Housing association flats are made to a different and lesser standard to private flats and are much smaller, however they are cheaper to rent at about £265 a week, however this is very high compared to other housing association properties around London. Having visited a few apartments I’ve noticed they are are often awkwardly shaped with no thought to where television or sofas are going to be placed, however saying that the facilities provided are good, balcony decking, doors and windows, and blinds, ample kitchen cupboard space, underfloor heating, lino instead of carpet which is easier to clean than carpet heated towel rail, bathroom mirror and small utility cupboard to fit in a washer dryer . Of course, fittings such as oven fridge breakfast bar and full height style tiles were not included and bathrooms are decked in plain white tile. There has also been issues of flooding behind the walls in several properties and the apartments get very hot during the summer due to the triple glazing, however the heating rarely gets put on during the winter saving money.
Residents are generally good but sometimes litter has been left in the lift and as HA tenants can’t use concierge facilities parcels are often left in the communal entry area. Sometimes people taking bins out has resulted in smelly liquid being left in the lift and trailing out the door however this is not often. Community is good unlike comments made by private tenants above most residents have got to know each other especially those with children attending st mary’s school downstairs. Balconies also have windows on them which is a good safety feature for those with children and all windows in apartments are lockable. Paragon housing association which manages the flats are hit and miss but often good and problems can also be reported to savills as they still manage the block
A colorful light tribute to the tram lines which once adorned the grounds has been installed in the arch going out onto Queenstown road. Bike store is good.
Children’s play areas are minimal however, a strange raised grass v verge and the area outside of it is touted as a play space however it is also an unofficial road and takeaway motorbikes zoom up and down the development all times of the day and night delivering food which is dangerous. The communal gardens aren’t maintained well when a tree was felled due to strong wings it wasn’t replaced and the space where it once was looks sparce in its absence. Some grasses flowers and bushes would look beautiful but instead there is just plain soil with a scattering of plant life.
The design outside mercer house also turns it into a wind tunnel even in light winds and this should have been taken into account during the design stage, the small trees planted suffer greatly during the winds, it would have been better to plant bigger trees with more bush as aesthetically they look better and can stand the wind more. The other trees on site seem to be a bit bare, and have not taken to their new homes.

The apartment is good quality and spacious. However a big downside is that there is not much natural light – by apartment faces east and by the afternoon/evening it is really dark. The security is good – the development is gated and there is a concierge. The concierge is really great – always friendly and helpful. The noise is fine in terms of other residents – they are generally friendly and respectful – but the surrounding area can get pretty noisy. There have been some issues with the social housing at the bottom end of the development – for example someone there set off a smoke bomb and 6 fire engines had to come. Pets are allowed here but you have to get permission. There is also underground car parking – however this is not for all residents so I would recommend enquiring about this if you need parking. Another issue is that the kitchen is located on the corridor so I have to have the blind down in the kitchen all the time otherwise people can see straight into the apartment. Overall though I would say the apartment is very spacious for developments in this area.

Nice place to live. This is a lovely development, located less than 5 minutes walk from Battersea Park, close to transports and shops. Good building quality, Great sales/customer service. We are very happy with our experience so far.
On the negative side, the gym is currently not open 24h as it was supposed to be. Concierge area might be too small when the development will be fully completed.

Space in the flat is great. It is not too small for being in central. Everything is high spec and modern. It is definitely one of the best flats i have lived in.
We got a 24 hour concierge who helps with everything, which is great.
Building management is also really good and efficient.
An important thing to know is the roof top garden is just for the penthouse, so normal flats cannot access it.
The design is okay but I feel space could have been better distributed. The master bedroom is very large and en-suite, making the other rooms feel quite small in comparison.
