The Marches, GU21

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

The location is perfect! Outside your front door is access to all the shops, nightlife, restaurants you could wish for. The train station is a 2 minute walk away! The parking in Woking is the only annoying factor. There is zero free parking and, unless you buy an annual permit, it costs £15 a day!

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

Punctual, polite, and efficient. Communication is excellent, we are kept in the loop regarding all building maintenance works (bin chute, lift servicing, recycling, etc.)

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

Parking - it is a tricky one, and super expensive. Do you research. Other than that, absolutely everything is perfect and we are very happy here.

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

Good: The neighbourhood is vibrant and offers everything you could need. There are excellent transport links, a variety of local shops and restaurants, and some wonderful green spaces for relaxation or outdoor activities. The area is very safe, with a welcoming atmosphere and a strong sense of community. Bad: Occasionally, the area can become busy during peak times, which might require a little extra patience. Parking for visitors can also be a bit of a challenge, but this is a small inconvenience given the overall quality of life here.

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

Any issues I have raised have been dealt with promptly and effectively. For instance, when I encountered a minor issue with one of the communal facilities, it was resolved within the same day. This level of responsiveness and care demonstrates how committed the management team are to maintaining high standards and ensuring residents’ satisfaction.

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

I wish I had been aware of just how welcoming and friendly the community here is. The residents and staff alike contribute to an atmosphere that is warm and inclusive. Had I known this sooner, I would have been more proactive in joining the events and gatherings that make this building such a lovely place to live.

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

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

Reception is always helpful and willing to help. Service team works with a huge backlog so things progress a bit slowly at times.

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

How to safely dispose of glass and parking was not part of the rent was a bit of a let down

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

The location is the absolute dream for us, with all the needed amenities just below. The public transport connections are pretty good, especially to London (which is ideal for people without a car like ourselves). The lack of parking generally in Woking is a bit inconvenient for those with cars but doesn't apply to us so no complaints there.

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

Haven't had any major issues yet, but the dedicated resident's app makes it easy to get things fixed/replaced within only a couple of days of the request being made

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

How many events and initiatives they put on to get everyone together to meet each other. I barely met anyone in he last building I was in

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

Right in the center of Woking, great location with lots of shops restaurants etc nearby. Train station is a 3 min walk away. People are very nice. Private parking available in Victoria place parking at request.
