I love it, having everything you need in the building is fantastic. I feel safe all the time and so easy to get anything delivered and it won’t go missing either. The staff are always lovely as well and they get eveything done straight away. Would defy recommend it to anyone.

The design is good , has easy access points to all parts of the building including multiple lifts and staircases. Having the two blocks with the garden part in between is also handy and easy to access. The parking is ok but you can only have one car registered and they don’t like you coming in to drop off anything with your car.

Design is super clean and modern, I like it! Concierge is brilliant, always super approachable and friendly. Post and parcels are secured in mail room whilst at work. I don't have a parking space but when I needed one, they always arranged a temporary one for me. Really accomodating and really made the flat feel like a home.

The building is secure and has amazing amenities such as the lobby and the tenants club room as well as the gym. Staff and management are always very helpful, kind and take extra good care of the residents. We never had any issues or nothing to complain about during the 3 years residence in Smiths yard.

The building is smart and tidy; it doesn't compare to some of the more new luxury developments in terms of expensive finishes but it is safe, functional, and well maintained. The flats are really well designed and planned, plenty of storage and good layouts for a variety of uses (e.g. roommates, couples, WFH etc). The concierge staff are very helpful & seem happy to be there, and maintenance has always been prompt (and no additional costs). The lack of intercom is a little annoying, but there are phones in the flats that allow the concierge to call you so grocery deliveries/cleaners/guests/etc can still get to your flat door without you having to go downstairs. The best feature of tenancies here is the rent increases are capped in your contract - we take on 2 year tenancies which increase every 2 years by 4%. This is unheard of, and because the rest of the market is increasing at the rate of inflation, there are flats in the building with fewer bedrooms coming back on the market now for the same price if not more than we pay. This is a very cost effective place to live if you plan to stay for over 2 years.
