Yes on request and an immediate response. The team is working well together with the customer service being their primary focus.

Great place to live

Gramercy Tower, CF10

Jul 2026

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

Gramercy tower is located right by the city centre with great access to all the shops and restaurants you would want, but it’s located just enough out of the busy streets that it’s still a peaceful place to live. The apartments are also very soundproof so we never noticed any noise from the streets or other flats.

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

Yes they were quick to respond and active in finding resolutions for any problems that occurred.

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

We didn’t notice there was a back entrance at first so carried our furniture round the front!

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

Close to train station and 10 min walk to the city. It's very quiet although the building is in the city but the windows are really good also no noise from neighbours. There is no parking space (just for a few flats) but it's easy to park nearby.

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

All issues have been sorted promptly and the staff was always super helpful.

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

The location is perfect close to local shops (two Lidl stores 20 min walk from GT, the same for IKEA).Train station is just 3 min walk.

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

It located close to the centre, I’m moving in today so I’m yet to know about traffic noise but in terms of facilities in the building it’s designed with care and thought. It’s very calm and homely.

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

So far I’ve not had any queries. Everything has been smooth, if I have any queries I’ve been informed by the team that they are always there which is reassuring to know.

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

From my experience I would say that my viewing was good and I was shown lots of good options. I’m just looking forward to moving in
