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

The location of the development is just great. It's situated close to Sutton Train Station with just 5 min walk. There are lots of bus routes around too. There are various shops on the high street that meet every day needs, e.g. banks , houseware shops , restaurants , sports shops , clothes shops etc.

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

The building management maintenance team was responsive. Stuart is kind and friendly. He explained the conditions of my out-of-order doorbell clearly. After 3 visits of repair the doorbell was back to normal. Only one issue remains unsolved., that is the faulty air ventilation machine producing loud mechanical faults noise. The management staff came to inspect the faulty machine and promised to replace it when the new parts are available. This remains outstanding after 4 months.

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

It us better to allow the potential tenants to view the actual views abd conditions of the flat before making a decision to rent it. More common area photos like ground floor lobby , corridors, lifts , garbage room etc.

Manager response

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review. We’re so pleased to hear that you’re happy with the design of the building, the spacious flat layout, and the cleanliness of the communal areas. It’s also great to know the location near Sutton Station and the High Street has been such a benefit. We appreciate your constructive feedback regarding viewings and additional photos, and we’ll certainly take this on board. Thank you as well for recognising Stuart and the maintenance team — we’re glad the doorbell issue was resolved. We apologise for the delay with the ventilation unit and will follow this up. Thank you again for your recommendation.

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

Fantastic range of shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs. Plus the well house is right outside the train station. Best schools in the UK. Good crime and low depravation metrics. However, it is poorly connected to the underground. And the proximity to the station means quite a bit of train noise.

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

Just as other reviews mention, Stuart is fantastic! So quick to solve your problems.

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

Train noise does start to bother. New construction coming up next door. No noise yet from the site, but it looks like it may become a problem soon.
