Hell!

Tenant (Tenant)

Haredon House, SM3

May 2026

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

An absolute disgrace. These people are incredibly rude. I have read some of the positive reviews, and they are almost exact copies of the letters sent by the agency, which makes it obvious they were written by them. I completely agree with others regarding the terrible condition of the building and the constant neglect when it comes to repairs inside the flats. I am now looking to move away from this hell hole. The rat problem is shocking, the building is filthy, and the waste management is absolutely disgusting. They try to increase the rent every few months, yet nothing actually works properly — the lifts are broken, the intercom system does not work, parcels regularly go missing, and many couriers refuse to deliver to the building. I have overheard several residents talking about how much they hate living in this development. I am extremely disappointed by both the condition of the property and the rude, dismissive attitude of some of the people managing it.

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

None.They don't do repairs at all.Everything is dated.Windows are also extremely dirty,no one ever cleaned them.Cables hanging all over the place.

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

Used to be good,since the new owner took over, everything is just stress.

Ten Degrees, CR0

May 2026

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

The local area is very convenient, with a good range of shops, restaurants, cafés and supermarkets nearby. Transport links are also a big positive, with easy access to trains, buses and main roads, which makes commuting and travelling around London straightforward.

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

Building management have responded to issues in a helpful way. Especially Daniel has been very helpful with communication where needed, and overall assistas whenever problems are raised.

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

One thing I wish I knew before moving in is how convenient the location would be for day-to-day living. Having shops, transport links and local amenities nearby has made things much easier than expected, especially when commuting or running errands. It is definitely one of the main positives of living here.

Manager response
