Void deck is always spotless and the lifts are reliable — when ours broke down it was running again within two days.
Could be better

Reported a faulty sensor light and it was fixed the same week. Genuinely well looked after.
Could be better
Only gripe is the drainage by the carpark floods after heavy rain — hope it’s on the list.
