A guide to living in South London

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

The location is great, 5 mins walk from East Croydon station (side exit), plenty of coffee shop around and fast food, 2 mins walk from Coop and 7-8 mins from Tesco or Sainsbury’s, and tram stop literally in front of the main door. The only issue might be that at night time few homeless are in the building car park.

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

They always promptely replied to any queries or issues and always tried to accomodate the tenant where possible.

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

Should have been more clear the fact that you can give your 1 month notice only at the end of your 6 months contract, even better if this could be a bit more flexible after the first 6 months in. Also did not expect that the laundry prices would go up every couple of months.

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

My commute to work in London is actually quicker than when I lived in London and you’re literally a few seconds walk to the station. Easy access to Gatwick. A lot of airport hotels but that means lots of options for places to eat as well.

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

Always fixed within 24 hours - although they do have the odd day in the winter when the boilers break.

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

It would be handy to know and see the view of the room you’ll move into - I love mine but I didn’t know what it was until I moved in as only saw show apartments.

Close proximity to high street and the train station. Good choice of supermarkets and fast food chains but poor selection of shops.
