Well located development near to local amenities set in a village location, not a lot of passing traffic

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

All problems have been fixed in a quick efficient manner or they have sent a contractor to deal with it

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

Pretty much everything is the same as when sales sell it to you, best advice is to go and find the house you want to view on another site if there isn’t a show home of that model nearby

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

Small number of local shops, some good some bad; the chippy is great! Good transport links, local train station in walking distance is very handy. Traffic noise can be loud due to poor road surface on main road nearby.

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

How narrow our shared drive would be, it causes problems with turning cars around and visitor parking. Also that people would keep cutting through our hedge and using our drive as a shortcut.

I am really enjoying living in the village. There area is lovely and their is a good village atmosphere. Lots of nice walks along and around the canal. An ok selection of amenities for a village of this size. Train into Sheffield is a useful service.

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

Only issues have been dealing with Harron Homes and getting snagging items looked at. Major issues (doors not locking etc) were dealt with promptly, but everything else has been very very slow, not very well organised, and hard work! The internal communication between Site and Customer Services appear to be poor.

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

Make sure you keep detailed notes of dealings with everyone at Harron (pre and post completion). Their record keeping has not been good.

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

I wish I have house in thise areas beautiful areas

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

Very peaceful and quiet place. Just what we were after. Great new community as well! No traffic noise, and plenty of parking space by the roads which you don’t tend to get with new builds. But because it’s a quiet place, stores and facilities are a little far, only 5-10minute drive but not would take 40-50mins to walk.

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

They respond quickly for some things, and others things have taken a little time, which is understandable as they are still building newer homes

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

Nothing in particular. We had already known some people who lived in this property that told us to wait a bit to paint any rooms as the house naturally cracks as you live in it, which we have done.
