Dolphin Living reviews

10 Gorleston is a great place to live. The units are well built and the courtyard and parks nearby make the space very pleasant. The area is well connected and close to transportation links. The process of renting was quite transparent, so the place is just what I expected.” – Anonymous, verified resident at Gorleston Street

Great building. Terrible managment.

The development has great intentions – discount market rent and fast track to home ownership scheme. We can’t complain on that front. Design is excellent – modern although I know others in the building have had lots of maintenance issues with windows which remain unfixed almost a year after moving in. Rooftop is great, if not very basic – it’s just a concrete slab. Fortunately the lovely residents have done well to add furniture and make it a nice place to hang out.

The main issue is with security in the building which the managment fail to do anything about. It has been getting worse and worse since we moved in. Packages are consistently stolen – people stole mail from letterboxes. I have no faith that the CCTV cameras work since Touchstone refuse to provide footage even after police reports have been filed. Finally just to top it off – FOUR bikes have been stolen from our ‘secure’ bike storage, undoubtedly aided by our front door which consistently DOES NOT LOCK. Do touchstone or dolphin care? Absolutely not. Thieves are regularly entering our building freely and they dont care at all.
Just to add that neighbours are LOVELY and the maintenance team from allenbuild are exceptional. They are the only ones that show any care.

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

Great area, well-connected and near to shops and restaurants as well as Hyde Park. No faults on location!

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

not to put bike in the bike storage or expect to be able to have anything delivered here.

What is the best feature of your home:

large design and neighbours are kind. great location
