“I must admit, at first I was a bit dubious about moving into an apartment but it’s gone very well for us. Any problems we’ve encountered have been swiftly resolved. The Estate Manager is extremely helpful. He is always visible – carrying out his work on site, maintaining the gardens and the communal areas.”

“I fell in love with the show house and I chose my new home because it was almost identical. The development is set in beautifully landscaped, well-stocked, communal gardens - and St Albans is a lovely place to live with really nice shops.”
