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

we don’t notice the noise from the A590 at all, bin collection and recycling is very good, 5 minutes walk into town for food or shopping is satisfactory and there are plenty of car parks.

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

Still ongoing been living here for 3 years, never answer the phone and when they do it’s not good enough as you don’t always get an answer just fobbed of!

I wish I had known about the grounds being left substandard and that it is not sound proofed which is appalling

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

Quiet location and close to tow centre Little noise from surrounding areas Well built negative - narrow roads & some ill thought out road layouts gutters seem undersized as everyone's leak but they wont acknowledge the issue

Pretty decent but quite underhand on a few issues - zone valves and guttering

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

that the roads would be so tight and that the deal with the common grounds and mansion would be a bit shady

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

The housing estate is in Daltongate an historic part of Ulverston. It is only a couple of minutes walk to the nearest shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Ulverston is a lively festival town with plenty to do and explore.

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

Snagging list. Plus, problem with guttering and downpipe from en suite.

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

Great community life for in Ulverston.

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

The area is perfect with mainly independent shops and lots of restaurants and pubs. The development has adequate parking, rubbish collections by the local authority, and the neighbours are very welcoming and the area is very safe.

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

The development is in the grounds of a manor house which although developed into apartments, none have yet sold (bad design, too high price is my opinion). This property is now being sold as a whole and everyone is concerned as to what it will turn into. That combined with the lack of knowledge on the public grounds - lawn or meadow, just adds to uncertainty.

What is the best feature of your home:

The location is the best feature, the design and style is ideal for us. We have a bedroom suite on the top floor which means we can remove ourselves from visitors if we need to.
