Uncle - Realstar Living

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

The Area is great. Supermarkets, gym, park, pharmacy and tube. All within a 10 minute walk. Very good location

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

The initial reaction is always “you must be doing something wrong”. Eventually they realise not everything is user error and they fix it

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

Noise. On the viewing they told me it was very quiet. My flat faces a football field that is always being used.

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

The building is in a great location, easy access to buses and tubes that take you straight to central. Even better if you have a bike. Supermarkets super close by & nice green spaces such as Battersea park. There is quite a bit of noise generated from the public space outside the property and sometimes this can run longer than the 9pm close time for these public spaces. Safety at late night outside the building’s ground is a concern but I imagine this is a given in a lot of central London-ish areas. I’d recommend keeping your wits about you nonetheless.

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

The building managers during my tenure at Uncle Stockwell have been nothing short of superb at helping to resolve issues I’ve had.

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

The noise from outside the building is mostly unavoidable, so you should decide whether this is something you can deal with & ignore/drown out. The football court will be used consistently any time from 8am through to 10pm, while users may linger beyond that latter time. This is most problematic if you’re facing the pitch on a lower level.

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

Transport links: the best. When you're in the middle of London and you've suddenly had enough, you know you can be home with a cup of tea in 15 minutes because the tube links here are so good. Both Vauxhall (National Rail) and Clapham High St (Overground) are 10 mins' walk or one tube stop away. The only thing I wish I lived closer to is green open space: Clapham Common isn't far but it isn't quite near enough, either.

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

They responding and acting as quick as possible...

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

Really friendly estate, where people smile and say hello once they recognise you.

Yes very promptly, easily accessible staff and quick resolutions

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

All was great, friendly and informative staff that were supportive through moving process

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

Good- the property is well managed by the building management team, I love how kind they are and always here to support with your issues. Bad- the location of Uncle Stockwell is really not ideal. The noise outside drives me crazy.

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

The building maintained and management team is very good and friendly. Highly recommend.

I wish I can understand how loud it is outside the building, the football people are always in the field, in summer they leaves around 10pm everyday.
