A Guide to Living in Greater London

Please review your development:

It is great!! There is quick and easy access to parking, and the design of the building is very nice as well. Hopefully it maintains its cleanliness because at times it does get very dirty. It is worth the value in my opinion, however each opinion differs.

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

Management takes a while to respond, this is the only issue.

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

Some of the issues haven’t been dealt with immediately.

Please review your development:

There is a gym in the building so it is handy for residents who love exercising. The management team is great and whenever we have problems in the apartment they come and fix things very quick. Concierge is very helpful and friendly as well. They remember your faces and name. The only thing for me is the sound proofing of the apartment can be better, sometimes I could hear babe cries in the middle of night from our neighbour. It is not too bad though.

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

The management team of the building is not the same team/company as the estate agent. It’s not too big a problem as both teams are fine. It was just a bit surprising to have received a message from the estate agent that if we have any problem we need to contact the management team.

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

The building management responds very quick to any problem arose in our apartment.

On negative side is traffic noise is an issue, especially during rush hour, and while anti-social behaviour is rare, it occasionally occurs.

Please review your development:

The development overall is well-designed, with modern architecture and spacious layouts. The facilities are excellent, especially communal areas, which are well-maintained. Response times for maintenance requests quick. Living in my area has both its positives and negatives. The range of local shops and restaurants is decent, offering a variety of options, but bars are quite limited. There are also a few open spaces for outdoor activities. Transport links are generally reliable, but buses can be crowded during peak hours.

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

I wish I had known how well soundproofed the apartments are. It’s pleasantly surprising that even with neighbors nearby, noise isn’t an issue. Also, knowing that parking spots can be limited at certain times would have been helpful, especially for those with multiple vehicles.

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

Management in my area is highly efficient and responsive. They address issues quickly, whether it’s maintenance, parking, or noise concerns. Their proactive approach makes a noticeable positive difference in the community. Bin collections are consistent, and any complaints are dealt with promptly, improving the overall living experience.

Please review your development:

Building is smartly designed, lots of storage closets and a great layout which makes the apartments feel large. Ample bike storage and parking that’s very easy to access. The buildings only have 4 flats per floor which keeps the noise down. The gym is great, maybe a bit on the small side for the number of residents.

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

I wish I’d have known how windy the balcony’s are. My furniture out there blows all over the place and I’m afraid it’s going to break or fall off. Think they should mention this when we move in so we don’t buy expensive outdoor furniture!

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

Yes – as above they do respond but can be very slow to fix repairs.
