B&A - where all your needs are taken care of!

Riva (Tenant)

Bale & Anchor, SE13

Jun 2025

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

Proximity to two stations (Lewisham and Elverson Road), grocery, shopping town center - all within walking distances, makes the location of bale and anchor super convenient

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

I had some issues related to the main door battery and moulds growing from the side of window wall corner - it was promptly and efficiently taken care of - Junior, the maintenance staff is super nice and friendly and always eager to help

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

Better sofa at the lounge, the current one is uncomfortable and the balcony should have sliding doors

A Great Stay — Thank You

Anonymous (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Florence Dock, SW11

Jun 2025

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

Overall a really great place to stay. Immediate area is sparse due to not as many shops (just a Co-Op round the corner and a Tesco 5 mins away) but a 10-15 minute short away is Clapham Junction. Also Battersea is not far and the location is nice by the river.

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

Yes they fixed whenever the fuse breaks (only a few times). Took a little while to fix the previous tenant’s damage to my flat’s bed but otherwise good.

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

The actual room set up that you get is potentially different to the show room you are shown when touring during a viewing.

Great access to transport, shops, and green spaces. The street is quiet, safe, and neighbours are considerate.

A Great Place to Live, with an Even Better Community

David B (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Mitre Yard, NW10

Jun 2025

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

In terms of local amenities, there's admittedly not a huge amount right on the doorstep. I understand the building is in an industrial area that's slowly being regenerated. While transport links are decent, not having a go-to Tesco or any other convenience shop within a five-minute walk can be a bit frustrating. On the upside, I absolutely adore our close proximity to Wormwood Scrubs Park. We love taking our dog there every chance we get. The neighbourhood also feels incredibly safe, which really puts my mind at ease – especially at night.

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

We never had any significant issues thus far; however, they have been quite helpful with any query we've had over the past year.

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

One thing I wish I knew of beforehand is the close proximity to the tracks, which can be quite annoying at times due to the sound pollution. On the other hand, I also did not know that we'd be so close to such a big park! Which is a big plus for dog owners.

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

The local shops and restaurants are in walkable distance. The location is very convenient to travel to London as the station is next to the property. Local bus transport links are great. Parks are near by and neat.

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

The management team is very prompt in responding to the issues raised.

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

About the parking. The parking fee is slightly higher.
