Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Are you kidding me? The management of this property is abysmal. You may as well talk to a brick wall. She is not interested in the goings on of the development. Only money.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
No foul language (!). What else can I say about them?
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That I looked into the company (Encore). They are a joke!!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Excellent location and access to city amenities Anne local shops. Bristol is an amazing place to live with all the wonderful entertainment, superb restaurants, bars, museums and theatres. Transport links are extremely good with good bus services and a short walk to the mainline station. Parking on street is a problem with a number of reported incidents around the area but this unfortunately is consistently with expectations of an inner city area. There have been incidents of antisocial behaviour that are slowly being controlled and police have acted quickly and efficiently.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The property management company has responded either slowly or by referring major issues to the RMC that is controlled by the developer. RMC issues seem not to be funded in a timely manner. There is no continued update on the progress of issues or expected resolution times.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That the articles of association of the RMC mean that we will never have complete control of the management company and control our own property management. That C&C would remain in control of the building until legislation changes.

You can’t beat the location, beautiful views onto the harbour, great bars and restaurants close by, relatively quiet given there is a popular pub next door. Parking isn’t amazing but there is parking included.

The concierge are brilliant, quick to deal with any issues and super friendly and helpful
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The flat gets extremely hot in the summer due to the big windows!!
