Abri Homes

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

The location of Tasman Court is amazing, it’s so close to everything local but far enough away to not suffer from noise and tourist issues. Parking was always available with the permits provided and bins were cleaned regularly.

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

They eventually sorted the issues but it took so long and made such a mess in the flat that resulted in a lot of damp. They gave all our deposit back however

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

I wish I knew what Abri we’re known for, with response times

Bins are good, location is great! Very close to beach and shops as well. Parking is never an issue either.

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

It takes a while sometimes for issues to be fixed. But they eventually do get fixed which is good.

Prepare to have a lot of maintenance issues at first move in.

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

The bin area is not well kept. Area is quiet but can get occasional noise from partygoers at the harbour. Parking is good but too many trees so car often gets made dirty by birds.

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

Not applicable to me as not had needed or had issues yet.

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

Ask about bins and how often they come to collect. Also have a look inside.

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

Great location, tesco and coop within 5 minute walking distance for any quick shopping. A good range of restaurants also within walking distance. Property is a stone's throw from the marina and is lovely to walk around the area which is generally quiet and pleasant. Parking is on residential private car park where you have to display a permit. The spaces can get taken quite quickly leaving you with no choice but to park under the trees... the birds quickly make your car very dirty! Communal bin area is very dirty and smells, also sometimes get overfilled with waste and bags are left on the floor, then council refuse to collect rubbish and it piles higher and higher. The courtyard area is well maintained and quite nice to sit in, sometimes kids are playing there.

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

I haven't raised any issues with building management.

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

Parking availability can be limited in evenings and nights if coming home late. If you forget to display your permit you will get fined, so it's better to stick the permit onto the windscreen of your car.

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

The area is Close to the city centre, easy bus links. Building as on site car park for visitors too

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

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

Can be mould in the flats. I wish I had known how hard living on 2nd floor with no lifts would be
