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

The building is very smart designed, and has great choice of amenities. There are a few shops nearby and a few dlr stations walkable distance away. Local residents are friendly and don't cause any inconvenience. Building has good dound proof windows and walls.

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

Team has been really fast and helpful so far. Lia from reception usually can resolve the issue on the spot if she is in the building.

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

We wish we knew before how humane and helpful building managment is, after many years struggling with rough landlords and overpriced houses we would have moved here sooner.

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

Living at Chatham Waters is an ideal location for lots of reasons . It is very close to train stations and also a quick walk to Chatham Dockside . The noise here is limited from my personal experience and always feels like a safe place . The Mast and rigging is a nice pub / restaurant and is just a quick walk away . In addition to this you have Asda and lidl as local food stores to shop from

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

Someone has been out to fix any problem i’ve had very quickly

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

This is a very relaxed and calm place to live , drama free

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

I enjoyed the quiet neighbourhood. Especially the scenery. This is a brutalist dream area. Impressive and calm.

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

Most of the time yes. Anything that required maintenance was a bit slow but anything else was answered to in time.

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

Not sure if there is anything. I was aware of the building and the area

Riverstone Heights, E3

Oct 2026

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

Riverstone Heights is very convenient for me as I work at 3 Mills Studios right behind the development. It's really close to multiple transport links, the Tube, DLR and excellent bus links to central, Stratford and Canary Wharf. Having the large Tesco right next door is also fantastic!

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

Very promptly. I don't think I've ever had an issue last longer that a day or two.

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

I didn't know that the advertised 'gym partnership' was not for the gym next door, but one further away on Stratford.

The landlord provides a home in a convenient location, making it easier to access local shops, services and transport. Good communication and prompt assistance with any concerns would make the overall renting experience even better.

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

The area is convenient and well connected, with shops, supermarkets, restaurants and other essential services nearby. Public transport makes it easy to travel around London, and there are also open spaces where residents can relax. The area is generally practical for everyday living. However, traffic can sometimes be noisy, and parking may be limited. Overall, it is a convenient place to live, with good access to local amenities and transport.

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

Lia, one of the building management team members, has been very helpful and supportive. I appreciate her kindness, professionalism and willingness to assist residents whenever needed. Her positive attitude makes a real difference and helps create a welcoming environment for everyone living in the development.

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

Building management should ensure that residents' concerns are taken seriously and that any maintenance issues are addressed as quickly as possible. Clear communication and regular updates help residents feel supported.
