From the very beginning, I was searching for a place online from overseas, and the whole process with The Eades was incredibly easy, smooth, and efficient. Every question I had was answered quickly, which made the experience much less stressful. The first time I actually saw The Eades in person was the day I moved in—and honestly, it was even better than I expected! I was so surprised by how well-maintained, clean, and organised everything is. A huge thank you to George, who leads the team. He patiently helped me every step of the way, and the whole team has been incredibly helpful, welcoming, and genuinely joyful to deal with. A special shout-out as well to the day and night reception teams—they are always so friendly and make the building feel like home. I also love the fitness manager, Manisha, who runs fantastic Pilates and gym sessions for the residents. And thank you to the team at ARC, the co-working space, for creating such a great community. Finally, a big thank you to the cleaning team. You can really see the care and attention to detail they put into keeping everything looking its best every day. Thank you, The Eades. I truly hope that one day these homes will be available to buy, because I would absolutely love to make this my permanent home. — Wei

The building management team has generally responded to issues in a professional manner. Communication has been helpful, and they have taken steps to address maintenance requests and concerns when raised. Some matters can take time to resolve due to the size and complexity of the building, but overall the team has been approachable and willing to assist. Regular updates and proactive communication with residents would further improve the overall experience.

Overall, I have been very happy with the property and really enjoy living here. The building, facilities and general environment have been very positive, and I appreciate the quality of the development. Of course, every landlord has different arrangements and decisions, but if utilities such as water and electricity could be included in the rent, it would make things even more convenient and straightforward for residents. It would also be appreciated if there were more rental incentives available, as I understand some residents may have received a few weeks of rent discounts when moving in. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience and would recommend the property.

The best thing about my local area is that we feel safe in this neighborhood. Not necessarily is a bad thing but we are not ble to reach a big supermarket chain in walking distance.

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

recent changes in management have become a growing concern among residents. Decisions appear to be made without seeking or considering resident feedback, leading to frustration and a declining level of confidence in the management process. Conversations with staff across different areas of the development also suggest that many employees share similar concerns with some expressing uncertainty about the direction of management and the way decisions are being communicated and implemented. This apparent lack of consultation and transparency has contributed to an increasing sense of disconnect between management, staff, and residents, undermining trust and confidence within the community
