Visitor parking might get a bit tricky as there is limited spaces.

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

local pubs and coffee shops are great, friendly and well priced. Parking without a permit can be difficult. A lot of noise from the neighbouring blocks and high police presence. This is the only downside.

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

crisp cowley are professional and friendly, however sometimes slow to respond and need prompted once or twice to see to issues

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

noisy neighbours in block next door, however overall a well kept area with great local amenities

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

A fantastic location. Close enough to Cory centre but also very close to beautiful parks and landmarks. Coffee shops nearby. Very well maintained and thoughtful shared gardens and green areas, with little touches and nods to the heritage of the area. The area has a unique and aesthetically pleasing feel. Parking is too limited however. I get lots of unsolicited parking outside of my apartment and lots of work vans which creates noise throughout the day. I work from home so this can be an issue.

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

I have reported the front door slamming and they are always very responsive. They also helped with a query about obtaining a visitor parking permit.

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

The energy provider is non negotiable and charges significant standing charges. I have had consistent issues with heating. That cars will park outside my apartment, particularly work vans. That there is a drug problem in the area.

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

This is one of the reasons as to why I even chosen to live here. Everything is nearby whether it’s places or transportation and therefore makes it very convenient. For example; there is a coffee shop only 2 minutes away, two Sainsburys nearby, and the bus stop is only 5 minutes away as long as other restaurants like Bath Sushi. As I do not own a car parking was never really an issue but there isn’t traffic as it is a private space and there isn’t noise making it quite peaceful and comforting to live in.

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

They have responded quickly in terms of my emails (especially ones regarding maintenance). However, they could do a better job at updating you with information regarding your security deposit and etc…

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

The only thing I would have liked would be to have an in-person viewing but due to the circumstances of COVID-19 I was unable to. Therefore, it wasn’t really an issue that the management caused.
