The location is perfect, being right opposite Colliers Wood station however noise from the street is almost unbearable as it is close to a hospital there are constant sirens which can be heard through the windows even when closed and high up in the building.
Colliers Wood is a great area with great connections to central London and close to loads of shops and also Wimbledon town centre

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

I wish I had known about the heat of the appartments.
Also about the noise from the flats.

However, the flat is quite spacious. The building is clean. The neighbours are nice people.

There is a concierge between 9am and 5pm, there was a concierge at night for a while but not anymore.

It is very close to the station, a nice quiet area, it is a relatively clean area. Trains into central london are good.q

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

i wish i knew there would be scaffolding for months when i first moved which meant you couldnt open the windows.

Maintenance of the building is disappointing. The lifts regularly breakdown and can be left out of order for weeks. Problems with the main doors. Lots of issues with supply of hot water previously. Car park gates occasionally out of order. Windows are filthy and have not been cleaned since the building works completed some 18 months ago. Generally issues within the apartment are dealt with promptly, although sometimes property management can be challenging. Rent has been increased at the end of each fixed term which feels unjustified given the issues with the building.

Communal facilities are non existent other than a lobby area. There is no provision for visitor parking and dropping off shopping/belongings using your car can be difficult, although concierge may let your car in temporarily if they are available. Still no provision for cycle storage either despite the planning application including one cycle storage space for each apartment.

Area is very convenient with transport links at your door step and variety of shops close by. However, on the flip side it is quite a busy and noisy area with the tram line, bus station and traffic (including emergency service sirens) along Wellesley Road.

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

I would like to have been told that there is no commitment to provide bicycle storage facility despite the vast underground space and even bicycle parking signs; during my viewing I was incorrectly informed this would be provided but after 18 months this is still to materialise. I would also like to have been told that the landlord had plans to convert the underground car park into a hotel; a planning application made with outcome expected in the summer of 2020.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

Provision of bicycle storage and visitors parking.

As my project went in dilemma i may have to stay back in india for a while hence i informed on my vacancy to management. SOmeone entered in to the flat and stolen my items. I am shocked by how they allowed someone without my permission. I lost 500 to 600 pounds worth of items.
I informed the team upon the same and requested to check the CC footage but no response as expected.
I vacated the flat and chased almost 2 months for my advance return. I am still getting the bills for energy and others as management is not confirming to energy suppliers.

The apartment is close to Sutton station which is the main advantage of this apart from this no single advantage to stay in these apartments.

Conjusted and worst management.

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

If i should have seen any reviews on management i should have not considered this apartment for myself and never recommended to anyone.

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

worst management ever seen in my life. I went to India in the month of March and stuck due to coivd 19.
