Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Excellent range of shops and pubs close by! In a location near lakes and woodland areas for nice walks! Kids are a bit Ferrell trying to damage the area but we try to stop them! Pebbles end up on the park 90% of the time so I can’t let my son on there.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes they’ve been perfect, any problem reported they have been quick and efficient in sorting it out. Would have liked to have the landlords help a little more toward a safer garden rather than us having to save to get it done so it’s safe for our child to play in
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The size of the “box” room, the layout of the garden clearly, it’s big enough just not level enough.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area does have a small supermarket and several shops on the main drag through the village. Its does have a good bus link to Doncaster and Rotherham with a mainline train station about 15 minutes away. You can be in the capital within 1 hour 40 minutes and Edinburgh in 3 hours. Being situated in the middle of a good road network with the A1 to the right and the M1/M62 to the left of you. A major shopping retail outlet Meadowhall at Sheffield within 20 minutes drive away and for those of you who love Ikea right opposite Meadowhall. I probably wouldn't go out in Edlington as its full of working mens clubs and the bottom of the village can be scary at night with anti social behaviour. For me I would go to York or Doncaster. Very little anti social behaviour apart for the odd kids who come into the development from the village. Plenty of parking with your own drive. I would say the development is a multi culture. Very quiet neighbourhood.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
There quick to respond through issues in a timely manner.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I would have like another tennant to act as a minder just to help me with the little things I didnt know. Like local ammnieties, bin days etc

Thank you for your feedback on the grounds maintenance - this will be fed back in to the team to check up on for you. In regards to the app - everything pulling through should be the most recent documents.

The only bad thing I have is iv not got access to my back garden only through the house and my bins have to stay under my kitchen window at the front also we were the first tenants in the house and the rear garden was dead and not looked after so I had to dig it all up and returf it myself.

Hi Bilal, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re disappointed to hear that you feel the appliances are not of good quality. We tend to include well-known trusted brands such as Electrolux, Whirlpool and Indesit. We’ve believe we have been able to identify you based on the information provided and our Head of BTR has investigated the timeline to get your carpet sorted. We can see that there has been a delay and a breakdown in communication our end, which we can only apologise for –these are not the standards we pride ourselves on. We can see that the Asset Manager has been chasing the works with the contractor, but they have failed to be updating you, which is our expectation. The works have been reviewed and will be sorted for you very shortly.
