Croydon in general is not considered a pleasant city with not the best reputation. The area around No.26 is very different to this. With a number of nice grocery shops such as Amazon Fresh, Coop, Sainsbury’s and large Lidl just a 15 minute walk away and a number of gyms and restaurants around.

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

The only issue we have had over the years was the utility billing. A lot of people have been complaining about the bills only being estimated and therefore in some cases people have been overcharged or undercharged. The building management has recommended not to pay those bills until the situation gets resolved in order not to be charged extra.

The area is extremely close to town so it’s easy to go and nip for a quick lunch. It’s also a stones throw away from the main train station so if we need to go anywhere we can always get a train.

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

Yes they have, we have had a few inquiries on how things work and some small issues that we didn’t know how to deal with and they have always helped us

Living at The Castings has been a great mix of convenience and city buzz. There are loads of great cafes, bars, and restaurants nearby, plus green spaces like New Islington Marina. Transport links are solid with Piccadilly Station close by, though traffic can build up during peak times. The street is fairly quiet, bins are collected on time, and there’s little to no anti-social behaviour. Overall, a great spot for city living.

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

They’ve responded great and always in really quick time! Anytime I’ve had a query or an issue they’ve responded straight away and offered follow up support if ever needed.
