Lovely modern build but needs more regular maintenance

Boyd (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Ten Degrees, CR0

Apr 2026

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

Plenty of local shops and eateries nearby. Transport links with trains, trams and buses on the doorstep so couldn't be better. Expensive for parking on-site and no crydon parking permits allowed due to an agreement between developer and council when first building Ten Degrees. Something that was never highlighted and a shock to find out after moving in. Box Park opposite Ten Degrees can be incredibly loud with music until late evening.

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

Slow response. Reported the plumbing issue 17 days ago and still waiting for even a phone call to give an estimate of when someone will attend.

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

Lack of being able to get a residents parking permit.
