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

Lots of good local shops and restaurants, close to lots of public transport links. The estate itself is lovely.

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

Yes they have but it’s been an uphill battle to get anything fixed and it’s also been a drawn out with multiple visits to fix basic issues.

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

I would 10000% recommend getting a snagger in to check the house over. Luckily we had very few issues but if they were not picked up it could of caused bigger issues long term.

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

Excellent accessibility for Liverpool, Chester and Manchester via road or train. Close to the retail park and the very quiet in the evening

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

The developer fixed the ‘quick fixes’ shortly after moving in, however the snags that were most obvious and required someone other than a handyman took up to 12 months

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

I wish we’d have known that our house, and the whole estate, was on the Liverpool John Lennon flight path. With the windows being very basic a lot of sound from overhead planes can be heard.

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

It has an excellent location. There are 2 train stations nearby (10-15mins walk away), yet not too close, so pets are safe and we cannot hear the trains either. Easy to get on the motorway and get anywhere. There are 2 airports nearby, Liverpool and Manchester and they’re both about 45mins away. There’s a huge retail park with plenty of shopping opportunities and lots of smaller shops too on the high street. So far we haven’t come across anything negative around here. There’s also a brand new, state of the art gym around the corner, which is amazing. People are mostly friendly. The seaside is close by (within 20-30mins), North Wales is also quick and easy access. Liverpool and Chester within 30mins, whilst you can get to Manchester City centre in an hour too. It’s brilliant really.

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

They are working on it. Slowly, but surely we’re getting everything fixed (I hope).

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

The development is on a flight path, so you often hear or see incoming/outgoing flights to Liverpool airport. There are busier days and more quiet ones. But when the holiday season kicked in, it surprised me how many noisy jet engines were passing by fairly low, just over our house. When we were viewing the site it was during lockdown and there were no planes.
