A Guide to Living in Canning Town

Please review your development:

Since the Greystar acquisition, this once-promising building has transformed into a living nightmare.

Picture this: an ongoing mice infestation, frequent elevator malfunctions, and relentless leaks. Why? I think Greystar slashed services to the bone, even dismissing a mice complaint as ‘too expensive to resolve.’

Need proof? Join the Whatsapp group for this property and see for yourself. You can confirm 100% of what I’ve shared here.

But here’s the real kicker—they treat you like prey, not a community member, the moment your lease ends. Brace yourself for a shockingly high renewal offer, seemingly designed to make you pay as much as possible. They know moving is expensive, and they use it to their advantage.

Considering this property or any Greystar/Fizzy buildings? Don’t. Unless you’re into yearly adventures in mice-infested, shockingly low serviced chaos.

After a year, they seem to exploit your presence instead of valuing you as a tenant. We don’t expect red carpets, just fair treatment. Steer clear and save yourself the headache!

Lived in part of Rathbone market, at Maud Street for 4 years from 2018-2022. The property started well with good management from Savills. The in site manager was responsive. But when they were ousted a year or so before I left, the new lot were truly, truly terrible. No on site in person manager, impossible to get a response from, didn’t understand what a deposit was or what inventory meant or how to take a meter reading. Truly a joke and felt glad to leave before the whole development went to pot.

It could’ve been nice but clear that things like the gardening and management of communal area as the original development clearly intended will fall by the wayside.

There will never be a concierge in the concierge office

I can only speak highly of everyone who works at Fizzy East16 and how their professionalism has added value to my experience as a tenant since I viewed my current apartment. From management to security and maintenance, everyone makes me feel a welcome and valuable tenant.
Throughout my stay, there have always been plenty of opportunities to join exciting and relevant community events, as well as privacy has been paramount for those who wish to withdraw from those events in the quiet of their homes. The yoga studio, the co-working spaces, and the social hubs are definitely a must-be-enjoyed add-on to the apartment itself.
Our apartment is modern, spacious, equipped with everything we were looking for, and has plenty of natural light even on the cloudiest days.
I trust that the maintenance team’s capacity will increase as the development prospers, listening to the tenants and always meeting high standards of quality and excellence as they do.
Thank you for making us feel at home in a modern apartment in the heart of busy, buzzing London.

I would highly recommend a viewing to anyone interested, as it was my viewing in person which made me have no questions in the decision to go ahead and become a tenant at this property. Forever grateful.

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

We raised a complaint due to a repair taking too long to be addressed and they responded promptly. We are awaiting a resolution, and we trust that the outcome will be transparent and fair to all involved parties.

Management

Please review your development:

The development is good. But the management needs improvement. Now that indian accomodation is increasing, we require more gathering and management involvement. Also there are a number if problems which have started with respect to hot water. Hope the management improve on hospitality and availability factors.

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

High increment in heating cost. Plus there is less of security. Piggybacking seems to be a huge threat in this building.

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

Their response was average. As they reply very late. Or they are not making it upto the mark of expectations of the tenants. And without completing the maintenance they mark it as completed. Such minor issues create a bad impression.
