Leaf Living, Nationwide

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

Location is great, we're close to towns. Plenty of parking, we have a great view. Only downside is people struggle to figure out how to get our street as the map isn't updated correctly yet.

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

Yes, they've responded very quickly to any requests we've had

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

There's less kitchen storage than we initially thought on our initial viewing

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

Very impressed. It seems a quiet location and accessibility is perfect just off the A27, Chichester one way and Worthing and Brighton the other way. Any comment on bin collection as haven’t had one yet.

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

Nothing yet as we only moved in today, so a bit of an unfair question

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

First viewing, the person showing us around couldn’t get into the property. I had taken a 1/2 days holiday and we could only view it through the windows. Not a good start

Whitely for me and my partner is perfect and is right next to where we work. There is a big shopping centre right next to here so has everything we need. Parking is okay with only 1 allocated spot which was originally promoted as 2. There has been some communication errors at times with it being difficult to get hold of someone who knows how to answer certain questions at times. For example, I was told on one phone call that before we moved in, we needed to order bins for the flat. Upon arrival, Beth had told us we didn’t need bins so now need to sort a refund for them. The flat is tucked away tho and in a lovely quiet street.

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

Any issues I’ve raised have been dealt with quickly and effectively.

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

I wish that the flat could have been added to Google maps quicker as was hard to get deliverers sorted leading up to moving in.

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

It’s a lovely, quiet area with really friendly neighbours. There’s a local shop, coffee shops and a pub all within walking distance, and you can easily walk a little further into Crowthorne for more choice. Buckler’s Forest is right on the doorstep, which is lovely for walks. Transport links are great and parking has never been an issue, with allocated spaces and additional visitor parking. We are really enjoying living here!

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

We haven’t had any issues to report, but there is an app where you can easily log any problems if needed, which is reassuring!

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

Nothing really! Everything was explained clearly beforehand and the whole process was really straightforward.

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

Development is great. Leaf living are not. Great area, good connections and transport. Great place to live.

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

Slow! Poor app process and very frustrating. 2 years on and still having to use wife account to log in!

Putting prices up each year, “in line with Zoopla” then upon vacating marketing the house at the rate it was when we moved in. Disgusting. Stay clear of LEAFY LIVING
