Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Repeated attendances from emergency services. Police and fire crews due to disputes with other tennents in their flats neighbouring ours. Late night early morning it feels like weekly one of them will attend for a domestic incident or arson. To the point had I known just how often this would happen I certainly would not have moved there. I’m not comfortable leaving my daughter at 17 at home alone at night when I work nights now.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I initially had a leak they responded within 24hrs.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The constant domestic incidents with neighbours a few doors down and next door is draining when I work 13hr shifts I need my sleep and when police are attending it’s not quiet.
Manager's response3Thank you for sharing this - we're sorry to hear how unsettling these incidents have been for you. We'd encourage reporting these incidents to the police directly if you haven't already, and we'll flag this internally too so we're aware and can support where we can. We're glad the leak was sorted quickly, and pleased the development itself still comes across well.

The house is a good layout. Easy access to public transport and local schools. Kids in our development all get on well together

Quick response on all repairs that I have had over the last year

Make sure all the paperwork is gone through when collecting the keys to the property
Manager's response5Thanks so much for the lovely review, Sam H! A full year in and still hearing that the maintenance team and area manager have been so helpful is exactly what we love to hear. Glad the house layout, transport links, and schools are all working out well too. Thanks again for a great year, and for making this your home!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Great central location with easy access to local amenities, with the beach and a park just short walks away. Another plus is the easy access to the M6 via the Bay Gateway.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Quick response rate and work has always been followed up to check on the resolution.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Really minor, we had to ask what the bin collection cycle was and how frequently this was done as this information wasn’t provided in our welcome pack.
Manager's response5Thanks so much for the great review, Dan! Really pleased the spacious layout is giving you the room to grow as a family, and that the maintenance team have been quick to sort the couple of minor issues you've had. Great to hear the new property manager has made himself easily reachable and thanks for the note on the bin collection info, we'll make sure that's clearer in future welcome packs.

In my personal opinion any issues I have had have been dealt with . Always friendly and polite

Good location to shops and our beautiful prom. Petrol station close by. Can be noisy and a bit rough
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
H&S issues and not taken seriously. They do not clean the carpark from dog fouling. We also have no lights working one end of the carpark which is so dangerous. With bad weather on its way there is no apparent concern to avoid slips, trips and falls and injury. No urgency on repairs. Always seems to be an issue when spending money in Morecambe when comes to repairs even though they increase your rent to the maximum they can. Don’t follow their own processes in place. Glossy website but don’t seem to follow through on what they advertise
