Parklands by Bewley Homes, RG6

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

Pros: - beautifully situated next to sports & recreation fields & woods great location with good transport , shops & amenities links - well organized neigbourhood community Cons: - management company Cala subpar, not easy to get heard now that the development is finished and they left - pretty tightly built with smallish backyards (but that's to be expected with these new compact developments)

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

The initial after-sale service was excellent. Now that the initial two-year period is over, you are at the mercy of the guarantee company which is a whole different ball game.

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

It would have been good to have known how hard it gets to keep things up-to-date in the neighbourhood (public shared spaces). The management company we have is quite poor plus as Bewley owners we're still at the mercy of Cala to get the management company to do anything right. It's been a bit of a struggle for all of us living here. Of course, it could be worse, but it hasn't been a pleasant experience to deal with the management company. Other from that, it is all okay. Neighbours get along with each other very well and there's a good spirit of community with families helping each other out and being there for another.
