The prices are rising and the local amenities do not justify the rental costs. There are places to eat and drink in the vicinity, but there are limited shops and services. You can hear the sirens and traffic even on the 19th floor. The parking restrictions make it hard for visitors to come and stay as there is literally no where to park. Insufficient recycling options in this area.
Please review your development:
Building design is terrible as when it’s windy, depending on the angle either the building shakes and squeaks all day and night, or the window seals whistle. On those days and nights be prepared for no sleep or concentration.
When the sun shines directly on the SE/SW facing windows it sends the temperature rocketing and no easy way of cooling down.
If 1 lift is OOA it means you can be waiting 5-10 minutes for a lift.
The bin room is always a state, and nothing is done to track down residents who dump rubbish on the floor of the bin room instead of the dumpsters provided.
The underground car park isn’t safe as anyone can get in and try their luck at opening your doors. I’ve learned that one 1st hand. RealStar and Uncle will do nothing to help or compensate you.
The building intercom never worked in 2.25 years.
The concierge team are always overloaded when it’s delivery time. However, the Front desk team are a lovely team and are the saving grace for the building. The team in the building are amazing and I will wax lyrical about them.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The rent would always go up and never come down.
The Concierge team, and the estates are lovely!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The lifts get fixed then they break again.
The response to the rent rises (Y1: 26% and Y2: 7.6%) is that you can move out if you don’t like it.
Intercom didn’t get fixed.
Sky + would come and go. Never got fixed.
The building creaks and that ain’t gonna change.
