Galliard Homes reviews

It is a very good development with sufficient facilities such as reception and cleaning services. It is in a good location, in the vicinity of Canary Wharf but also have convenient nearby local stores such as Tesco and Subway. The security also seems good, with entrance hobs and CCTV in the lifts. Overall a good development to live in.” – verified resident of 35 Indescon Square

OK house but hate the area

The house is good but there should be a bigger sink upstairs. Also the lack of mixer taps shows bad design. There’s a lot of antisocial behaviour going on around here. There’s a lot of youths around the area loitering around and doing drugs. I feel that the area is very unsafe for me and my kids especially during the nights, and the police and community officers are not doing enough at all There’s a bike storage room that has been broken into. There’s a half an hour parking limit for visitor to unload there however the ticket officer gives out tickets indiscriminately, even if the vehicle has been there well below that time. The ticket officer has been abusing her position and residents since I moved here, and I believe is quite unacceptable, another point that there isn’t enough facilities for children , with all concrete development with inadequate playgrounds. In fact there has been a child that has been injured near the playground. This is why I don’t let my kids play outside .

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

The area Colindale is OK with shops, but theres a 15 minute walk to the trainstation which is annoying, I drive so thank God I don’t need to walk that every day

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

I wish I knew about the trouble the area and devlopment was going through

Nice building, amazing location. BAD estate management and politics.

Good points:

Location great, access to everything you need within walking distance.

Nice looking building aesthetically pleasing.

Big gates and doors for security. Key entry fob. Courtyard is like an island of peace within a busy city.

Lesiure centre included with rent, includes a swimming pool. (some bad points about this later)

Bad points:

The estate management is terrible. Poor communication, ignore your emails, Slow to fix things. They havnt opened the lesiure centre even though covid restrictions have been lifted (2nd time they’ve done this) , won’t tell us when it will open or why it’s still closed. They are badly organised and messed up things before like parcels and our key fobs when we first arrived. Some porters are nice but many of them are rude and dismissive. The security just make up random rules when they feel like it, for example if you want to sit in the courtyard (which is like our garden) with a glass of wine on a summer evening that will sometimes be fine, other times they will tell you alcohol is banned on the estate, other times they will tell you the chairs have to be Brought in at 8 pm. Other times they will be left outside. Basically you will be trying to enjoy some peace and quite in your garden and the security guards will just harras you and make rules up as they see fit. I have also not been happy In the past with some of the letters that the estate management have sent to residents. For example The recent tone of the letters regarding covid are quite tyranical and strike a bit of a condescending tone almost like we are school childeren been told off. Really don’t appreciate this kind of thing when we are paying quite a lot of money to live here.

There’s some incredibly weird and irratating politics going on in the bulding. Seems like the management company don’t bother sending you any communication unless it’s to counter against a group of owners who are constantly shoving letters through your letter box because they are trying to oust the current estate management. To be honest I don’t blame them since the current management is useless but the politics is nonetheless annoying from both sides.

The building is old and showing its age and seems to be under constant maintenance.

Sometimes Police sirens can be loud at night and wake you due to central location.

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

Great location, access to everything you would ever need. Both Waterloo and Westminster underground within walking distance. Lots of bars restaurants and shops. London eye, big Ben, St james park. Very nice walks along the river.

Feels safe (considering it’s a big city) compared to some parts of London.

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

The competence of the estate management.

The fact that you have to pay for an induction to use the gym even though its supposed to be free.

How loud police sirens can sometimes be at night time.

The fact that things you are paying for and probably chose the apartment for (I.e. The leisure centre) are opened or closed at the whim of the estate management and they don’t seem to care to give you notice or an explanation. (I’m not talking about covid here)

The fact that you have to pay a deposit for your key fob (even though this should really be sorted by the landlord) and you won’t get your deposit back if you loose your little slip of paper that came with the key years after you first moved in.

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

I would change the Estate management. They have a big impact on our enjoyment of the property.

Ideal if you want the South Bank on your doorstep

The best thing about The Whitehouse Apartments is the location. The South Bank is right outside, and both Coven Garden and Borough Market are a ten-minute walk away – it doesn’t get much more central than that! The Royal Festival Hall, Hayward Gallery, Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Imax are all on the doorstep. The apartments are serviced by 24-hour concierge and we rented a parking space underground. If you work on the South Bank as I do, these apartments can’t be beaten.

Very good for a short rental

I have only been living here for a short time and I think that this apartment block is more of a business building rather than a family building however there are still families who live here. It is kept very clean and I have found that everyone is very friendly.

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

I like that train station is close however there’s no underground. It is very close to the shops which is good.

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

There isn’t really anything as the apartment is very true to what I was advertised when looking for a place to rent.
