Welcome to Wandsworth, a leafy, south-west London borough overlooking the River Thames. It’s right opposite Fulham and, while the area has plenty in common with its affluent neighbour, living here is notably kinder on the bank balance. Read on to discover developments that are rated the best places to live in Wandsworth. In addition, read reviews from residents who own or rent in Wandsworth.
Great location, good facilities, let down by poor management and high rent
Great shops, parks, cafes and decent transport, although this will get worse as new developments complete as Wandsworth town station is already at capacity.
Please review your development:
Well planned space, generally good finishes throughout but managed into the ground by L&Q. Have had consistent issues with security and access (post being stolen due to broken main door, bikes being stolen because no secure access to parking garage/bike stores, and regular antisocial behaviour on the doorstep). Even when raising these issues they take lengthy periods to resolve. This appears to be improving but based on past experience we’re not holding our breath this is lasting improvement. Rents were also increased by 25% last year which could not be justified by management (response amounted to “because we can”), and there’s nothing to say that doesn’t happen again.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Poor communication and very slow. Only resolution of major issues has been through involvement of ombudsman.
What is the best feature of your home:
Location and property itself. Clean, lots of storage and good facilities.
