The buildings are beautiful, very aesthetically pleasing but there are many faults in the house with snagging

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is great for me, close to the city centre. There are great shops near by (walking distance). I like the space I have for parking and the the way that the plot is maintained. With beautiful plants and surrounding scenery. It feels safe and peaceful for me. I love the location.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
All have been responded to. However, no action was taken. Even though my portal says there was.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The lack of storage space. Also I thought that the back garden would be maintained too.

Hi Sanj, Thank you for leaving a review for your development. Your feedback on the sky windows is very useful - we will feed this in to the spec team. In regards to the carpet, we completely appreciate that it isn't very colourful, but we aim to keep it quite neutral so that artwork and colourful dressing can be added by our residents to make it their own and to suit everyone's tastes. We're delighted to hear that you're pleased with your kitchen, the garden maintenance and the privacy in your home.
