Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Absolutely no good points to this site now. There's more social housing than privately owned homes now (not initially planned that way when we bought our home, very misleading). The site management is a joke, couldn't organise snags to be completed or even bother to show up on days they said they would. Every property seems to flood with the slightest bit of rain and Northstone don't want to hear about it. Almost 2 years living here and Northstone still haven't tarmacked the roads fully, they seem to dig everything back up a month later as things don't work again. The drains are still full of site rubbish and weeds, the list is endless of negative points. I which there was something nice to say as we live here but at the moment there's really nothing nice about this site.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How awful Northstone are at building houses and how much they lied to all their customers at the beginning as to how much of the site would be social housing (more social housing than privately owned now).
What is the best feature of your home:
The main road out off the estate!!! honestly we cant state what it is because there's nothing we like about our home now.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Close to Pemberton railway station, just a short walk away. Bus stops are a bit further away than other neighbour hoods. No open green space yet but this is likely to be swamped with unruly children.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That half the estate would be sold to Torus, a housing association. Not just affordable rent but mainly social housing, in plots that were initially advertised to us as private owners. If we had known this we would not have bought.
What is the best feature of your home:
Big windows and open plan. Space is maximised in the smaller homes which give better value for money than other developers.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I have lived her for a little over 1 year and up until a few months ago loved my house street and neighbours .there's was a small proportion of the estate planned to be allocated to torus a social landlord . A few months ago I noticed the sign at entrance of the devolment had been changed to one of torus along with wigan council affordable rents and shared ownership . It has become apparent that over half the estate has now been tranfared to torus with at least 50 affordable rents . I'm in no way discriminating anyone but knowing this information at purchas I would have pulled out of the sale . This is because I am pretty sure this will affect the salability and the value of my property after constant emails to northhstone I still have no confirmation that the rest of the estate will be private sales thus must likely will affect values further .
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That it was about to be turned into a social housing estate
What is the best feature of your home:
Being in a more private corner although people use my drive as a cuthrough disregarding the shrubbery and hedging

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Lots of local shops and supermarkets nearby, primrose farm opposite which is great and a nice quiet pub/food venue. Transport is good, train station nearby and you can quickly get into the town centre. Two retail parks very close and gyms nearby. Bin collection is fine, have a designated bin collection point, due to being an end property the bins have to be in front of our house which isn’t ideal but not the end of the world. Traffic noise is fine, triple glazed windows but can still slightly hear cars go past, boy racers seem to like nice quiet road outside with their annoying loud cars. Parking is a bit of a negative, only have 2 spaces and no space for visitors outside house. Also difficult to reverse out of drive due to being in a nook and an end property, have to reverse into next doors drive or reverse all the way backwards out of the nook
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Not at the fault of the developer but as we bought after the house had been built there wasn’t many customisation options. However looking at other builds it looks like there are many available if you buy at the beginning of the journey.
What is the best feature of your home:
We really really the high ceilings and spacious rooms. We also love the lootility and bathroom with a shower and bath fitted.
