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

An absolute disgrace. These people are incredibly rude. I have read some of the positive reviews, and they are almost exact copies of the letters sent by the agency, which makes it obvious they were written by them. I completely agree with others regarding the terrible condition of the building and the constant neglect when it comes to repairs inside the flats. I am now looking to move away from this hell hole. The rat problem is shocking, the building is filthy, and the waste management is absolutely disgusting. They try to increase the rent every few months, yet nothing actually works properly — the lifts are broken, the intercom system does not work, parcels regularly go missing, and many couriers refuse to deliver to the building. I have overheard several residents talking about how much they hate living in this development. I am extremely disappointed by both the condition of the property and the rude, dismissive attitude of some of the people managing it.

I used to love North Cheam, but now it’s basically Croydon 2.0. Constant noise, people shouting, no respect anywhere you go. The whole place feels rough and run-down. It’s dirty, it’s filthy, and it’s a shadow of what it used to be. Ten years ago it actually felt like a decent area—now it’s just gone downhill completely.

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

They completely ignore your complaints or any necessary repairs. The builders leave the site filthy and dirty, and the building does not follow basic health and safety rules.

The new landlord has completely ruined the building, and the standards have really gone downhill.
