5Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Even though the area is quite built up, the actual plot is very quiet and peaceful. There is a shop, park and a coffee shop within a 15 minute walk however if there was something a little closer it would be more convenient. Parking is limited, however transport links are very good.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Excellent customer service from both Megan and Robbie, both offered prompt responses to calls and emails and went above and beyond to answer my questions and help when I had some problems. For Megan and Robbie I would give them both 10/10 stars if I could.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
We are still expecting to move in, so cannot offer much advice yet

Just moved into my new home and couldn't be happier with the aftercare! Ellie-Mai has been absolutely amazing – incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions or issues I've had. It's reassuring to know there's someone so reliable on hand during the moving process. Thanks again for the great support, Ellie-Mai! Marc Butler was very helpful with the pre move process Lovely team Thank you
