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

Train tickets very expensive, high level of antisocial behavior. The only local shop is Sainsbury . Other shops are in deep Croydon which is not a safe area especially at night.

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

There are lots of issues in the building but when you report it they won’t deal with it and they will treat you as a nuisance.

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

That this place is soo poorly managed and that there is such a high level of antisocial behavior.

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

The location is excellent, getting to and from East Croydon is very easy and the building is right opposite the station.

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

No response even after reaching out privately to solve issues amicably

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

I wish I had known that the 'luxury' experience requires residents to be their own advocates. Security: Don't just trust the standard key card access; many of us have had to invest in secondary door locks for peace of mind. Due Diligence: If you are a light sleeper, test the noise levels of the lifts and appliances before committing to a unit. Paper Trails: Be extremely thorough with documenting your move-in and move-out dates, as administrative errors on final billing statements can be a real headache.

My commute to work in London is actually quicker than when I lived in London and you’re literally a few seconds walk to the station. Easy access to Gatwick. A lot of airport hotels but that means lots of options for places to eat as well.

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

Always fixed within 24 hours - although they do have the odd day in the winter when the boilers break.

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

It would be handy to know and see the view of the room you’ll move into - I love mine but I didn’t know what it was until I moved in as only saw show apartments.

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

Plenty of shops, 15 minutes from London Bridge , box park is very close and great for evening events

No had any problems staff has been very helpful and kind

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

Living in my local area has its pros and cons. On the positive side, there's a good range of local shops, restaurants, and cafes, with a mix of independent and chain options. The open spaces nearby, including parks and walking trails, are a real bonus—well-kept and ideal for relaxing or exercising. Transport links are generally reliable, with buses and trains running regularly, although services can be delayed during peak times or weekends

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

The building management has responded quickly and professionally to any issues I've raised, usually resolving them without delays.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how limited the on-street parking can be, especially during evenings and weekends—it fills up quickly.
