Little disappointments

Isabel (Shared Owner)

I reported a few issues in December/January and I am still waiting to get them sorted. When somebody come to check the issue, you never know when it will be repaired. The kitchen stove had some protectors missing, one of the ladies in aftercare kindly sent them to us. The sink, bad installation. A part of a leak, the draining metal side keeps building up a puddle. Both sinks plugs are missing. I made you aware but no response has been received. It looks like the flat was completed in a rush. The shower glass screen is grated, the front door seems to have in a watery place due to the all the marks on it.

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

The location is good. Having Morrisons and their so close helps. The Sarsen Stones is a lovely pub, a bit expensive but nice. Parking is a bit an issue when we have visitors. The storage where the bins are is always packed and bins full in a couple of days. We need more bins, and having available one of the other storages having waste separately would help with the accessibility to them. The neighbourhood is ok. We recently had the police and ambulance at 3pm, due to family fight. Some people don't understand that speaking under your balcony at 1 or 2 in the morning is very annoying when you try to sleep and you wake up at 5. It is annoying to see that some people have small swimming pools in the balcony, and they empty them just letting the water fall all the way down passing through the rest of balconies. The trains noise is too much. I know that we have good windows, but I think that they could have been better noise isolating. The freight trains at night are too noisy.

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

How bad the noise from trains is, the lack of sense of living in community of the rest of the neighbors. -My flat is 16 but it does not show below in the drop down menu., it is hard to get any kind of deliveries for this reason -

What is the best feature of your home:

The size of the rooms and the storage in the corridor.

The building is very good, facilities are all what you would want. We’ve had a few problems which are being sorted and fixed and all the work men are very friendly and helpful with any questions we have. The management and customer service has been really good.

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

There’s lots to do in and around the area, which is all easily accessible. Parking is good as you get 2 spaces each and there’s visitor spaces for guests. It’s a very quiet area.

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

Nothing really, I love it for my first home and it’s big enough for my family and more than what I thought I would get.

What is the best feature of your home:

The kitchen, as it comes with all the appliances you need so you don’t need to worry about getting that as a first time buyer.

2 playgrounds, one of them just 2 benches inside, not a single swing or anything. The other just few wooden structures that are not even fit for climbing. Other than the disappointing playgrounds, it's a nice location. We cant see much done related to the service charge.

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

Close to local schools, restaurants, shops. Happy with the location. Has a nice park nearby, which we use regularly.

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

Moat issues were fixed on time, so far. Received a voucher for late fix, which was nice.

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

What is the best feature of your home:

The design is good. Could of used bigger living room.

Overall we are happy about the property- good design, close to shop and petrol station (Morrisons) and GP surgery (Voyager Family Health). We bought our house on private sale and secured it at a reasonable price. The sale process was not too long and even though there was a lot of chasing up needed, it was fine in the end.

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

Nice and quiet area, located on the outer areas of Farnborough. Farnborough station is about 10 mins drive away and you can get to London from there in less than 40 mins.

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

The response to issues raised to the aftercare team is slow and is needing a lot of following-up.

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

Some of the roads in the estate are a bit narrow and the estate could do with better lighting.

What is the best feature of your home:

The neighbourhood is lovely-mostly families and working age couples.
