Excellent community feel

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

Yes and they came out straight away. I had a massive water leak because the outside drain was blacked by rubble

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

There is a really good community here. Excellent walks across the fields.

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

There is good access to local amenities and a train station within walking distance from the development. Parking is generally good with all properties having a driveway enough for two cars but parking is poor for visitors, often having to park on the road making it difficult to get/off your driveway. Council services such as bin collections are frequent and do not seem to struggle to find properties. Public transport links such a buses are non-existent but I think this is a wider issue within the local area. There is plenty of open space and public footpaths around the immediate area which can be enjoyed. It’s nice to see the community within the development coming together with a friendly atmosphere most of the time. The ongoing building works can be a little disruptive with contractors leaving waste materials about and then finding them in your front garden where they’ve blown in the wind. Overall it is a nice development in a good location with direct links to major commuting routes.

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

We’ve raised several snags since moving in and Bovis have responded well to them but we have often had to go back to the developer as the contractors have done a poor job and haven’t actually resolved the snags. We had an ongoing issue with the ceiling in the kitchen and whenever someone comes to look in to it, it never seems to get resolved and a half finished job is done.

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

I wish we got to see the quality of the garden prior to moving in as it has been poorly turfed and finished, this is disappointing. Other than that our property is very nice with rooms feeling spacious and light.
