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

Living in my area is generally convenient and pleasant. There are several supermarkets close by, and both the tube station and bus station are only a short walk away, making transport easy and reliable. The chute system for rubbish works well most of the time, although it does occasionally stop working. Overall, the neighbourhood has good access to daily essentials and feels comfortable to live in.

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

The building management has been really responsive whenever I’ve raised any problems. They usually acknowledge issues quickly, keep me updated on progress, and follow through until everything is resolved. Their communication is clear, and they make an effort to ensure that any concerns are handled professionally and efficiently, which I really appreciate.

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

Honestly, there wasn’t really anything I wish I had known before moving in. Nothing unexpected has come up, and everything has been pretty much as expected from the viewing.

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

It’s a great location , near it are many local grocery stores and a train station which makes life so much easier, there’s a railway right next to the building but the buildings windows are double glazed so you don’t really hear the trains much

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

Yes, and they reply as quick as they can too.they usually do a maintenance check for the building and every floor has a specific date

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

I wish there were easier access for deliveries and drop off cars

Great Stay and Amazing Staff

The Quarters Croydon, CR0

Nov 2025

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

The location is great, 5 mins walk from East Croydon station (side exit), plenty of coffee shop around and fast food, 2 mins walk from Coop and 7-8 mins from Tesco or Sainsbury’s, and tram stop literally in front of the main door. The only issue might be that at night time few homeless are in the building car park.

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

They always promptely replied to any queries or issues and always tried to accomodate the tenant where possible.

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

Should have been more clear the fact that you can give your 1 month notice only at the end of your 6 months contract, even better if this could be a bit more flexible after the first 6 months in. Also did not expect that the laundry prices would go up every couple of months.

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

The property is a 10-min walk from the Elizabeth Line. There is a big Asda and close to the town centre where you can literally find anything needed.

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

I have not reported any issues, but they act according to the plans made by themselves.

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

We can put the mails posted to our postbox that belong to the preivous tenants into the mailbox at the office.

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

6 mins walk to the Elizabeth line and local stores, have parking and visitor car park space available, there are some good cafe and gym near the development

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

Callan was very kind, helpful, and quick to respond. The property felt new inside, the public areas are kept looking new, and the team replies fast and never turns you away when you need help.

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

There are not many things that I wish to know before, as the agent told me most of the things that need to be aware.
