Avoid – terrible management

John S (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Northumberland House, SM2

Aug 2025

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

Shops and transport links nearby are convenient, but unfortunately that’s the only positive thing. Living experience here is constantly overshadowed by poor building management and facilities that are never maintained properly.

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

Management rarely respond at all, and when they do, the updates are vague and unhelpful. For example, they claim the lift is repaired, but it only works for a couple of hours before breaking down again. They refuse to give residents a clear timeline for when the problem will be properly resolved. It feels like they just try to buy time instead of fixing the issue properly.

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

I wish I had known that the lifts constantly break, the building is not looked after, and management are completely unresponsive. So I wont even move in at the beginning .

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

Beautiful neighbourhood, great area, green and gorgeous! Worry free leasing, trustworthy terms and conditions.

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

As we moved in we had some trouble with washing machine: Stuart came checked and replaced washing machine within 2 days. Similarly one of our windows stuck, Paul came in and he already knew what he will be doing. Sorted the problem in less than 5minutes gave me good training and also promised me that if I can do these windows well without getting them stuck again he will get me job in maintenance!

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

If we had known built for renters is such a good choice, we would have opted it earlier!

Manager response

Thank you, Anand! We’re so glad you and your family chose The Well House – love the story of your kids picking it out! Wonderful to hear Jasmine made the move smooth, and that Stuart and Paul were quick to help. And who knows, maybe that maintenance “job offer” from Paul will come true one day ? We’re delighted you’re enjoying the neighbourhood and your new home with us!

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

The quality of local shops, restaurants, bars & open spaces are brilliant particularly in terms of convenience. Easy to reach for daily shopping and donning, close to train stations and convenient commute to Central London.

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

Building management responded to my problems promptly and swiftly.

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

The only issue that I am currently facing with here at The Well House but unfortunately won’t have any solution is the huge construction site right next to the room. The B & Q had been taken down and became a huge construction site that largely affect our living environment here not only in terms of noise issue but also dusty issues.

Manager response

Thanks so much, Vincent! We’re so happy to hear your lovely feedback about Stuart – he really is a star and will be thrilled to know how much you appreciate him. It’s also great to hear you’re enjoying the spaces and community here at The Well House. We know the construction nearby can be frustrating, so thank you for your patience with that. We’re really glad to have you here with us!
