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

There are no bad aspects. All transport is under 5 minutes walk, the super markets & the park are all so convenient.

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

They respond quickly through the app which is what I’d expect from a building of this calibre. The important part is that the service is high quality. This is what makes living here important. Other places respond quickly but the work completed is not thorough.

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

All good. Every time I raise a ticket the response it urgent. Paul came on a Saturday and did an outstanding job and completed multiple things, even when he was only tasked with doing one. He went above and beyond what was asked and stayed late to get the jobs finished rather than pushing them back till Monday. Jose has also visited my apartment multiple times and hung my tv and helped me with furniture to make my apartment homely. Both of them have excellent attitudes and I’m grateful to have them help me.

Manager response

Dear Matt, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such an incredible and detailed review. We’re truly grateful for your kind words and your recommendation, it means a great deal to all of us at Coppermaker Square. It’s especially wonderful to hear your recognition of Paul and Jose. We’re incredibly proud of their dedication and work ethic. Going above and beyond, whether that’s staying late to complete tasks thoroughly or helping to make an apartment feel like home, is a true reflection of the service standards we strive for. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with them; they’ll be absolutely delighted. Thank you again for your thoughtful review and for being such a valued member of our community. Best regards, The Coppermaker Square Team

The facilities are more private club that rented apartments, the wellness centre and pool are phenomenal, the co working spaces are great for getting out of the apartment and working in a good environment with on tap lattes, the communal space is fab for winding down and in the summer the outdoor spaces are a little haven, Affan , Dhaeran and the team are helpful and we are happy we chose this accommodation

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

Next to westfield and stratford station and handy for everything you need from food to entertainment.

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

quickly and efficiently with updates via the online app

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

How handy everything is , all you need is on the doorstep

Manager response

Dear Traycie, thank you so much for your wonderful review and for awarding us 5 stars across all categories, we truly appreciate it. We’re delighted to hear that you’re enjoying the facilities and that the building feels more like a private members’ club than rented accommodation. It’s fantastic to know the wellness centre, pool, co-working spaces (with those on-tap lattes!), and our communal and outdoor areas have all enhanced your living experience, especially during the summer months. We’re also very pleased to hear your kind recognition of Affan, Dhaeran, and the wider team. It’s wonderful to know that the convenience of the local area, from Westfield and Stratford Station to everything on your doorstep, has been such a positive part of your experience. Thank you again for choosing Coppermaker Square and for being a valued member of our community. Best regards, The Coppermaker Square Team

The building is modern and beautiful. The apartment was functional but a bit sterile. There are restaurant discounts for tenants and event nights with free food and drinks once a month. There’s a gym and 24/7 concierge (but the nighttime staff are pretty lazy and often go missing for hours). You can get food delivery right to your door but if it’s something like Uber Eats, they won’t be let into the building and you have to go downstairs. The staff can be lazy when sorting out packages and it can be hours before they will give you a package. I had to beg them for a package once after going down twice because it was urgent and time sensitive. There’s a free monthly cleaning service but you don’t get to pick day or times and have to leave for the duration. It’s thorough but I wish I could schedule it according to when I know I’ll be out anyway. There’s no dedicated parking. The parking lot next door you have to pay for independently. On a final note it is very expensive. 1 bed apartment was £3,600 pcm plus utilities.

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

Great location. Easy transport options from buses, train and underground all a short walk away. The Westfield shopping mall is right on your doorstep too so there’s lots of choices for shopping, food and entertainment.

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

They didn’t really response to anything I asked about.

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

They exit process. Also, although I paid upfront for 6 months they said I owed a small amount of rent at the end of the tenancy yet I only spent the time I’d paid for.

I have had a very positive experience living in this development. The overall design is modern, well thought out and creates a comfortable and welcoming environment. The facilities are well maintained, clean, and practical for daily living. Both building management and property management have been excellent, they are responsive, organized and always willing to help. Any requests or issues are handled promptly and professionally. Maintenance support has also been outstanding, with staff who are skilled, respectful and reliable. Overall, the development is well managed and offers a high standard of living that I would confidently recommend to other

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

There is a good range of shops, restaurants and cafés nearby, offering both convenience and quality, and open spaces are well kept and pleasant to use. Transport links are generally reliable and make commuting easy, although peak times can sometimes be busy. Parking can occasionally be limited but overall traffic noise is manageable and the area feels safe and comfortable to live in

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

The building management has always responded promptly and taken care of all our requests. The repair and maintenance staff member, Mohammad, was amazing, he did a great job and was consistently professional, helpful, and courteous.

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

We also have access to the other Fizzy building, which is only about a 7-minute walk away, and we’re able to use all the amenities there. It’s a great bonus, with a spacious communal area that includes table tennis, a pool table, and a well-equipped gym, giving plenty of options for both relaxing and staying active.
