About The Hyde Group

The neighbourhood and the location of this development are excellent. The Christs Hospital train station is just a few minutes walk, very convenient to commute between London and here. All the houses around this development are belonged to Christs Hospital schools, mostly are their teachers and staff live here, making this area quiet and safe. The countryside environment makes you feel comfortable and relaxed all the time. The only bad side is some tractors are always running along the road, they are huge and you have to wait or stop when they pass by.

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

If we do a surveying report before we move in, I think we would consider somewhere else to buy instead of buying here.

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

Only responded a few. Like the garden company to do the lawn maintenance with us, they work a little every time when they visit, but we need to pay higher cost. The dead plants on the common area have never removed and replaced with some fresh ones.

Angel high street is five minutes away which I would say is the only positive. Would not say the area is safe during the evenings, lots of ambient shouting with drunk people and youths around the area.

I wish I knew about the immediate area of the development better, would have not moved in if I knew about this area.

When we moved in, because we moved in just as the apartment was finishing we were told a lot of the works would be done by March and still aren’t finished even though it’s nearly August.
Also the service charge wasn’t decided when we moved in so a little confusion around that.

Why did you choose this development:

Location and cost were the main factors as my sister lives very close.

I’ve lived here for a while and I haven’t met any of my neighbors and all of them keep themselves to themselves really. The separation of the 3 flats each row doesn’t help.

At first when I moved out, the Hyde would organize regular meetings with the residents and I made aware that we had mice and they didn’t help at all! They haven’t been keeping up with us residents at all anymore honestly.

Also there are supposed to be caretakers frequently and I’ve never seen one! They don’t look after the building very well at all.

I like the area a lot I’ve lived here for a long time so I’m really used to it.
The amount of green space is lovely and the mix of people and diversity in the area is great.
The southwark council have also done free swimming and gym in the area and I love that!
I also love the libraries close by and the bridge theatre. So the mix of all this is great. I can’t say I dislike anything honestly.

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

The council tax it’s way too extravagant for what you get! I regret leaving southwark council property to come here!
