A guide to living in South London

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

Couldn't be much closer to trains buses trams. Restaurants shops pubs etc also. Parking is paid but they gave me free parking over the weekends I moved in and out. Anti social behaviour is everywhere in Croydon, the street is generally fine I had no trouble.

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

They respond very quickly and fix things within hours. Even on a bank holiday someone came out specifically just to fix my radiator.

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

Greggs is shut on Sundays. The coop is great it is round the corner and open till 11pm. Don't walk down alleyways at night. The side entrance to the train station isn't open early morning or late night so be careful when trying to time it. Flats facing the main road get very hot in the summer, Croydon doesn't have much green space. Council tax and tfl to zone 1 are expensive in Croydon. The flat is very safe, the staff are great, the flats are modern and well furnished. The price is fair.

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

Good connectivity and access to local shops. Very close to Sutton hight street for all shopping brands.

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

Prompt and in timely manner. Thanks to Stuart and him team.

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

Jasmine is so kind - she showed us all the amenities and the flat along with answering all our questions.

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

The development feels very secure and safe, the neighbours are very friendly. The area is surrounded by an abundance of coffee shops, local supermarkets and gyms. It is very well connected with surrounding parking, great transport links into central London via train, the bus and trams near by can be handy too.

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

They have responded professionally and with a timely fashion. For example, when two of the lifts were broken down at once the team were patient and responded to my questions.

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

I would say the wi-fi can be unreliable at times, additionally the council tax bands were unfortunately unknown at the time. Sometimes a lift does break down, which can make the waiting time slightly longer. However, overall I am pleased with the development.

Trains take you to wherever you need to go so quickly. Less than 15 mins to London Bridge. Wish they would open up the footpath outside to get to the station faster
