Pretty little house, energy efficient, in a lovely, quiet area with good amenities.

Design is practical, the homes are very warm in winter with lots of light. Energy efficient (with solar panels on most houses). Could do with more storage space but that is a problem that most new builds have. Useful shed in garden. The garden is secure (important for pet-friendly housing!) and in our case very large. Quality of building is a little disappointing (for example there is little internal sound-proofing) but any problems/faults are addressed fairly promptly by maintenance. Property management company is good (Joe is great) and overall we are very happy with our choice to move here! I would recommend it.

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

A lovely place to live, very peaceful (apart from some construction which is kept as discreet as possible), lots of green spaces. Easy access to the M1 & A5, and a short drive to the train station, making travelling easy. There is a lovely cafe at walking distance and a small but well stocked Co-op. Great place for families as there are several play areas. Good feeling of community, nice and helpful neighbours.

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

Overall very responsive, and they try to help with any issues with the landlord. They also quickly refer issues to maintenance when necessary.

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

Homes are pet-friendly but there is a maximum number of pets allowed depending on their size. We had to pay extra for our second dog (upon payment of deposit/first rent) then by the time we moved we had lost one of them and had to keep paying the extra amount for the whole year. For anyone moving to a newer part of the development, do look at the surrounding area and how much construction is taking place near the home.
