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

Canada Water is well connected, with the Jubilee line and Overground close by, and a friendly neighbourhood group. However, phone thefts and antisocial behaviour are common, including scams and young people on bikes. The area feels like it is slowly getting worse.

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

Don’t rely on your property manager for urgent issues including mice infestations. Expect pests, bathroom smells and frequent maintenance despite outward development appearance.

What is the best feature of your home:

Location in Canada Water and friendly neighbourhood group

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

Location is good, there is a tube station nearby that serves both the Jubilee and the Windrush overground. Big Tesco and and a small Sainsbury’s in walking distance, a few coffee shops and a great restaurant by the station.

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

I wish I had known the scale of the pest infestation, the incompetence and lack of care of the property management staff and the frequency with which I’d be dealing with hot water outages.

What is the best feature of your home:

Literally just the location and the size of the windows in my flat

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

A lot of young professionals live here but there aren't many restaurants/bars locally. You are so close to Southwark Park and Stave Hill which are great benefits. Lot's of travel options out of the area too + we just got Boris bikes.

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

Mostly well. I did once have broken washing machine which they didn't get round to for 2 weeks but aside from that it's been good.

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

There's bike storage! No one seems to use it but it's there. I'd also just reiterate the point about noise from upstairs neighbours.

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

The area is fantastic, taking just two minutes to get to canada water. However, if you prefer to walk, it takes just thirty minutes along the thames path to reach towerbridge, and its a lovely walk! Beautiful greenwich is just 15 minutes by bus or a 30-minute walk, again along the thames path. The area cannot be faulted.

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

I wish i'd known that the walls are completely soundproof, as i was almost put off the flat in case it was too noisy - i genuinely cant hear a thing from neighbours!

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

It would be great if our balcony got a bit more sun, but cant complain too much about that.

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

It has great connections to central London.

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

I wish I had considered which flats get better sunlight.

What is the best feature of your home:

We are on the 15th floor and from the living room we get great panoramic views, looking west across London. It's the perfect setting for a few drinks with friends.
