My Well House living

MimiRose (Tenant)

The Well House, SM1

Jul 2025

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

The quality of shops, restaurants, bars and open spaces are excellent. The transport links are great, It would be more convenient and safer, if there is a bus stop in front of Well House. Parking for visitors is a problem, the handful of parking at the rear of the building is not always available.

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

The management response to problems has been swift and reasonable. Maintenance man Stuart stands out particularly, I have found him to be friendly, knowledgeable and professional maintenance person. Thank you Stuart .

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

It was lovely to discover the community full of Well House, although I have been able to take full advantage of it because I am a shift worker, but I definitely plan to participate in community activities in future.

Positive Experience with Staff and Maintenance, Few Drawbacks.

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

I think one thing that always stands out for me is the Staff at the front desk! Just the way they humanise the interaction with residents like myself, Chantel Anderson have been helpful with figuring our stuff around here. One bad lately is been the changes or delay in bin collection and also some residents smoking within the property. The front door is also often broken, threatening the security of the building.

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

Yes, Flooring and bathroom maintenance in the past few months! Its been a great turn around time.

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

The fobs needing to be reset every few weeks/months, paying £25 to replace fob,

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

An extremely good aspect is that this place is very close to the train station, and all local stores and the market are in 5 min walking distance. A little traffic noise is not a big problem for me. The biggest advantage is that my wife and I rent this place for an affordable price and thanks to that many of our friends also live here or just nearby. We really love this place, no flattering.

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

They respond timely and always mange to solve the issues we raise.

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

For some people it is crucial to have air conditioner, especially in hot weather. As far as I know it is not provided here but for me it is really not a problem.

Jul 2025

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

The building is well located, just 15 minutes to London Bridge by train, with Boxpark right nearby offering loads of great food and drink options.

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

The building management has been amazing and incredibly fast in responding to any issues I’ve raised. There’s a dedicated resident app where you can report any problems, and they’re usually sorted out very quickly—often within the same day. The team is really efficient and always keeps you updated, which makes a big difference.

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

Another thing I wish I’d known is how well soundproofed the flats are—it was a pleasant surprise. Even though the building is busy and lively, once you're in your flat, it's really quiet and peaceful. One of the highlights of living at Ten Degrees is the stunning view of the sunset, especially from the higher floors—it’s genuinely breathtaking.
