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

The local area - there were hidden gems all over I wish I’d discovered earlier. The local businesses were amazing and there’s a lot of activities/festivals in the city centre.

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

Right in the town centre - good transport links with the station being under 10 mins away. Sometimes can hear the local pubs going off on Fri/Sat/during main football games but not too disruptive.

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

Yes, they replied very quickly and would get it sorted. The marks on the wall when I left did cost me £50 so the place is a little expensive but worth it.

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

How expensive the maintenance of the apartment would be - with council tax, gas is also extremely expensive so would suggest checking different providers.

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

The gate sometimes is not locked and left opened. Management is ok but they charge you a fortune in rubbish fee and repainting when you move out.

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

Slow response and sometimes not properly managed here.

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

Huge moving out fee and it may cost you more when you move out.

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

Good range of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Close to the station - literally everything I need is local. I never have to get the bus or anything. No local noise just police sirens from the top of the main road every so often. Only bad thing is that shops close early so if you’re a professional who doesn’t wfm I imagine it would be difficult to do life admin tasks such as groceries etc. As a Londoner who moved to Bolton alone it’s definitely an adjustment in terms of closing times and how quiet it is.

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

Yes had some leaking tap issues when I first moved and they came out next day to fix it. I’ll email in about something and they’ll send the building handyman to drop by and see if everything is okay

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

Information on who is the providers for electrics etc before I moved in so I can do my own research
