No.26, CR0

Apr 2025

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

Croydon in general is not considered a pleasant city with not the best reputation. The area around No.26 is very different to this. With a number of nice grocery shops such as Amazon Fresh, Coop, Sainsbury’s and large Lidl just a 15 minute walk away and a number of gyms and restaurants around.

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

The only issue we have had over the years was the utility billing. A lot of people have been complaining about the bills only being estimated and therefore in some cases people have been overcharged or undercharged. The building management has recommended not to pay those bills until the situation gets resolved in order not to be charged extra.

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

Everything was pretty much clear prior to moving in.

Comfortable and convenience

Apo Barking, IG11

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

The availability of transportation and the convenience it offers have been commendable. However, I would like to bring attention to the issue of parking availability. Although I do not own a car, many of my friends do, and we often find ourselves having to park quite far away, specifically at Asda, which is not ideal. I believe it would be beneficial to consider implementing a grace period of one to two hours for residents' family and friends to alleviate this issue.

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

Their speed is impressive and incredibly efficient! I’m all for it – thumbs up!

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

I wish I had been familiar with the neighborhood before I moved in.

Great Living Experience with Supportive Management

Venkatesh (Tenant)

Charter Place, TW3

Apr 2025

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

The local area has a nice range of shops, cafes, and supermarkets within walking distance. There are also a few open green spaces nearby, which are great for a walk or some fresh air. Transport links are generally good, with buses and train stations not too far off, making commuting fairly easy. The street is quiet for the most part, though parking can be a bit tricky at times. Bin collections are regular and there’s minimal noise or anti-social behaviour, which adds to the peace of the neighbourhood.

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

The building management has always responded quickly and professionally. They’re polite, helpful and make sure issues are resolved without delays.

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

Honestly, there haven’t been any major surprises. Everything has been smooth so far. If anything, I wish I had known how responsive and helpful the management team would be, it would’ve made the decision to move in even easier. A small tip for new neighbours, it’s worth getting to know the team early on, as they’re genuinely supportive and make the living experience really pleasant.

They received us warmly, listened carefully, and solved the problem quickly.

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

Before moving in, I was worried about safety and delivery issues. After moving in, I found it very safe, quiet and convenient for receiving goods.
