We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

Mice infiltration in the walls , sign of a really poor building isolation by the constructor, which is inacceptable for a 2018 building. floor ladders in the external, which is not so comfortable (but an acceptable choice for most i guess. Good interiors design. Building management lazy at best.

Managing agents are a tad incompetent, we frequently have to go to contractors directly to resolve issues within building. I'm not sure what they do other than send the bills & notices. There is a small court yard at back of building & cycle parking. The apartment is convenient layout & high ceilings help create a feeling of more space & let's in loads of light. Adequate storage space.

Great design the building has been refurbished to a nice standard while it kept the old facade, it combines a lot of historical character with modern interior features. I do love especially the high ceilings throughout in the flat which make the small flats seem somewhat bigger. There’s a nice little community garden but I wish we had balconies. Building management has a bit to improve there’s been plenty of issues which are taking time to be solved with many residents getting frustrated at the lack of response and professionalism.

Arklow Road is a pretty cool place to live. The building loooks great from the outside and the way Pocket have redeveloped the old warehouse ensures people are very impressed when they see where I live! The fact that Pocket are so great at helping Get first time buyers on the London property market is great, but once you’re in the flat, it does feel a little like Pocket can wash their hands of you. A little bit more TLC with their existing owners would go a long way. However, they are a good developer and my flat is great.
