We are 3min walk to the Victoria line and overground train options. We are one stop from Tottenham station so easy transport to Stansted airport with direct train. You do not get any noise disturbance from being so close to the tube/train. We are directly opposite a Tesco and close to Coop and independent stores. Lots of local coffee shops and breweries as well as a great view of the Wetlands, so does not feel like a typical view for London. We look really far North East but its 20min to Oxford Circus. There are available parking spots for a monthly fee but sometimes this can be difficult to get, so there are some other options locally for a fee. We also have food trucks a few times a month.

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

They are usually quick to respond and help when they can. There is 24 hour concierge too who always help when I need something. The parcel room and inside bike storage are so convenient.

I was lucky enough to house sit before I moved in, so I had a time to feel it out before I made a plan to move in. I think you get a lot of additional things living in this building. I think if community is what you looking for then this is a great choice. Sometimes the lifts are out of order, which is completely normal for things to have faults over the years, we then have to rely on external companies to get them working which can take time. This is inconvenient to the people living on higher floors or with strollers and dogs.

Lewisham is great, and this building is very close to Lewisham Station. There’s a big Tesco next door and a nearby mall. It feels safe. However, as a busy area, there is noise from trains and sirens.

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

Yep, I can raise requests easily through the online residents portal. Junior the maintenance guy has also given me his mobile number and he’s super helpful-l!

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

It gets very hot in the summer. The flats unfortunately aren’t built with air conditioning, despite being a modern building. Because of the high-rise structure and floor-to-ceiling windows, the flats get a lot of sun exposure all day, resulting in very stuffy interior temperatures during the hot months.

I have lived in mansbridge house since it opened a couple years back now and I have really made this my home. I have gone through different management over the years, each one providing care and assistance to all of our tenants needs. I’m loving all the new developments that are opening up near me, the only bad thing I could note is unfortunately the homeless that can come and situate themselves next to the building. This can be out of our control but sometimes cause anxiety within the tenants when leaving/entering our homes.

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

Yes, everytime I would travel my hot water would stop working and everytime I have had assistance on this matter and it has now stopped.

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

Absolutely nothing, I have only enjoyed my time more and more over the years.

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

Living here has honestly been such a lovely experience. The area feels safe and welcoming, with a nice mix of local shops, cafés, and restaurants all within walking distance. There are some lovely open spaces nearby for walks or relaxing, which really adds to the community feel. Transport links are convenient and reliable, making it easy to get around. The street itself is peaceful most of the time, with good bin collections and considerate neighbours. overall it’s a great place to call home.

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

Management has always been quick to respond and very helpful. Aga at reception is amazing—so kind and always goes out of her way to help.

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

I wish I’d known how friendly and supportive the community is!

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

The building is located 10 minutes from New Street and New Street Station. Lots of restaurants in walking distance. There are also a number of pubs that are walking distance as well. Situated ideally between Jewelery Quarter and city centre.

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

Building management has on several occasions not responded or forgot about some of our requests due to high staff turnover. Jordan and Simon in the maintenance team have been amazing.

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

I wish we knew that the electrical bill would be incredibly high (over £150 per month) despite minimum energy usage. I also wish we knew that some food and shopping delivery places won't deliver to this development (JustEat and Asda, for example).
