Millard Place at Arborfield Green, RG2

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

Bus stop right outside property, 10 min driver to nearest supermarket and to Wokingham high street, parking is allocated bays but constantly find vehicles parked in your bay, regularly loud shouting in the evenings as kids ride up and down the road on bikes, bin collections every Thursday which can’t be faulted. A good way to sum up the development is that it is effectively on a building site.

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

They have been very obstructive since I have lived here, they constantly make things difficult and do not assist unless chased.

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

I would rather have known about the general liveability of the flat, or lack of it.

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

Everything is good except for basic facilities like grocery shop. The closest one is 20 min walk and that to through very dark, woody area

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

Every problem was taken care by the management in timely manner

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

I don’t think I didn’t know anything before I moved in the area It’s pretty much what was told

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

We have a lot of convenience here because of which we are happy to live in this place like the easy access to bus stop just near us and a very silent neighbourhood that we appreciate here.

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

The service provider had approached us on the same day our query was raised and all our questions were solved instantly.

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

Should have paid close attention to the electricity savers before using any electric gadget on order to save the cost.

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

The local area is very lovely in Arborfield, and it is relatively close to Reading, so good for shopping, trains, transport, etc. It is also slightly outside the town, so there is a lot of greenery and countryside which is really lovely. The only place in walking distance is Jackson's at California Country Lake and the Co-Op which is a bit disappointing as it would be good to have some other places within walking distance, eg pubs, etc. The open spaces are lovely. There is a bus stop right outside the development which goes to Reading station which is also very convenient.

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

I haven't raised any issues or problems. When asking for meter readings, etc. the responses are always prompt, polite, etc. and the property management team are nice to deal with.

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

The noise of those around. As the properties, in my view, are built to a slightly lower standard than those for sale, as they are to rent, the soundproofing between floors/ceilings I don't believe is to the highest quality and as a result I can hear a lot of my upstairs neighbours which I didn't think I would when I moved.

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

Certainly! The good aspects of my local area include a strong sense of community, access to diverse cultural events, and proximity to parks and recreational areas. However, traffic congestion can be a downside, and the cost of living is relatively high. Overall, it's a balance of positives and negatives.

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

N/A. No issues have been raised and I have no complaints

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

What the local shops were and how far. But otherwise it’s great
