Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Berkshire House’s residents team ( specifically Oxana Apostolache ) are outstanding. I have always been able to contact them and get a prompt answer/solution either via email or app. They are clear and informative about what services we should expect in the building and keep reminding residents of property rules per contract. I’m very satisfied with their service so far.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Residents team always respond to me within a couple of days with clear answers.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That I could not transfer the tenancy internally to another apartment within the same building If I wished.

Oct 2025
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is excellent, within walking distance to a variety of restaurants, gyms, cafes, and the train station. Parking in the area is not possible without renting one of the dedicated parking spaces, as the town center has strict parking limitations.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building management always proactively addresses issues for the whole building, and any problems for my particular flat are always addressed professionally in a timely manner.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The studio flats to get quite hot in the summer time.

Oct 2025
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Union Wharf is in an amazing location, right next to Cutty Sark where there are a lot of restaurants. The DLR and trains are a short walk away. You have Waitrose and other smaller super markets near by (2 minute walk away). Greenwich is also a beautiful area in general.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Issues are looked at straight away. We use an application called LOFT where we report any issues on site.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I knew about this place sooner so that I could’ve moved in sooner!
