Gatehouse Apartments, SO14

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

The apartments are so close to the city centre, its one of the closest apartment blocks. Train station is a 15 minute walk and bus stops everywhere. Of course with city centre living comes some down sides - it can get a bit noisy especially on match days or friday/Saturday nights. Theft is an issue - our bike sheds have been broken into multiple times.

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

Yes but not always instantly. We've been esiting on a new freezer for6 months.

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

No break clauses are offered in the contract and th company do not seem open to negotiation! This makes it hard to move from the apartments on to the property ladder /move elsewhere because you're tied in for 12 months.
