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

Just moved to Bath from Bristol and absolutely love it here! There's so much character in the city and the building development is exactly what I needed.

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

Team have been super helpful giving recommendations for places to go in Bath! Great help with getting bills set up too!

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

The apartments are surprisingly quiet, you wouldn't think you are on the main road

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

The ONLY bad thing about the area is it’s right next to a nightclub so very noisy! I love that it’s next to the train station and there’s a Tesco right opposite.

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

At first very slow but now all good. Huge shoutout to vilius as he always get the job done super fast.

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

That the furniture breaks a lot and the room we have is opposite the office so they can see you get dressed

Great for short term living

Tanayia Boakye-Yiadom (Tenant)

The Gorge, EX1

Oct 2024

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

The location is perfect, you are a short walk into town where there are plenty of shops and restaurants. It is ideal if you work at Heavitree or Wonford Hospital as you are only a stones through away. There is no parking and quite a lot of street noise which we didn't mind.

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

Yes, the residents team were quick to address any issues raised.

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

There is no parking which isn't ideal. It took months for the Council to sort out the banding, which resulted in us having a large council tax back dated bill. (This isn't the Gorge's fault) There is a lack of washing machines for the number of residents who live at the Gorge, often I would be unable to do my washing as all four were occupied, I think that the Gym and Cinema room are too small for the amount of residents. I would also say be aware that there is A LOT of maintenance issues happening all the time, I have numerous emails from the residents team making residents aware that there is more on going work happening around the building.

management and the front office and maintenance

Forough (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Box Makers Yard, BS2

Oct 2024

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

The front office, Vilius and his colleague, and maintenance gentlemen were accommodating, polite, and professional.

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

The management did not provide additional keys to my family members. The maintenance people were professional, polite, and nice.

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

That there is very nonsense policy to provide access to my family members.
