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

I think one thing that always stands out for me is the Staff at the front desk! Just the way they humanise the interaction with residents like myself, Chantel Anderson have been helpful with figuring our stuff around here. One bad lately is been the changes or delay in bin collection and also some residents smoking within the property. The front door is also often broken, threatening the security of the building.

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

Yes, Flooring and bathroom maintenance in the past few months! Its been a great turn around time.

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

An extremely good aspect is that this place is very close to the train station, and all local stores and the market are in 5 min walking distance. A little traffic noise is not a big problem for me. The biggest advantage is that my wife and I rent this place for an affordable price and thanks to that many of our friends also live here or just nearby. We really love this place, no flattering.

They respond timely and always mange to solve the issues we raise.

The building is well located, just 15 minutes to London Bridge by train, with Boxpark right nearby offering loads of great food and drink options.

The building management has been amazing and incredibly fast in responding to any issues I’ve raised. There’s a dedicated resident app where you can report any problems, and they’re usually sorted out very quickly—often within the same day. The team is really efficient and always keeps you updated, which makes a big difference.

Another thing I wish I’d known is how well soundproofed the flats are—it was a pleasant surprise. Even though the building is busy and lively, once you're in your flat, it's really quiet and peaceful. One of the highlights of living at Ten Degrees is the stunning view of the sunset, especially from the higher floors—it’s genuinely breathtaking.

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

The accessibility to the station, Croydon boxpark and the town centre couldn’t be better. Commutable to London Bridge and Victoria within 15-20minutes. Easy journey to London Gatwick via East Croydon Station. Parking is quite expensive and there are unfortunately a few homeless/displaced people nearby the station.

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

I haven’t personally had to raise any issues; however, building management communicate very effectively via email.
