Lovely place to live, with expected difficulties with management and service charges not in one’s control.
Opposite underground station. Lovely and safe area, close to leafy suburbs. Parking on site is available for those that bought, otherwise street parking is not available.
Please review your development:
Design is excellent but construction was not done to the standards it should have been in some areas and specific cases. Generally it’s a lovely place to live, people and neighbours all of high calibre. Management of finances could be better and the access to the gym and concierge is not available to the shared ownership block, a bit of an apartheid really.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Possibility of escalating service charges was not really well explained.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Not always positive. Many times we are fobbed off without proper investigation. The housing association is clueless as to what actually happens at the development while they try to act as mediators.
