Allsop Single Family Housing, Henley Gate

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

We’re a short walk from local shops with takeaway and grocery shopping options. There a range of bus routes, one of which that stops at the top of the development to get to the town centre for work or where you can visit restaurants, shops, cafes and local points of interest such as Christchurch mansion and park, the waterfront and The Hold (records office).

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

Very quickly and a resolution has been very prompt, professional and good quality.

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

The homes and area are genuinely beautiful, comfortable and it’s a very positive space. The only extremely minor negative is that as building work is still going on there’s a lot of dust which makes keeping the car clean tricky but honestly, that is the only inconvenience. We work from home and I never notice the sound of building work and of course it won’t be forever, so we can live with the dust!

Living in Henley Gate has been awesome. Settling in with my husband and our little boy just fine, my son is in love with riding his bicycle around the environment while we take a walk as it’s completely safe from road. We are happy about our lovely neighbours te been all smiles since we moved it. Big shout out to Georgie and India for constantly being available to rescue whenever we need help. It’s been amazing being in contact with them since moving in.

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

They have been great since move in. Great response to email and providing solutions.

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

Wish I knew about the development earlier. It’s been great.

We are delighted to be part of this amazing community the only issue we have is sometimes the parking spaces have gone before we get home it’s very quiet

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

We couldn’t lock the back doors and as soon as I contacted out of hours it was temporarily fixed the same night

Wish I would have enquired before to move here it’s lovely

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

Great distance from town centre, not too near to any busy areas but good connections, being near both Ipswich and Westerfield station. Also close to smaller convenience shops and bigger supermarkets! Parking availability for ourselves as residents is good but also lots of space for visitors which is great. Barely any traffic noise also.

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

We have had a few issues regarding heating and wifi however our property manager has been proactive in getting maintenance workers to attend to these problems.

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

We didn’t have much information/instruction or general communication regarding moving in prior to our move in date so this could have been helpful, It is reassuring to know now that our property manager is on hand for any issues but we could have been put in direct contact with her slightly earlier in the process to answer any questions etc!

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

The only negative I can think of is that there is still a lot of building work going on, but it isn’t even loud.

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

We haven’t had many issues, but if we have needed anything our property manager has sorted it immediately.

We did have a couple of viewings prior to moving, so wasn’t really much
