Pocket Living
Pocket Living was created in 2005 to provide affordable London housing for local people. Pocket homes are built for first-time buyers who live and work in the area, and are offered at least 20% cheaper than average flats in the same postcode. Pocket Edition homes are available to anyone, and there's a small selection of these in larger Pocket Living properties. Pocket Living is committed to creating stress-free communities, and hallmarks include welcome drinks at every development and a handy digital portal for a paperless process. HomeViews lists Pocket Living properties across London, including Rosina Street, which teams a rooftop terrace with a location a stone's throw from Homerton station, and Mapleton Crescent – a slick, mixed-use tower in Wandsworth. "Pocket Living is a game changer and I can’t recommend them or what they do enough. Everything within the flat is thought about to maximise the feeling of space. Without Pocket it would have been almost impossible to get on the London property ladder and they have a great team who made the process as easy as possible." – Anonymous, verified resident at Rosina Street

A nice place to live

I love the design of the building, it’s modern and spacious and has nice open communal areas. Even though the flats are technically not that big, they actually don’t feel that small living in them and feels comfortable for 2 people. Security has been an issue in that parcels often get stolen from behind the from gate due to non-residents sneaking in behind people or breaking their way in so I would say maybe the post box area would be better positioned out of sight from the public and perhaps a lock box situation would be good for larger parcels.

Lovely non practical design

The design is beautiful but wasn’t practical. In the first six months people broke in through the gates because the gaps between the poles was too big and stole bikes from our enclosed bike shed. We had to keep installing new security measures, more advanced cctv and more secure locks in order to make our belongings safe because people were targeting us for parcels and bikes and using our communal areas to do drugs and hang out in the winter. All of this cost us a lot of money and meant immediate steep increases in our service charge. The drsign also caused a lot of issues with magnetic locks not working, plumbing lines not being done correctly and fire alarms for the building going so frequently the fire brigade began to fine us

Modern design, residents lounge available, terrace with 360 views across London, bike store and lockers for residents. Secure mailroom, cctv. Most residents are first time buyers so there’s a good community vibe, not too many rented apartments, functional flats

Very modern and unique design by acclaimed architect. Large communal terrace on 24 th floor with breathtaking undisrupted views across London from Wembley to Canary Wharf ( St Paul's, London Eye, Shard, Battersea Powerplant all nicely visible). Two floors bike areas, lounge floor with up market setup waiting area.

Okay, not perfect

Overall the development is great however we do have significant issues with the lifts, as well as the main building doors not closing properly which has lead to a number of parcel thefts. The build quality isn’t great and a number of snagging issues arose however I’m very happy to have my first home.
