Country and Metropolitan Plc Reviews

“The value for money is quite good for the size of the apartment. We have only lived here 6 months and so far we haven’t had any issues with the apartment. Our apartment comes with underfloor heating and air conditioning which is great as being by the water can be difficult to regulate the temperature. We also have an open plan kitchen and the living space has a balcony that overlooks the water. The apartment comes with a parking space and visitor parking bays have to be requested 24 hours before which can be a bit of a pain but its almost always cleared. We also have a 24 hour concierge.” – Sep, a verified resident at Royal Quay

Really good quality, nice but boring

Affordable, new/modern, good quality building and everything in the property, really attractive area to live, peaceful and safe but not much to do if you don’t drive:

One tesco one pub.

One dlr stn and buses.

But a really well maintained area and building.

The building management is very good, quick response and get the problem solved.

Good area

The parking is really strict here as I have to send multiple emails and go through a lot Judy for something simple like getting an engineer in. I like the concierge as they’re very useful and I can get my parcels from them. The gardening is nice around the building.

I would like them to add a bit more community activities.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

I dislike the parking here as theres a lot of restrictions

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

Quiet and Convenient

The design of the development is nice. There is a courtyard area secured with a security gate which makes it safe for residents’ kids to play outside. It overlooks the river so there are some nice views.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The area is very convenient. All your major supermarkets: ASDA, Sainsbury’s and Tesco are nearby along with other shops. I have lived here for a while and like it

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

I knew the area already so nothing took me by surprise. There has been a lots of new development in the area recently with more residences and shops which has improved the area a lot

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

I haven’t had any problems that needed to be addressed by management so far

Comfortable spacious and bright home

The concierge is good the planes are bad as they are very noisy, in the day up until 9pm they’re annoying. The flat itself is spacious and it is value for money though it is expensive. There’s a lack of amenities as there’s only galleons reach shopping centre and coop.

The building management informs you via letter in your mailbox if they’re going to do any work.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

I like how quiet the area is and it has parking with a concierge

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

I find there’s nothing I didn’t know before but maybe knowing how warm the apartment gets, we don’t even turn heating on in winter
