! The location is perfect and there is plenty of fields and nature trails around the area too.

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

A little slow to have the repairs booked in but once the where contractors where here and it was fixed within a week

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

How beautiful the area around us, also how far the local shop is (to walk) around 0.8 miles

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

Great location. Nice country roads nearby and quickly to get on to a major A road, A47. Not too far from the Leicester City and close to country side. Peaceful outdoors, great for going for walks, when fully completed (not sure when) should have good tarmac roads to walk on right now it’s difficult to walk on the footpaths. Not any restaurants around the area however there are some pubs. Bus services into the city centre is 7 times out of 10 available and drivers are friendly. Public roads in our site are quite narrow, sometimes cars blocks the entire road so have to be careful. All bin collection is good and on time every week, we like the green waste and recyclable waste collection as the centre is quite far. Not a lot of traffic noise but noise from the construction vehicle is there. The private road in-front of our house is quite narrow and a bit scary seeing some vehicles drive past so close to the house. The block paving they fitted in-front of our house looks very different to the rest of the road. There are no signs such as “Private road, no trespasser allowed” as sometimes we get random walkers. The private road is very dark at night. No street name signs. There is a Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) right outside our property which we do not like as a lot of grass and weed grows into it, spreads a lot of pollen, it’s very deep and long and not safe for children, not a pleasing rather dirty view when you look outside our front bedrooms window especially during winter and rainy season.

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

Yes most of the problems were answered or dealt with apart from some which I have to raise again for their attention through the customer service.

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

Celling in all of bedrooms is angled and made it hard to put a wardrobe into our choice of place. Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in-front of our house is not very good. The garden requires a lot of maintenance.

The area is quiet and nice to live in. At present building work is on going and when it’s finished it’ll be quiet n very nice area

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

Yes very efficiently. Mr Darren the site foreman was very helpful when we were Moving into the house and he sorted any snags for us via the team from head office. Also the young lady at head office has been very helpful with any issues. (Such as water leaking off the shower door etc )

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

I didn’t realise this are was not under Leicester city council as This council has “”removed the Permitted development “” rights which is a problem. Cannot build anything without planning permission!!!!

I'm very pleased with these new houses, they absolutely look amazing. It is easy to reach the public transport.

Good local links to Leicester and good schools. Bin collection is good. No traffic noise.

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

Not always. Struggled with neatness/cleanliness of the finished build

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

The house when I moved in was not as clean as I expected. Grout and paint work very sloppy especially in the bathrooms and skirting boards near the laminate floor I paid extra for. General finish is poor.
