    A good experience, but could have been better.

    Somewhat long drawn out, but a simple enough process with everything explained clearly. Time scale went on too long and could have done with being as little shorter.

    This was a terrible application process.

    This was a terrible application process. So many inaccuracies (lies even), errors on info provided by The Marden, over 4.5 months process and abysmal communication.
