Local amenities, good transport links, nice developing area. People seem really friendly too. No complaints with the area itself and the connections to other areas of London.
Please review your development:
I was really excited when I first moved in, it all looked really great before getting past the surface. There are a lot of poor finishes on the apartment, paint around the light switches, vinyl floor already raising, which was just noted on the inventory, rather than fixed prior to us moving in. Just a real lack of care when getting to the final phase, especially in the bedroom too.
Furthermore, a poorly thought out set of choices on the furniture package, with a large round tv stand, that already has had a screw come out and a kitchen table that we had to reassemble due to it being built incorrectly and wobbling.
The radiator is extremely poor, it hardly heats up the room and you’d have to be spending a lot of money to heat the room up suitably. It’s got to the point we’d rather just use more blankets. We can see an issue with water drainage above the entrance, where stagnant water has been up there for a while now.
Our hobs not working correctly, which I have raised issues and sent evidence of to maintenance, still not seen anyone face to face, only emails.
Tap is far too high on the surface, which cause splash back all over the painted walls, which we will no doubt be charged for at the end of the tenancy.
No control over amenities, all done through holding company that start you on an arbitrary fee for the first 3 months, regardless of usage.
Location & property will be good for a year but having moved from a similar development in Manchester, we are definitely unsure about staying further. They had the potential to make this brilliant, by just taking a little bit more care on everything.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Amenities
Vinyl floor coming up
Overall finishes
Lack of care
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Daniel on FOH was so nice when we moved in. When thinking specifically on incidents, we’ve only had back and forth over email from another member of the team with no resolution.
