The Croft, BS16

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

Good - great area, lots around such as shops and restaurants. Also a good few play parks for the kids.

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

How long it would take to complete the road leading to the house.

What is the best feature of your home:

Open plan living area. The garden is a nice size for a new build.

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

Really good accessibility to shops, travel, would like more leisure activities for example a gym/swimming pool as only local is David Lloyd which is very expensive. Street is quiet during evenings/weekends but is quite busy during the day with builders/workmen (who also treat it like a building site a lot of the time and not where people live, for example reckless driving and parking).

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

A timeline of the ongoing work so we knew how long to expect builders/noise in the area

What is the best feature of your home:

Look of the outside of the home is my favourite part and also the layout

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

Good location, traffic is very bad however, good access to local amenities. Bins collected regularly but parking is horrendous.

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

How poor Persimmon Homes are, as you are paying a lot for a new home you expect at least "good" service. The high turnover of site staff also speaks volumes!

What is the best feature of your home:

The size of the house and the location in which it is positioned on the street (in a quiet cul de sac).

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

Nice area not a great deal of restaurants but good shopping especially for the necessities, parking can be a bit of a problem with over crowded streets, always anti social behaviour in developments but I've not noticed anything worse than anywhere else a bit of a recent issue with thefts but again now housing development so prime target I suspect

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

Compacted earth on the garden is a bit of a pain wouldn't have laid grass before having it sorted waste of money

What is the best feature of your home:

Build quality is excellent and the layout of the property is really good
