5 stars - we love living here!

We have lived here for over 2.5 years now and absolutely love living at Coppermaker Square. The building and flats feel very luxurious and nothing else compares in the local area that is as dog friendly as here. We have a lab who is adored by the management team, concierge, maintenance team etc. The communal areas are always very clean and well looked after and we love the garden for our dog. We mainly deal with Joanna in the management team who is amazing & always so helpful. With us expecting a baby, she has gone out of her way to make life easier for us - we can’t thank her enough for doing this and making the new journey as parents less stressful. Joanna is a credit to the Greystar team and we would be lost without her! We highly recommend living at Coppermaker Square, not to mention the amazing view we have from our apartment, spa/gym facilities, close to the station, Westfield, restaurants and the lovely green dog walks, overall what is offered here, is not available in most places in London. We wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.

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

We have lived here for 2.5 years now and absolutely love living at Coopermaker Square. The buildings are luxury and there is no other development in the area that competes on the quality and being dog friendly. We have a lab who is loved by the entire management team (especially Joanna who is amazing) and he loves the garden space which most developments do not have. Only improvement would be access to parking downstairs for non-disabled badge owners! The location is excellent, close to Westfield, east village, Olympic park, a huge amount of green walks and restaurants to choose from. We wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. Maintenance team are excellent whenever you have a problem and Joanna in the management team is always so helpful.

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

Yes, they are brilliant and always sort out problems within a few days. Very friendly!

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

We wish the parking was available for residents - we would happily pay a few hundred extra for this!

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

Avoid at all cost. Between sewage leaks, heating issues, water outages with the constant rent increase… just find somewhere else to live

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

Very poorly. In a month I stayed 12 days without heating!

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

I wish I knew how bad the property was! I wish I knew that the 24/7 security was only a way of trapping people to sign in.

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

A very clean environment with regular cleaning by employees.The floor where I live also has a pathway for directly disposing of garbage, without the need to take the garbage to a designated disposal location.

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

Almost all issues can be communicated with the apartment via email, and their response seems quite timely to me. For example, recently I set up a request for facility maintenance at noon, and Paul came to help me solve the problem in the afternoon.

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

The washing machine that comes with the apartment, although claimed to have a drying function, cannot actually dry clothes. So you may need to make some extra preparations for drying clothes.

The area isn’t bad and it’s only going to get better. Living here is a great experience one that is full of privileges.

Yes many times all of their maintenance team are very friendly and very helpful and very prompt in their work. In my most recent case it would be with Paul.

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

Nothing to be said here everything is very advertised in regards to what you will receive

INHUMANE MANAGEMENT AND TERRIBLE LIVING CONDITIONS!

Davide D (Tenant)

Verified Resident

East Village, E20

Mar 2026

I have been living with them for 3 years, every winter out heating doesn’t work properly and we need to use electric heaters on top of paying over £300 in heating just to try to not have a freezing cold home. They arranged more than 20 visits, found faults but say the heating is working on paper so even though we don’t feel it at all they won’t do anything further to fix it or provide compensation. We found out this was an issue previous residents also had but this was never informed to us prior to signing the contract and moving in. They keep raising the rent, and my partner has started developing health issues due to this, Sam the Head of Management provides the most robotic and empathy lacking responses arguing that visits from the maintenance team mean they have fulfilled their responsibilities. DO NOT MOVE HERE AT ANY COST!!

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

The area is good and well connected, their service is inhumane and not helpful at all, they don’t care if you’re living precariously as long as they can take rent.

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

Terrible, they don’t fix anything and imply you’re making up the issues in the house

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

I wish I would’ve known it wasn’t a functioning home and that the heating would cause health issues to my partner
