A guide to living in South London

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

I had a good time at the well house property while staying at the property for close to 3 years however I was in for a rude shock when I vacated the property, the management wanted to deduct £1350 of my £1600, after having thoroughly cleaned the property through professional cleaners prior handing over, unfortunately I had to take this matter to the DPS-Dispute protection scheme and finally £300 was deducted and my entire £ 1300 was returned back to me. These developers try to do up the whole flat with your hard earned money, painting, steam iron the curtains etc read your agreement diligently and keep records of maintenances and all your correspondence with management which actually saved me and in the end fight for your right.

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

Yes they do most of the time, however had a tough time with the leak in the bathroom wall which had to be left till we vacated.

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

If I knew that the windows are not sound roof and one can still hear the Nosie of the train

We have a tram stop outside and East Croydon station within a 5 min walk. The area is up and coming with some really good places to eat.

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

They have been prompt and have been very helpful as well as respect privacy.

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

Try and view at least 2 apartments before making a decision, that’s what I did and the staff gave me a choice. This does help you potentially see different floors/views and size of rooms.

Quarters is conveniently located close to restaurants and shops, and most importantly the train station.

I’ve not had any issues during my time in this apartment

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

Absence of a gym can be a limiting factor for many

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

Couldn't be much closer to trains buses trams. Restaurants shops pubs etc also. Parking is paid but they gave me free parking over the weekends I moved in and out. Anti social behaviour is everywhere in Croydon, the street is generally fine I had no trouble.

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

They respond very quickly and fix things within hours. Even on a bank holiday someone came out specifically just to fix my radiator.

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

Greggs is shut on Sundays. The coop is great it is round the corner and open till 11pm. Don't walk down alleyways at night. The side entrance to the train station isn't open early morning or late night so be careful when trying to time it. Flats facing the main road get very hot in the summer, Croydon doesn't have much green space. Council tax and tfl to zone 1 are expensive in Croydon. The flat is very safe, the staff are great, the flats are modern and well furnished. The price is fair.

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

Good connectivity and access to local shops. Very close to Sutton hight street for all shopping brands.

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

Prompt and in timely manner. Thanks to Stuart and him team.
