Vantage Tower, SO19

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

This part i cannot fault, there's plenty of things to do in the local areas and if you dont intend to drive you're in a good place. Otherwise traffic is awful.

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

While I can understand that some issues, like traffic and external factors, may be somewhat out of the building manager's control, certain aspects definitely need improvement for the future. The consistent lift problems, overflowing rubbish, and lack of proper ventilation are things that could be better managed. Although the building manager has been responsive, the lack of real solutions is disappointing. The two-month penalty with no break clause is especially frustrating, and while it might be part of the contract, there should be more flexibility and consideration for valid reasons when tenants need to move. Addressing these concerns would go a long way in improving the overall living experience at Vantage Tower.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is the strict two-month penalty with no break clause, which is heavily enforced even when facing valid reasons for wanting to move. This lack of flexibility has been the biggest frustration. I also wish I had known about the constant issues with the lifts, the overflowing rubbish system, and the poor ventilation in the apartments, which makes living conditions uncomfortable during hot weather. These factors significantly affect the quality of life, and knowing this beforehand would have influenced my decision.

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

Poor location, not much entertainment around. The good thing is that it's near the ocean, and there's a nearby bus station as well. Annoying & dangerous teenagers wondering around sometimes.

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

very fast, normally they come on the second day after your request.

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

The view is something to look forward to, but there's huge wind cause it's near the ocean. Be careful when you are entering the building cause there might be non-residents following you. Also DO NOT leave your stuff in the common room cause someone might just 'borrow' it.

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

Lots of local shops, a nearby cafe and bar and Lidl. Unfortunately lots of anti-social behaviour around the place and expensive car parking.

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

The receptionist has been very helpful with answering any questions.

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

The area is not that social, it's very boring. Also takeaways have to come across the bridge and are usually then cold! Views are amazing. Lots of international people here which is nice too.

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

There are many small shops around and Lidl that cover most of day to day needs. Good dentist clinics, nice cafe and a bar are within 50 metres from the building. Bus stop is also very close, underground parking is available.

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

We don’t have much problems so far but any small issue is resolved very quickly.

Very nice walk along Itchen river toward Victoria Park and swans that are always at the same place. Phone application that allows to open the doors without keys (fob).
