Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
We have lived here for 2.5 years now and absolutely love living at Coopermaker Square. The buildings are luxury and there is no other development in the area that competes on the quality and being dog friendly. We have a lab who is loved by the entire management team (especially Joanna who is amazing) and he loves the garden space which most developments do not have. Only improvement would be access to parking downstairs for non-disabled badge owners! The location is excellent, close to Westfield, east village, Olympic park, a huge amount of green walks and restaurants to choose from. We wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. Maintenance team are excellent whenever you have a problem and Joanna in the management team is always so helpful.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, they are brilliant and always sort out problems within a few days. Very friendly!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
We wish the parking was available for residents - we would happily pay a few hundred extra for this!
Manager response

It’s especially lovely to know that the facilities, and the community, including the dog-friendly environment have made such a positive impact on your experience. A special thank you for your kind words about Joanna. She truly goes above and beyond for our residents, and we’ll be sure to share your feedback with her and the wider team. We’re also thrilled to hear that the concierge and maintenance teams have consistently provided great service. Wishing you all the very best as you prepare for your new arrival, such an exciting time. We’re glad we could help make this journey a little easier for you. Thank you again for your recommendation, and for being such a valued part of the Coppermaker Square community. Best regards, The Coppermaker Square Team.

Always quick to help and try to resolve immediately
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Not the easiest development to move into but the onsite team provided an unloaded bay to use.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Avoid at all cost. Between sewage leaks, heating issues, water outages with the constant rent increase… just find somewhere else to live
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very poorly. In a month I stayed 12 days without heating!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I knew how bad the property was! I wish I knew that the 24/7 security was only a way of trapping people to sign in.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
A very clean environment with regular cleaning by employees.The floor where I live also has a pathway for directly disposing of garbage, without the need to take the garbage to a designated disposal location.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Almost all issues can be communicated with the apartment via email, and their response seems quite timely to me. For example, recently I set up a request for facility maintenance at noon, and Paul came to help me solve the problem in the afternoon.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The washing machine that comes with the apartment, although claimed to have a drying function, cannot actually dry clothes. So you may need to make some extra preparations for drying clothes.
Manager response
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you’re enjoying the cleanliness of the building, the convenient facilities, and the connected underground access especially during the wetter months. It’s also great to know that our team, particularly Paul, has been able to assist you promptly and effectively. We take pride in providing timely and helpful support, so your comments are truly appreciated. We also value your constructive feedback regarding access to the building at night and the washing machine functionality. Your insights help us identify areas where we can continue to improve the resident experience. Thank you again for your review and for being a valued member of the community. Best regards, The Coppermaker Square Team.
