About Taylor Wimpey Central London

When we moved in a few years ago, we (and everyone else in the building) repeatedly experienced issues with access to hot water which was not expected given the modern building and facilities. There was also a problem with the gym (whereby adequate sound proofing wasn’t considered in the initial design) which in the long run meant that the flats next door complained about the sound. This resulted in the gym being closed for a considerable amount of time and was eventually moved to a smaller section of the development with no wifi. Overall the staff at the concierge have been lovely with the exception of one staff member verbally abusing me whilst I had my baby strapped onto me. I did raise a complaint which was acknowledged but it did make my time at the flat very uncomfortable whilst he was employed.

Design from the exterior is average, however interior design is very modern and clean. Roof terrace is brilliant, fantastic views from the terrace. Unfortunately opening hours of terrace is during concierge operating hours only, limited access on weekends. Concierge very attentive and helpful, quick to contact contractors for repairs and issues. Unfortunately poorly managed communal bin areas, no regular bin collections so it can become quite overfilled. Great soundproofing, have not heard any noise disturbance from neighbours.

We’ve lived in battersea for seven years and are thrilled to be able to stay locally with a shared ownership property. However, we’re made to feel like second class citizens all the time no being able to use the gym, not having access to the concierge and even being completely
Missed out for carpet cleaning. It’s immoral and wrong. We pay service charge too and in two years we’ve had our windows cleaned twice.

Floor-to-ceiling windows let a significant amount of light into the properties and aesthetically look great. Internally the build quality is good and in line with expectations for a new build property.
The external spaces adjacent to each building, which are communally accessible have not been well designed (many people have been walking up and down the greenway bank, causing damage), there is a large area of paving that doesn’t look great/work well with traffic entering the development and the external finish in some parts does not align well with the original concept drawings/models.
Haven’t had any issues with building and property management.
