Stunning development, let down by poor after sales and rude atrocious management company who are not fit for purpose.

Beautiful location and lovely apartment. We love it. But o my god you have to fight to get anything done. The after sales service has been appalling. No one owns up to be responsible for anything, muse blaming vistry who say it’s mainstay the management company who should be contacted, a right old mess.
The management company do bare minimum, the public use this area to let their dogs off the lead like its a public park, dogs mess every where. Litter dropped and mess left. Dodgy people parking up in residents parking smoking weed. Mainstay do nothing. The gardens residents gardens are just used by kids and are not cared for. They are a mess. Skate boarders making a nuisance of themselves on our pavements and roads, these are private gardens and roads and paid for in our every increasing mainstay management fees (which went up after 2 month moving in) totally miss sold that one.
I believe all this can be rectified but it will take either muse, vistry or useless mainstay to take responsibility.

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

Lovely location, shops bars and restaurants all within walking distance.

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

Parking is a problem. Antisocial behaviour from skateboarders. Weed smoking lags in cars parked up all day and night. People using our private gardens and roads for letting their dogs run free and mess everywhere.

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

We live the property. But the parking is a problem. No real parking management just pps parking solutions on the prowel to rip its off. This should have been a gated community. We are paying for it to be but any one can use and abuse the area.

Lovely place to live

The development is beautiful and has a lovely atmosphere. The grounds surrounding are well managed and looked after attentively. The gardens are well kept and the staff who take care of the landscape are very kind and friendly. The neighbours are respectful and kind.

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

The location of the development is perfect. You are a 10 minute walk from the tube but also situated in a stunning park that makes you feel like you are next to the countryside. Parking is good if you only have 1 vehicle otherwise, this can be a slight inconvenience when you have visitors etc.

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

How little the service charge covers considering the amount you pay.

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

Good but it did take a while for small issues to be resolved. It is extremely hard to locate a number to seek help and advice.

All good overall.

Design is brilliant, concierge is very helpful and it makes such a huge difference when you waiting for a parcel. Perhaps the only thing missing is a gym (even if tenants have to pay to use it, it would be great to have one in the complex). Also, a communal garden would be lovely. I can see one from my balcony but my fob doesn’t work in there.

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

Construction noise is the only downside of this area. It did happen that late at night someone was working with heavy machinery.

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

I wish I would have known about the construction work timings. The Council says they starts at 8am but it’s not always the case. I need to find alternatives when working from home as it gets too loud for me but this is just me, the rest is great.

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

No issues so far so I have nothing to diclose in this section.

Magnificent and trendy skyscraper tower !

It is amazing and modern residential building built with meticulous attention to details . In your apartment, you will have multiple floor to ceiling windows overlooking the dock giving fantastic panoramic view but it is shame you can’t enjoy the view ! It is disappointing to find out when you move in that the building doesn’t undergo professional cleaning of the external windows on regular biases (and for some apartments rooms ,mainly the shared ownership, they don’t get external window cleaning at all ) leaving your floor to ceiling windows with thick layer of dust and dirt which blocks the view outside and leave your apartment looks odd . It is also disappointing that you don’t always get a quick response from the management if you have issues at your apartment and you report them . For the facilities, as a shared ownership purchaser , you don’t get access to the building facilities such as the lounge on the 56th floor and the swimming pool .

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

Vibrant and modern spot in East London,superb location with close proximity to public transport, shops and restaurants.

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

I wish I was given more information about certain services like the cleaning of the apartment windows .

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

We didn’t get response from the management when we had requests and inquiries about the professional cleaning of the external surface of the apartment floor to ceiling windows which were in miserable condition when we moved in. We got slow response when reported issues we found at the flat when we moved in ( not working sensor at the utility room, dripping toilet, difficult to handle door socket , difficult to close a bedroom windows due to defect in the handle ) some were fixed , some still needs fixing.
