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

Very convenient to the east Croydon station, also personally to my work office. Can be a bit noisy of construction work if living on the street side.

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

Once my sink in the bathroom stopped leaking water, they reported quickly to my issue and arranged for someone to come and fix it.

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

It would be great to have a notification system for any parcel received

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

The location is perfect. It is close to the high street in Sutton, opposite the police station and 3 mins walk to the station. There are several bustops within reach too. The commute to Heathrow and Gatwick airports are good too with direct buses to Heathrow costing less than £3. There is a park Mobs walk away and there are nice schools around. I've been here for over 4 years and security has never been a concern. Parking availability however is a problem and you can hear trains due to the closeness to the station.

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

They are very quick to respond. I haven't had many issues and I've been here over 4 years

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

I did my research and I'm still here. I was one of the first to move in so no regrets
