Yes if we’ve had any issues with our flat they have resolved it immediately

Great Concept, Poor Execution

Laura (Tenant)

Altura 50, CR0

Jun 2026

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The location is excellent, getting to and from East Croydon is very easy and the building is right opposite the station.

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

No response even after reaching out privately to solve issues amicably

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

I wish I had known that the 'luxury' experience requires residents to be their own advocates. Security: Don't just trust the standard key card access; many of us have had to invest in secondary door locks for peace of mind. Due Diligence: If you are a light sleeper, test the noise levels of the lifts and appliances before committing to a unit. Paper Trails: Be extremely thorough with documenting your move-in and move-out dates, as administrative errors on final billing statements can be a real headache.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Good range of local food shops and restaurants, but failing shopping centre with low presence of good retail options. Loud on Boxpark event days. Few non-paid parking options.

Most issues resolved quite promptly. Some slower fixes due to replacement parts of faulty items not being readily available.

Noise levels are night can be quite high especially on days of boxpark events.
