About Comer Homes

River is very appealing, well maintained and built with safety in mind. For an example of maintenance, the lifts have been out of service before but were fixed very quickly – within a week. The design is great for example, the fire doors automatically shut and the fire alarms run on battery and on electricity so safety has been greatly considered. I also feel incredibly safe because of the onsite concierge and the several cameras at different entrances in addition to the fob and key system. The ground rent can only be changed once every 10 years which is great. Unfortunately the land next to the building was previously not very secure so some squatters using drugs moved in there however building management has responded well by blocking off the land and placing security there so the squatters have been driven out and the land has been overturned to prevent this happening again. I do like my view from the balcony as I have a view of the river. The area is upgrading and it is safer than it was as the royal arsenal development has provoked more interest in the area and so nice buildings are being built and more businessmen are moving in. The service charge is fairly expensive though very worth it because a lot of maintenance occurs such as litter picking and other work from the cleaners. Closer transport links would be ideal though.

It is disappointing that Mast Quay has potential but suffers from unbearable issues.
The street is extremely noisy and the windows don’t seal properly. Comer Group will not you replace the windows.
There is often bike thefts and break-ins and the conceriage are not often there nor do they stop the break inside (which is fair as the thieves are often armed) which has happened on several occasions. police do nothing either.
the developers are also doing building next door which is very loud and dusty and replacing the balconies which has taken over a year and the equipment is still on the balcony, making them largely unusable for children.
Finally and most importantly the neighbours are often unruly and that includes the children. they often throw trash outside their windows and the smell of weed is rampant. if you open your window you can not avoid smelling it. with windows closed you will hear the parties and drunken shouting.
we are moving out because of this behaviour.
The conceirage were nice but most have left. although they only cover one building out the three. and since they are only in 1 building I have seen on a number of occasions men just force the building main sliding door’s open without using a key card. so not super safe. I can also not comment on the number of times you smell weed in the building and lifts. speaking of lifts, you will be lucky if one for them works and in 1 year for 7 months total one lift kept breaking down and out of service.
to be honest it’s a bit of a ghetto mentality type of people (don’t care how they look, what they do or how it affects their neighbours) in saying that there are some lovely and considerate neighbours. we however can’t stand it and will be leaving
