Great place to live

Sunday Mills, SW18

Oct 2025

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

The building is in a very quiet and green area, yet just around the corner there’s a lively main street with plenty of great restaurants, bars, and shops. The only downside is that the west side faces the train tracks — the studio has good double-glazed windows and air conditioning, but you can’t keep the windows open all the time.

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

Maintenance can be a little slow at times, but it’s not a major issue.

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

The building is next to a train track so if you live in the West side you will hear the train if your window is open. Not a major issue if you don't open your window all the time.

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

I am so happy with the team especially Ethlin, she is really helpful and lovely person. Living in my local area has been a very pleasant experience overall. It’s a friendly and safe community with convenient access to shops, cafes, and public transport. The neighbourhood feels peaceful and well-maintained, and there’s a real sense of community among residents, which makes it feel like home. If I had to mention one downside, it would be that parking can sometimes be limited, especially during busy hours. However, this is a minor issue compared to all the positive aspects of living here. Overall, I’m very happy with my area and truly enjoy being part of this community.

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

The building management has always been very responsive and professional whenever I’ve raised an issue. They handle requests quickly and communicate clearly about any ongoing maintenance or updates. I’ve found the team to be approachable, polite, and genuinely caring about residents’ comfort and satisfaction. On the rare occasions when a problem took a bit longer to resolve, they still kept me informed and followed up until everything was sorted. Overall, I’m very pleased with the way management deals with any concerns — their support really adds to the positive living experience here.

I love Sunday Mills because its very safe and positive environment

Modern Living with Great Amenities and a Welcoming Feel

Oct 2025

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

I've only recently moved in, but overall it's been lovely so far. There are lots of cute restaurants, cafés, and grocery stores nearby, offering a great variety and quality. It's very walkable, and everything feels close and convenient. Public transport links seem good, with regular buses and nearby train stations, though I’m still figuring out the best routes. I don’t drive, but I cycle, and there’s been plenty of space to store my bike safely. Bin collections appear reliable, and I haven’t noticed any anti-social behaviour or excessive traffic noise, which has made settling in really pleasant.

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

I had a problem with the shower shortly after moving in, and the building management responded right away. They were quick, professional, and had it fixed without any hassle. It was reassuring to see how efficiently they handled the issue.

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

I wish I had known how to use the gym speaker system before moving in—it wasn’t immediately obvious how it worked, and there weren’t any clear instructions. It’s a small thing, but it would’ve made workouts more enjoyable from the start. Otherwise, everything has been smooth!

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

The area is very lovely I love Wandsworth Nice places to eat, run and great coffee shops Lidl, home bargains, M&S, Tesco and Sainsbury's all near by Earlsfield station 5 minutes walk away and Tooting Broadway a 10 minute bus ride away Easy bus connections to get you to near by areas, Battersea, Clapham, Balham, and Tooting

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

I would like to especially mentions Ethlin, who is just so friendly and welcoming. She takes time to speak with you and if you have an issue always goes far and beyond to solve it. When I come in or see Ethlin, she always greets me with a welcoming and warm smile. She has taken time to learn my name, my families name and even things about us, which really shows that she cares and is interested in us. She makes the place feel more like a home.
