5 ⭐️ service by Val

I can’t give Val enough praise for his services. I recently moved into the Bussell Building and requested my tv to be mounted to the wall along with a cable trunk and a few canvas’s put up on the wall. Val showed up and managed to fit me in that very day. He did an outstanding job, nothing was too much hassle and I wasn’t even charged! Couldn’t be more grateful, this man is a credit to the Coppermaker square team. 5 ⭐️

Improvements happening!

Central House, E15

Apr 2026

The building has recently undergone an RTM process, meaning a board of directors (who are also residents) have been appointed and Firstport have been kicked out. Since this has taken place there's been massive improvements to the overall running. The new management company are communicative and responsive. Since they've taken over the reception area has been redecorated and additional CCTV cameras have been implemented. Short term lets have been cracked down on and all but eliminated. The cost of service charge has almost halved since the building has been taken over. I have faith that further improvements will be made and things are on the up for Central House.

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

The local area is great, access to the Olympic park and a short walk to Westfield shopping centre. Pudding Mill lane DLR station is a very short walk, with it only being one stop to Stratford station. The building is located on a busy road but is gated and set back far enough that there's rarely an issue with noise. Parking availability is only for those with a registered bay with this being enforced by an ANPR camera.

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

The mismanagement of the building by Firstport is something I wish I had known, but thankfully the building is finally being improved.

What is the best feature of your home:

The location is great as well as access to important transport links.

Great location and amenities, but comes at a price

Vuhar M. (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Coppermaker Square, E20

The building itself looks great and feels quite modern. The flats are nicely finished and generally feel quite new compared to a lot of places in London. The amenities are a big plus - gym, shared spaces, and co-working areas are actually useful and not just for show. Management is decent overall. They do respond, but sometimes you have to chase things a bit depending on the issue, which is ok considering the scale of the residence. The building is kept clean and secure, which is reassuring.

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

The area is honestly really convenient. You’ve got Westfield literally around the corner, so loads of shops, food options, and places to grab a drink. There’s also the Olympic Park nearby which is nice when you want some space or a walk. Transport is probably one of the best things -Stratford station has loads of lines so getting anywhere is pretty easy. It can get quite busy though, especially on weekends or when there are events on, so it’s not the quietest area. But overall it’s lively and super practical for day-to-day living.

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

They usually respond and deal with issues promptly, especially urgent ones

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

It gets a lot busier than you might expect, especially around Westfield and weekends. Also, amenities can get crowded at peak times.

Manager response

Dear Vuhar, thank you very much for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback about your experience at Coppermaker Square. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the modern design, high-quality finishes, and the amenities during your time with us. It’s especially great to know that the gym, shared spaces, and co-working areas added value to your day-to-day living. We also appreciate your balanced comments regarding management. While we’re pleased that issues were generally resolved promptly, particularly urgent ones, we take your point about occasional follow-ups being needed, and we will continue working to improve consistency in our response times. It’s wonderful to hear that you found the local area convenient and well-connected. We understand that its vibrancy can also mean busier periods, and we appreciate your perspective on this. Thank you again for your feedback. It was a pleasure having you as part of the community, and we wish you all the very best in your next home. Kind regards, The Coppermaker Square Team.
