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

The shops and restaurants are great. There is lots to do and the transport links are good. The street does have some trouble on though.

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

I wish I knew how long the scaffolding would be up for.

What is the best feature of your home:

I love the quietness of the building and how I don't hear neighbourhood noise.

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

Currently surrounded by building sites, the parking has not been thought about and the builders park their cars on the pavement and leave rubbish everywhere. Lots of anti social behaviour and burglaries. The rent has gone in by huge amount in our time here which i know has led to other residents leaving, the value of the flats in this location is not equal to what we are paying.

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

Always very timely and helpful, either helping themselves or if not pointing in the right direction.

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

I wish I had known about the planned renovation in the area and all the road closures and disruption that have come with it.

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

- Close to the city centre with good transport links and access to hospitality - New developments that are being built locally cause issues with litter, parking and the builders have no care for the local area

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

- Liaised inter apartments when we have had water leaks

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

- That the railway was close by, and trains stop outside the apartment all day and night

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

The area is quiet and very close to the city centre - about 15 minute walk to Victoria. Regular car crime in the area and often see cars parked on street with windows smashed (Emmeline has secure parking so not an issue for residents in the building). There’s a lot of litter in the local area which is frustrating. It’s caused by construction workers who use surrounding roads for parking. Also the area is a flytipping hotspot.

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

Yes as mentioned above, had a few issues with leaks over the years which management always resolved quickly. Management always seem happy to help with anything as best they can.

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

Just issues in with litter and flytipping in local area - not the fault of building management in any way but still frustrating to live amongst.

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

There is currently a lot of building work going on so the access to dalton street is not as easy as it once was. However this work has got rid of an area where travellers lived which is great for the area. Parking at the apartment is great though

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

David sorts everything and raising issues quickly!

The gates can lock trapping you in the car park but for no longer than 10mins
