Pretty apartments - that’s about it

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

No more than a 3min walk from the overground, DLR and bus stops. Less than 10mins into Lewisham high street with various budget and higher end stores and supermarkets. Most of the major supermarkets are close including big Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Lidl, Iceland and M&S. very easy to get around south London, east London and get into central. North London is harder to go to but not impossible

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

They don’t respond at all. I genuinely couldn’t tell you if anyone here clocks in to work, I’m so serious. No one responds to calls or texts.

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

If I’d known the bills were set up with homebox and I’d have to collect all my guests from reception, I’d have stayed elsewhere. I don’t care how pretty apartments are, I should’ve be a prisoner in my home. Most apartments have intercoms for guests. It’s unacceptable and inconvenient, especially in the evening,

What’s the catch? So far, there isn’t one.

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

Quiet area despite being incredibly central within Lewisham, which is a huge plus. The locale in regards to tesco, the station, and the shopping centre all make a huge difference when looking at amenities.

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

Some of them, yes. We are still waiting on some longer term issues — fixing the window for example. I would be unhappy if it got to winter and this wasn’t resolved since it will effect our insulation.

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

Bale House seems to be the one to go for. Anchor residents seem to have it much harder with various levels of disruption. It’s by chance that we seemed to end up in the right building

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

The surrounding facilities are excellent. There’s a Tesco right downstairs, a railway station and the DLR within a 5-minute walk, and a shopping mall nearby. Daily life here is extremely convenient.

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

Quick replies, very welcoming, and always ready to solve any problem.

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

The room can get quite hot in summer, so I’d recommend bringing a fan.
