Notting Hill Genesis reviews

“Camberwell fields is a great community which you don’t often feel you get in the London area! Lots of green spaces within and around the development. We haven’t had any issues yet with the flat. The amenities in the area are pretty good, you’re within a 10 min walk to the restaurants and coffee shops of Camberwell and a Morrisons. The only down side is that it’s not that close to a tube or overground station so can’t give it 5* for that reason but loads of buses to choose from.” – Maria Volkova, verified resident at Camberwell Fields

Nice flats, good area. Some small management problems.

Overall it’s a good building and a nice community to be part of. It’s in a good location and there’s a nice courtyard area. Very close to station and amenities.

Improvements would include concierge – there’s not a very sophisticated postal system (pen and paper) so you don’t know when a package has arrived for you unless you check. The recycling is also pretty bad, with the bins filling up within a couple of days of them being emptied.

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

Like: close to shops, close to oriental food court, 10 mins from station, gym on ground floor, good bus links, traffic usually not too busy.

Dislike: can get loud. Mcdonalds gets very busy. Main road means regular sirens throughout the day.

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

How the post worked with concierge. It’s a massive down step from our previous development.

Not the best

Although my flat is spacious, I do feel like the developers didn’t use the space well, there could’ve been more storage or even more space. There is good disabled access and its a wheelchair friendly home however, it is unsafe to go out due to the large amounts of crime that take place. There isn’t enough green space, but there are some plants outside the flats which are great but they bring in moisture and bugs into the home which therefore means I have to pay extra to fix damages. Building management are expensive or they take a while to come. The facilities are great, lots of transport links, shops and restaurants. My neighbours are disruptive and rude and throw rubbish into my balcony.

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

Like – lots of facilities and good transport links.
Dislike – can be dangerous.

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

The flat is not worth the money and is poorly built.

A great place to live, modern design

This is a cosy close that is well maintained. The neighbours are quiet, the children’s playground is accessible with a fob key,the is a gym on site and a concierge present.
I have no idea why there are negative comments, as I have only ever had a possible experience.
Excellent location with a large choice of supermarkets and not far from the station.

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

Cosy, safe, quiet neighbours, modern, facilities on your doorstep.
A range of restaurants and supermarkets around the corner.

DO NOT BUY with NHG

The development is ok but it has some shady aspects. For example you pay for solar panels that do god knows what, you pay for unadopted roads which do nothing for you other than add costs. Its a way for the developer to cash in on the freehold and charge tenants for EVERYTHING.

Shared ownership buyers be warned! You’ll pay slightly reduced rent but the service charges will skyrocket and are completely overpriced. They’ll lure you in with some decent initial figures but after a year, they got you.

After only 2 years of being here I am looking to sell and move on due to incompetence and charges.

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

The area and the building itself is ok. The staff and charges are unbelievable. Service charges surge after a year of moving in. They will overcharge you for various things and if you do get offered a refund they will take forever to get back to you. They’ll be diligent in taking your money however. Be warned, do not buy or go for shared ownership, its a rip off.

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

SERVICE CHARGE prices skyrocket and can increase at the discretion of the developer. I would never have purchased if i knew.

What is the best feature of your home:

The house itself is decent although some features are a bit shoddy.
