Perfect convenience at Folk

Florence Dock, SW11

Sept 2025

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

Living at Folk in Battersea is the perfect location. It's literally a 20 second walk from the front door to the river bank - with an excellent French restaurant mid way! The building is off the main road and has very little traffic. Even closer than the river is an NHS doctor, dentist, pharmacy and Co-op store. Clapham Junction is a 10- minute walk and there are 2 buses that go there if that feels a bit much.

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

Yes - I had good response to a problem with my hob.

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

One of the best Italian cafes is a 5 minute walk along the river - a daily treat!!

Amazing Experience at Sunday Mills

Tunde Kutlu (Tenant)

Sunday Mills, SW18

Sept 2025

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

Everything is incredibly close to the place, with Wimbledon Village right around the corner for anything Earlsfield doesn’t have as well as train connections to London Central to get there incredibly easily.

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

Very kindly and fast. They have a good system in place where they can keep track of all inquiries and solve them as fast as they can.

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

I just wish I knew more about the events so I could be more active during the first few months I moved here.

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

While the parking situation can be challenging, I recognise that it's beyond the developer's control and is primarily influenced by the mayor's Greener London initiative.

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

No issues raised. Everything was perfect

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

I wish I would had known about Moda Living way before.

Staying in FOLK

Aug 2025

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

Living in Wandsworth is great, as it is close to many parks and you can easily escape the hectic bit of London. Right next to the Themse it is still close enough to the city center - connectef through boat, buses and train (in Clapham). I definitely recommend for anyone that needs to calm down after a day of work.

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

Quickly and empathetic - they cared about my wellbeing.

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

I wish I knew that I need to buy my own blanket and pillow for my 6 month stay.
