I recently moved in and haven’t experienced any problems. A special shout out to Mimi. She has been incredibly friendly, responsive, and professional from the very beginning. She made the entire process smooth, straightforward, and completely stress‑free. It’s rare to come across someone so supportive and attentive.

Living at Fizzy has heaps of perks! It’s perfect for young people who work locally! Good Aspects - Flats are newly renovated - Rent is reasonable given the newly built development and additional perks ie gym included, often ensuite/2 bathrooms - Quick and efficient maintenance repairs - Good communication from building managers Bad Aspects - Carpets/walls in common areas could do with some cleaning - VERY warm outside on the common areas - Antisocial behaviour in the surrounding streets. Often lots of yelling in the evenings, accumulation of young people smoking, drinking and attempting to snatch phones

What the flat looked like as there were no accurate photos on the advert and the management team weren’t able to get current photos from the tenants until a week before we moved in

I have been living in this development for the past four years, and overall it has been a very positive experience. The development itself is modern, well designed, and ideally located. It is within a 20-minute walk of the city centre, with multiple bus stops just two minutes away. It is surrounded by major stores such as Sainsbury’s, Boots, and Co-op, as well as a wide variety of restaurants and cafés just around the corner. Commuting is very convenient, with two important train stations only a seven-minute walk away and the tram station reachable in around ten minutes by bus. The facilities are another highlight. There is a well-equipped gym, and the podium area is beautiful, featuring a BBQ space and plenty of comfortable seating. The management team also puts a lot of effort into creating a welcoming environment, regularly updating the entrance décor to suit different occasions. Monthly social events are organised, which provide a great opportunity to meet other residents and build a sense of community. The management team truly stands out. They are professional, approachable, and always responsive to requests, with a clear focus on residents’ safety and comfort. The reception area includes a nice coffee corner and a very well-organised parcel room, which is extremely convenient. There are, however, a few areas where improvements could further enhance the living experience. An indoor communal space for studying, working, or socialising would be a valuable addition. While the podium is lovely, it is an open area and only practical during the summer months due to the UK weather. An indoor common area would be a real bonus. Parking is another challenge, as the waiting list for the development car park is quite long, despite there being a large car park located directly in front of the building. Finally, while the events organised by the management team are enjoyable, it would be great to see more weekend events and activities that showcase residents’ creativity, such as a handmade fair, book club, craft show, or open day. Overall, this is a well-managed development with an excellent location, strong community spirit, and a dedicated team. With a few thoughtful improvements, it could be an even better place to live.

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

I have been living in this development for the past four years, and I genuinely enjoy living here. The management team consistently responds to any requests in a timely manner. They are highly professional and clearly care about residents’ safety and wellbeing. Benjamine, the facilities manager is particularly friendly and professional; whenever I had issues with the flat door or the ventilation system, he responded immediately and ensured the problems were addressed promptly. Anjum, the security guard, truly deserves special recognition. He is very friendly, cheerful, and polite. When I was unfortunately stuck in my living room in the middle of the night, I called him and he came immediately. He handled the situation calmly and professionally, managing to help me safely with minimal damage to the flat’s infrastructure. I felt genuinely cared for and safe. Dave the management Technician and Lucas, the leasing associate, are both very professional and approachable. They provided exceptional service when I requested to change my dining table. They were keen to offer multiple options and arranged the change immediately—even though it was just five minutes before the end of their shift. Shannon, the leasing associate is always friendly, smiling, and extremely helpful when answering any questions. Overall, this is a well-managed development with an excellent team. I am very happy living here and would highly recommend it.

One thing I didn’t fully realise before moving in was just how central this place is. Having so many public transport options nearby makes getting around incredibly easy and convenient. Although the waiting time for parking slots can be long, the overall experience of living here more than makes up for it. Another pleasant surprise has been the variety of well-organised events run by the onsite team. They regularly create opportunities for residents to socialise, and I particularly like that they support startup and family-run businesses by inviting them to showcase their products in the reception area. This has included food, bakery items, and even plants, which adds a lovely community feel to the development. Overall, these thoughtful touches really enhance the living experience and make the development feel vibrant and well connected.

We were new to London and struggled to find suitable accommodation. The transport links are exceptional, a few steps away from the station and only 3 stops to London City airport making it very convenient to travel. The grocery stores are plentiful and well stocked to suit our needs.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Good aspects: The area is very convenient, with lots of shops just a 5-minute walk away. The station is also only 5 minutes on foot, and having the Elizabeth line nearby makes travelling into London really quick and easy. Bad aspects: There aren’t many downsides to the area, though it can get a bit busy at times because of how well connected it is.

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

The management team are friendly, approachable, and consistently willing to help. From day to day queries to more specific requests, nothing ever feels like too much trouble for them. As mentioned, any questions or issues with repairs that were raised were dealt with almost straight away, which made a huge difference and gave real peace of mind. Communication has always been clear and professional, and it’s reassuring to know that any concerns are taken seriously and resolved quickly. Overall, the support from the management team really contributes to a relaxed, stress-free, and genuinely carefree living experience.
