Better than london!

Review Date Nov 2019

My overall impression of the building was ‘wow, it looks like a hotel’. it gives a nice modern feel to it. My apartment is the largest, the living room is huge, the bedrooms can be slightly small but then platform_ have so many other facilities that its all just worth it. the only words I had for the lounge was ‘beautiful’ and ‘amazing’. I love a nice study/work area and well as relaxing vibe with a cup of coffee and some netflix! The sunset views on the roof terrace are worth seeing.

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

I just moved to crawley from London, I live with my work colleague who has been here a year now. We absolutely love platform_ It looks brand new. It is so close to town and everything is walking distance. I don’t need a car! I can definitely say Crawley is by far the best compared to London. I don’t like such a busy city with the prices ridiculously high. Its definitely worth the money.

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

Nothing – I was informed about everything before I moved in. I am a very simple person with not many demands so I have no issues here whatsoever.

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

The concierge are so friendly and that is what we like. We can always stop over for a conversation.

There is a light at the end of the floods

First impressions of Platform, was that it was a “newly” refurbished apartment complex with good intentions. As with all properties, it comes with good and not so good things. The flat itself is OK, clean and good finishes although once you start living in it, things like flooding (ceiling issues), heating problems in mid winter and no hot water, start to arise. Besides this, the bright light/star of all this is the Concierge and Tracy has been a wonderful professional and human being that worries about the tenants and ensures we all live in a comfortable and secure area, she has been the reason we still reside in Platform. Thanks Tracy!

Good location and transport links, walkable and shops

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

The walls are paper thin and the ceiling is not very helpful for the rain

Need improvements

Platform is located in a very great location which make very easy to commute. On the other hand the rent are very expensive, the service provided by the people who look after the place are not always nice, we had so many issues last winter with no hot water no underfloor heating, had to wait 4 months to get those issues fixed!

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

I love the actual location of the place (center of Crawley), it’s nice to have a concierge on site to collect your parcel and answer any queries.
I don’t like the service help desk, they are useless and don’t come back to you when contacted very quick they let you wait for couple of days

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

Make sure you take pictures of the flat before you move in to cover your back in case they try to deduct any money from your deposit. If you have a car then make sure you register it as you’ll find yourself with a £85 fine

Location is fantastic

The location is excellent for Crawley and nice and close to the train station. Lots of value for money here considering the location and all of the facilities. Security is good and I always feel safe which is reassuring. The common room is great for entertaining guests and relaxing with friends. Convenient to have a gym and it is in good condition. Spacious bathroom is nice! Also, the staff are very helpful with responding to any issues or queries.

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

Proximity to the town centre and my place of work is super. No car parking for guests around the development.

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

Sometimes the hot water doesn’t work so well – especially late at night.

High standard with a stylish contemporary interior

Moved 1 month ago. I really appreciate the professional way the team has handled the move
– Tenancy check was straight forward using uktenantdata.com, you get updates on each phase of the check.
– Detailed report of the pre-move check on the apartment
– All home appliance manual made available online for reference
– In the heart of the town. Good for tenants without of vehicle as most of the shops are nearby including GP
– Sara and Tracy ~ helpful and professional staff on-site for assistance.
– This two bedroom apartment is light and airy and benefits from a spacious open plan living space

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

– For internet broadband there is no option to switch providers.

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

In case if you get your broadband bills re-reimbursed by your company, Platform doesn’t provide bills/invoices from Internet.

What is the best feature of your home:

– View of Crawley town from my living room
– 2x Bathrooms very convenient for a family with kids
– Lounge access for get together free of cost.
– Concierge/Helpdesk takes care of receiving couriers on our behalf
