Lovely quiet street with easy access to green spaces like the Wellesley Woodlands, polo fields and canal. Choice of local supermarkets and takeaways. Tend to go into Farnham or Guildford for restaurants and bars. Great transport links.

The flats do feel very warm, which is economical in winter, but you need a fan in summer!

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

There is nothing in Aldershot anymore but expect high premium rents to go with it which is unacceptable.

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

They shifted it off to an external company and they forced entry on many occasions.

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

Very convenient location, close to food shops, train station, but out of the way from all the town noise

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

Speedy responses, always helpful and great customer service

If there was anything wrong i would say the bugs, mainly flies come straight in from the bin shed below our windows, this is frustrating but probably only due to the location of this flat and the side of the building that we are on. So I would mention that but then again, the view is better this side.

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

Location is approx 15 min walk from the local shops and restaurants, perfect distance to walk down but also miss the noise. The local shops are quite prone to anti social activities so we could possibly do with a small local shop on the development Clean and well looked after property Bins could be emptied more frequently but this is a council issue not Grainger.

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

My toilet flush was broken, raised this and someone came out to fix the next day

Idea on the traffic works taking place at the top of development. These have been going on for some time and occasional road closures

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

The development is next to the Aldershot centre for healt, it is a short walk downhill to the town centre, a new shopping centre is being built and we have a great theatre 2 in fact. There are 2 remembrance gardens that are both beautifully kept, a high presence of Aldershot being the home of the British Army where some buildings have been kept and converted to homes. The train station serves most destinations and London only 30min and the bus station opposite the train station. Parking is excellent, I have 2 spaces and there is adequate visitor parking. Bon collection is regular and the management keep the area good. In the 5 years I have been here, I have only experienced one incident that involved a domestic dispute, otherwise it is wonderful.

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

I am really happy with the maintenance department, they answer promptly and I receive a call stating when the repair or service will be carried out. I have never waited long in fact in a week our washing machine was replaced.

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

I live on the ground floor, but I have experienced the top level and the views are breathtaking, there is a lift and door access is good but like everything in life the lift may breakdown, having said that I can only remember 2 occasions when this has happened in nearly 5 years.
