We have recently welcomed the first residents to our brand new Indigo Court, Bath Lane development in Mansfield, a collection of 36 one and two-bedroom apartments. Having collected their keys and welcome boxes, they are now busy moving in and making themselves at home. 95% of residents moved in within four days of the first available move-in date, and it is expected that everyone will be settled into their homes by the end of October 2022. To help make residents feel welcome, we gifted them each with a box of goodies to enjoy, which included home essentials such as tea, toiletries, and cleaning supplies. We also provided a handy skip on site to assist with clean up and removal of bulky packaging and waste during moving in. Very soon the new Indigo Court community will begin to enjoy the full Wise Living offering, which includes regular events designed to forge relationships between the residents. The first of which will be a welcome party later in the year. Our Head of Customer Experience, said: “It’s fantastic to see our first residents moving into their new homes, and a real milestone in the growth of Wise Living. Appetite for quality, private rental in the region is high, so we are delighted to be able to bring homes like this to the market that prioritise the tenant experience.“Bath Lane has so much to offer, and its popularity was clear to see from the outset as we received a large volume of interest very early on. We hope that the residents now enjoy their new homes, and we look forward to looking after them for many years to come.” The Great Central Road and Bath Lane sites take Wise Living’s total properties in Mansfield to 162, following the hugely successful launch of The Old Brewery.

This year, our tenant pizza events proved to be one of the simplest and most effective ways to bring residents together. Across all locations, we saw an average 50% attendance rate, which shows just how much people value opportunities to connect with their neighbours. The feedback you shared gave us a clear picture of what worked well, and where we can make future events even better. The overall response was consistently positive. Many tenants appreciated the chance to meet others in the area, enjoy some good food, and speak directly with staff in a relaxed setting. Several tenants also commented that they’d happily attend more events like this, and that they’d never turn down free food!   How we aim to improve in the future: Some residents suggested trying different cuisines or adding small extras, like a kids’ activity corner or simple games while people wait for their food. A few events were affected by rain, so having a shelter or cover would make things more comfortable. Extra seating or dedicated areas for games and conversation could help people mingle more easily. The most common suggestion was that you want these gatherings to become a more regular part of community life. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and it’s already shaping how we plan our next round of community events. Whether it’s more frequent gatherings, new activities, or a few practical tweaks, we’re committed to building on what worked and making future events even better. Thank you to everyone who came along, shared their thoughts, and helped create a stronger sense of community this year. There’s plenty more to come in 2026!
