Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The convenience of living right next to Lewisham station is unmatched. I thought I’d be too far away from Central but it takes about 15 minutes to get to London Bridge which is amazing. The Tesco beside our building is perfect because it has everything you could need. I think we need more local bars and restaurants but I’ve enjoyed what we have so far and we’re not too far from Deptford and Greenwich where there’s a ton to do.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building management has been incredible. Super responsive and helpful. I want to reiterate that Junior is a great member of the team. Very helpful, professional and kind.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I knew there was no air conditioning. I am used to being a bit cooler in my space.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I love Lewisham and living here. It’s full of character and has incredible transport links. Big Tesco next door as well! I love the location.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Junior really does his best and is amazing but there are too many problems even he couldn’t sort out. Often it’s the design of the building. Building management don’t seem to care about anything else
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I knew all the small faults I mentioned before and the lack of care from management.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Good location that allows easy access to commute, parks, malls etc. Noise and dust from trains might be a negative aspect to keep in mind.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Always very responsive and kind, helping to resolve any issues or questions!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The noise and dust from the trains might be worth keeping in mind. During summer, it might be difficult to balance between having the doors open (to keep the apartment cool) and the noise/dust from the trains.

Good aspects of living in this area is the new built property, public transport connections and helpful management Bad aspects could be not having a balcony in the Bale house apartment

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The furniture provided could have been more better and steardy. Single seater is not very steardy.
Manager response
Hi Shreya, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We’re so pleased to hear that you’re enjoying the design and overall atmosphere of Bale House, and that you’ve found the team especially Junior to be friendly and helpful. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him! We appreciate your feedback regarding the balcony and the furniture. While we’re glad the new build features and location have been a highlight, we understand how having a private outdoor space and sturdier furnishings could enhance your experience. Your comments are valuable and have been noted as part of our ongoing efforts to improve our homes and services. If there’s anything further we can assist with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re always here to help! Warm regards, Bale and Anchor Management Team
