I’ve rented various places across London, and of all the property managing agents I’ve dealt with, Fizzy has been the most efficient and easiest. And that’s down to Mariya who has been brilliant from day one and first viewing through to move day and beyond. She helped create a seamless move, from guiding every step of the way, being able to contact her whenever needed, to resolving a few issues on move in very quickly. A true asset to Fizzy, and the most helpful agent I’ve encountered in all my years of renting. I also can’t speak more highly of Paul in maintenance, absolutely brilliant, resolved a number of issues found at move in within a few minutes of me raising them. Both have been absolutely excellent at all times, 10 out of 10

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

Great location near station, shops and restaurants, and a short walk to some nice outdoor spaces. Transport links are excellent.

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

Yes, and that’s down to both Mariya and Paul, everything raised has been resolved in minutes from reporting, brilliant and very efficient

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

Able to access the rear of the building for deliveries made things even easier than expected

My overall experience here has been excellent. I would particularly like to commend the concierge, Manva, whose service, professionalism and attitude are truly exceptional. The way he resolves matters goes beyond expectation, and his approachable manner makes him feel less like a staff member and more like a trusted friend to residents. If I may suggest one minor improvement, it would be in the apartment design. While the overall style is modern and appealing, the wall behind the kitchen and the storage space could benefit from some refinement. That said, the quality of living here is outstanding in every respect

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

There are plenty of restaurant nearby, you can easily go into Westfield by going downstairs, living here is pretty good so far.

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

Overall the experience is good, but with the leasing team there can sometimes be a wait of one to two weeks. On occasion, you may even need to follow up yourself or visit them in person before things move forward more quickly. In contrast, the concierge team are always prompt and polite in their responses, and they resolve matters very efficiently..

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

Everything has been very good, to be honest. If I may offer a small suggestion, it would be that whenever the whole team is away on annual leave or attending an event (for example, the leasing team), it would be helpful to inform all clients who are currently in progress with you. Otherwise, it can feel a little frustrating when no one is available to answer questions or resolve issues.

Manager response

Thank you for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that your overall experience with us has been excellent. We are especially grateful for your kind words about our concierge, Manva. We are so lucky to have him on our team! We will take your suggestions into consideration as we strive to continuously improve our community. Thank you for choosing to live with us and we hope to continue providing you with outstanding living experience.

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

Such a lovely location, I was hesitant at the start as it is a bit further east than what we were considering however since its so close to the station its so easy to get to central London. Also there are so many stores within 5 minute walk and some very lovely areas not to far where you can go and walk by the water. Id say the only thing is missing are pubs but there are a lot of nice bars in the area so its not the end of the world

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

Yes anything we needed fixed was fixed on the same day so they are so attentive and helpful

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

Its been so pleasant from the start and gone above my expectations. I guess the only thing that I wish i knew was how lovely everyone in my building are, everyone is so kind and helpful cant ask for better neighbours
