Design is perfect and management is excellent

Review Date Sep 2021

Need more quality furnitures as it tends to get worn off with age. As this property is purpose built for renting, I believe the furnitures should stay for long.
Design is perfect and management is excellent

The Property is excellent. Pub just 1min away, Bus stop just cross the road, train – 4mins walk and what’s more, lots of shops around. No anti-social behaviours around the premises, good security service 24×7

Response and the issue was sorted in 24hours as there was a heating issue.

Well situated, just about affordable, nice flats but poor water quality

The building is well refurbished and has great security guards on the front desk who help with receiving some parcels. There’s automated large lockers that can hold larger parcels if you’re not in at the time. The price is beginning to get too high for what it is (and I’m in one of the cheapest flats) as it rises each renewal.

The biggest problem is the water quality, it’s EXTREMELY hard, to the point where it goes off the scale of a testing kit I used. It dries the skin of myself and my partner out instantly meaning we have to use large amounts of moisturiser to even mostly counteract it. My skin is irritated at all times. They need to do something about this and I’m surprised more people aren’t complaining about it.

The main problem with my flat (despite being on the 8th floor) is that bridges that access parts of the building look into my bedroom, kitchen and living room. So I’m always on display for passers by, this was pretty awkward so I had to buy privacy film for all of my windows. Now I can’t really see out of any of them which is a little claustrophobic but better than making eye contact with strangers as I get dressed.

Last complaint is that other tenants seem to be unable to walk 1 minute around the corner to the other bin room when the main one is full. This leads to people just throwing rubbish bags all over the floor when the main bins are full, it’s pretty gross and means the building staff and bin collectors need to clean up after them every time. This has happened consistently since I moved in.

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

Access to tube stations, busses and shops is great. There’s less to do when it comes to cinemas, bars and restaurants but you don’t need to go too far to find things.

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

The water quality being poor and extremely hard, that would make me think twice.

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

When I’ve asked about replacement parts in the past they’ve given me the details of the people I need to contact for them. It’d be nice for them to handle those things directly but it’s not too bad.

Great design (Interior floor plan and exterior design. BAD ! building management

Love the off street terrace areas, great security (Intercom doors with camera’s). Love the big rooms

I am not happy with the building maintenance. Cleaning of the buildings interior and exterior is not being done yet our service charge has gone up within six-months of us moving in.
Network Homes are quick to blame current residents breaking automatic door (evidence was sales assistant watching tenant holding door open) but I have noticed sales assistant herself pushing the automatic door open as it was about to close. Yet we get penalised (I thought cameras were there for security/evidence)

It seems you can report faults but nothing gets done and falls on deaf ears.

I have a problem with my sink plug. They sent someone around to have a look and all he did was put WD40 around the rim and said that would fix the problem.
YEAH !!!!! that hasn’t worked.

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

Good:
– Close to transport (Buses stops & Train Stations)
– Close to supermarket
– Off street parking

Bad:
– Busy main road
– Anti-social behaviour from Shisha lounge across the road. Leaving rubbish all over street.
– Bin men have broken the bin room return arms and have not been fixed.

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

Not given a full price list of all the properties that were available within the building at the time of enquiring

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

Fobbed off and not listened to regarding cleaning of building.

Pleasant and homely

I love my apartment. It is very sizeable for London. The plaster board needs painting and however one would most probably want to redecorate anyway. The fittings are pleasant. The balcony space is great for summer. The lift does break down often so probably not great for children. The management does respond to fix as quick as the can.
The development is pet friendly. People do sometimes disrespect the bin area and sometimes people gain entry to the foyer. This is nothing unusual for London. I would have preferred a concierge however we have an excellent residents group.

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

There are difficulties as one would expect in London with litter and anti social behaviour. However it is a safe area as there is so much cctv around the property. Long term parking is a difficulty. The area is very well located for central London due to so much public transport. The council is responsive. The bins are emptied regularly.

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

The shisha bar near by with its late night activities.

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

Yes after care was excellent. The service for the satellite dish is poor. The dish needs resetting regularly and the service response is poor.

I like the building I live in especially for its good location close to tube station, buses and stores in the area.

The development I am renting an apartment in is kind of newer block of flats with the long balcony outside. It is a very big building, with three or even four separate entrances. Each entrance requires a key with a chip so you could think it is safe. however, it is located in a heart of Brixton and there are a lot of homeless people trying to find a warmer spot inside the building, mostly during the winter. this is not a big issue for me though as each two apartments have separate entrance with locking doors. Apartments in the building are in alright size. I am currently living in three rooms apartment with sharing kitchen, bathroom and separate toilet. The apartment’s condition is not the best, but it is only agencie’s fault. I like the building I live in especially for its good location close to tube station, buses and stores in the area.

I like the location is close to all I need

I wish I’d known that the agency is the worst agency in London
