Unacceptable facilities / cooling issues

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

The area itself has many options, I have lived around here for years. Shops/cafes etc. Two downsides - the trainline, and the amount of people that hang around outside et night, causing noise.

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

No. Not even a fan provided (which wouldn't work against this heat anyway)

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

They should have stated that the air con/cooling is faulty. I will take legal action if I am not refunded fully.

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

This area is accessible to all location and the environment is fantastic, however, the parking access is a major challenge

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

They are doing great and they have great receptionist, such As Lauren etc

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

Nothing really bad, it just the parking space . Parking space is very important knowing that the development also have aPDR which mean people can be invited and if they come they can’t have a free parking spot, and I can’t park my car and I have to pay a huge Amount of £200 a month

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

The local area offers a great balance of convenience and quality of life. There are plenty of supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and green spaces within easy walking distance, making day-to-day life very straightforward. Public transport links are excellent, with quick access to central London and surrounding areas. The street itself feels safe, well looked after and generally quiet. Bin collections are reliable, parking is well managed, and I have experienced very little traffic noise or anti-social behaviour.

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

Whenever I've had a question or needed help, the team has always been quick to respond and really easy to deal with. Communication is great, and everyone is friendly, professional and genuinely wants to help. It's one of the best-managed buildings I've experienced.

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

I wish I'd known how well designed the studios are. The storage is so much better than it first looks, and it makes a huge difference day to day. I also didn't realise how friendly and helpful everyone would be—from the front desk to the community and management teams—which has made the whole experience even better. And it such a key aspect of daily life.

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

We have 4 young kids and absolutely love this area. It’s so safe, the bus stop is right outside, and the tube station is only a 5 minute walk! There are so many playgrounds, restaurants, and groceries stores all within a 5 minute walk as well.

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

Yes! Every small issue we have had was addressed promptly and efficiently!

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

The convenience of everything being within a 5 minute walk is one of the best things about this home!

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

A Co-op, Tesco, and a large Sainsbury's are all within a few minutes' walk - really convenient for day-to-day errands. The street itself is lovely and quiet; I never had any issues with traffic noise throughout my time here. For reference, my flat faced the storage room side of the building.

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

In my case, the building has responded quite promptly.

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

One thing worth knowing — the facilities do vary slightly depending on whether you're in the South or North Block, and having lived in both, I'd say it's worth considering. The North Block has easier access to the laundry room, while the South Block is closer to the co-working space.
