A Guide to Living in Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham

Please review your development:

It was a good block of flats, but due to Centrick, the Managing Company in charge of it, the block is now falling apart. Centrick will routinely ignore residents reports of issues. A few examples: Lobby door has been broken for over a year. Lift has constant outages and Centrick will only act when several residents starts complainning.
Cleaning is way bellow average, carpets at common areas are filty and way over their lifetime. Rooftop has been sistematically being vandalised/demolished. Bin room is full of rats and discarded materials which stay there forever.

Wish I knew how bad Centrick, the management company is! I activelly loocked for a flat in this block because I love the location and was in search of a modern flat. Unfortunately, once I moved I realised the buiding management is the worst.

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

Building management by Centrick is the worst I’ve even seen. They do not act on the issues we raise.

Please review your development:

The Property management very bad. Ventilation system in the flat and in the common area even worse. Door entrance sometimes not working. Thieves often try to break in (with success). Windows do not open properly. The billing system is not very transparent.

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

Parcels are often stolen, not very secure building. Also bikes often stolen despite being inside a locked room.

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

The building management is often very slow in coming back.

My flat is well designed and spacious, with quality fittings and appliances in built. There are some rumors about the management being poor but Ive contacted them on loads of occasions and they’ve been pretty easy to deal with. They fix the rare issue with the lift and door quickly and have installed cameras for added security recently. The bin room smells a bit but not a big issue as its away from the living areas. Car park is good and gated if you have a car.

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

The corridors can get warm in summer but theyre also warm in winter which helps to keep my heating bill down so not really complaining about it!

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

Yes – there was an issue with the lift which was resolved pretty quickly. And they have a 24 hour line so I can contact them anytime. They’re pretty easy to deal with unlike others I’ve used.

terrible house.
No privacy. You smell neighbour smoking and cooking and watching TV.
Walls are super thin.
Leakage in public area very often.
The doors are not able to be properly closed.
The management company centric say they are working on it.
But every time it’s fixed, it breaks in one week. Thus a lot of issues with stolen parcel.
If you call the metropolitant police and tell them you are Gooch house, they knew where you leave because we are famous in their system.
How do I know? I made my first 999 call in my first month here and they told me 🙂
