Embassy Boulevard, SW11

Nov 2026

Moving to Embassy Boulevard by Moda has been one of the most tiring and traumatizing experiences I have had in a long time. Tips for people considering Embassy Boulevard by Moda Living: 1. Be prepared for stressful and unresponsive processing of your rental application. My contract was only issued two days before the move-in date (I had to chase them all along the way). Don't expect to be able to move-in on your indicated date, my date got pushed around without giving any certainty several times, despite me having paid the deposit and rental monies upon receipt of contract or two days before the move-in date. 2. Do not trust MODA to hold up any rental offers until you see it in writing. Two days before my move-in date they have informed me that the previously promised 2weeks rent free was not valid for my apartment, without giving any further rationale. They continue to market my type of apartments with 4weeks rent free! Since I only got my contract two days before the start of the new tenancy (and expiry of the old tenancy) I had no choice but to sign it since I have already handed in my notice to my previous landlord. I understand from having spoken to other residents that this is not an isolated case. 3. Be prepared to deal with a number of issues upon moving in. So far known issues include 1) no hot water (mine was turned off and it took two days for engineer to turn it on), 2) no heating (i still do not have heating 3weeks after moving into the property, 3) unclean apartments (my apartment has not been cleaned since they undertook all the viewing and possibly snagging works), 4) presence of plaster beetles, whilst harmless to humans they indication persistent presence of mould within the apartment (fortunately, my apartment was unaffected). 4. Anticipate appalling treatment and responsiveness from the senior management. Any queries raised take at least a week to get a response, and most of it is written with AI with very little filtering. There is a high turnover of staff and general understaffing across the development, which is leading to all sorts of operational issues (untidy bin areas etc.) At this point, my only comfort is that following tenant reform we are no longer bound to suffer for the duration of our AST and can vacate with a two month notice, which is what I am expecting to do next. It is a real shame because the apartments and the community are great, but all of it is being overshadowed by complete and utter incompetence from the Moda team. Unsurprisingly, even after more than a year since the end of construction, majority of the apartments within the development remain vacant. I hope this at least helps someone to make an educated decision before committing to move here.
