Management is great

A Non (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Ten Degrees, CR0

Jul 2025

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

Excellent management and very good facilities and location for renters who find it difficult to find rental properties in the private sector. The staff are wonderful, especially Daniel. The only downside is the incredibly high rental prices for both the flats and parking spaces. However, everything is excellent other than this.

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

Always responded adequately and promptly, no complaints.

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

The apartment furnishings are on the cheaper side - my flooring is already in need of replacement after only three years' of use.

The Well House, SM1

Jul 2025

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

There is a lot to do in Sutton, including places to eat and nice shops. It has good transport links and schools available. It is quite busy but, not as busy as central London.

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

Stuart was very helpful in repairing our door after contracted builders did a poor job of replacing the frame.

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

How much maintenance and surveys would take place during our tenancy.

Best place I’ve ever lived in!

Laith Makableh (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Jul 2025

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

Quite nice location nearby the East Croydon Station, with close proximity to the high street shops, super loop bus, tram, and bus stops. Only one thing to consider probably is to have a place for kids to play in one of the amenities (if possible) that would be immensely useful and great for families within the building

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

Immediate reassurance of receiving the issue and fast response usually

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

Nothing to mention really, as everything was clear for me in both the communication and the contract

Excellent building and incredible staff

Omer (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Ten Degrees, CR0

Jul 2025

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

The surrounding area has tons of local cafes, restaurants, and grocery shops. You're almost spoiled for choice. The train station, which has great connections, is right next to the building. However, the area is rife with anti-social behaviour and violent crime.

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

The dedicated maintenance portal works really well.

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

You don't have an option to change the heating provider, which charges quite a lot. However, we hardly ever needed to turn on the heating since the building is really well insulated. This can cause very hot summers though as the temperature inside is a couple degrees higher than outside. Investing in a good portable AC would help.
