A Great Place to Call Home: Clean, Safe, and Convenient

Olatunbosun O (Tenant)

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

My area is very good place to live, transportation is top notch, restaurants and local shops are easy to reach and there’s no much traffic noise. I’ve got wonderful neighbors as well. In short, it’s a good and peaceful environment

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

They have responded well, and we were satisfied with their response

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

I wish we knew the internet that comes with the house to prepare myself before moving in

Manager response

Hi Olatunbosun, Thanks so much for the amazing review! We're really happy to hear you’re enjoying your home at The Rise and loving the modern design, it's great to know the style and facilities are hitting the mark. The garden spaces are definitely a highlight, so we’re glad to hear you’re enjoying that and also lovely to hear that the area is working well for you. Thanks for the heads-up about the internet, that’s really helpful feedback and something we’ll make sure is clearer for future residents so they can be better prepared from day one. We’re also really pleased to hear the team has been supportive when you’ve needed help. Thanks again for your kind words, we’re so glad to have you as part of The Rise community! Best regards,

Grateful for a Well-Designed and Spacious Home

Caroline Adams (Tenant)

Jul 2025

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

Living in my local area has its ups and downs. The local shops along Armstrong Road unfortunately let down the overall appearance of the area, lacking in both variety and quality. However, parking is quite convenient, and the street itself is very quiet, which is a plus. My neighbours are friendly, contributing to a pleasant community atmosphere. On the downside, bin collection, especially on recycling days, has been hit and miss. The bin men haven't been very accommodating in taking away our extra cardboard, likely due to many of us moving in recently. Despite these minor issues, I am very happy here, and overall, it's a great place to live.

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

I had to contact building management once about the outside tap not working. They responded quickly and provided clear instructions on what to do. The site manager was very helpful and even came to show me where the valve was to turn the water on, resolving the issue efficiently.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is the location of all the utility shut-off valves. Not just the stop cock under the sink. While the site manager was helpful in showing me where the water valve was, having that information upfront would have been beneficial. Additionally, I recommend checking the availability of nearby amenities, like grocery stores and public transport options, as they can significantly enhance your living experience. Overall, getting to know the neighbourhood and its conveniences can make settling in much easier for new neighbours.

Manager response

Hi Caroline, Thanks so much for your lovely and detailed review! We’re really happy to hear you’re loving your new home and that the space and design are working well for you and your friends and family. It’s great the contractors have been respectful and thanks for pointing out the kitchen light switch situation! We’ll pass that on to see if we can make it easier in future homes. Really glad the management team has been helpful and sorted your tap issue quickly, we always want to make things as easy as possible when you’re settling in. We appreciate your honest thoughts about the local area too as well as bin collection issues your feedback is really helpful. Thanks again for your kind words and recommendation. If you ever need anything or just want to chat, don’t hesitate to reach out! All the best,

The overall property and the surrounding areas are clean and tidy

Haritha Kinkirolla (Tenant)

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

The overall property and the surrounding areas are clean and tidy. The most loveable thing that is very near to the coffee shop (hardly 5 5-minute walk from our building)

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

I haven't brought up any, but I'm hoping for a prompt answer in the future.

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

It was my fault. I looked at a ground-floor flat, but I ended up going with the seventh-floor flat. I assumed it was close to the lift, but it's actually quite a distance away.

Manager response

Hi Haritha, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review! We're really glad to hear you're enjoying Bolt Works, and being so close to a coffee shop is definitely a bonus (hard to beat that 5-minute walk!). We appreciate your feedback about the kitchen/living space and the sofa at Elevate. It’s really helpful to know how this one compares to your previous flat, we’ll keep that in mind when reviewing furniture and layout options in future. If anything ever comes up or you need help with anything, don’t hesitate to get in touch, we’re always happy to help. Thanks again for the honest feedback and for recommending us, we’re really happy to have you as a tenant! All the best,

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

We moved to this property on 1st of July. The overall experience is quite good. The house design and facilities are great. Access to public transport is just at 2 min walk.

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

We just moved in 3 weeks ago and havn't raised any request yet, so not able to answer this.

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

Some of the houses are still under construction because of which we face noise issue all day.

Manager response

Hi Hammad, Thank you so much for your review and welcome to your new home! We're really pleased to hear that you and your family are enjoying the design and overall feel of the property. It’s great to know the location is working well for you too, especially with such easy access to public transport. We really appreciate your perspective as a civil engineer ,your feedback about the kitchen cabinets and ground floor toilet is noted, and we’d be happy to pass it on to the development team. We understand that ongoing construction can be a bit disruptive, and we’re sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. Thankfully, this phase is temporary, and we appreciate your patience as things are completed. Thanks again for your kind words, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything as you settle in! Warm regards,
