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.

There is a conceirge in the building who is very good and knowledge about the development. There are no additional facilities in the development. Overall building management has improved once Block Management took over. Can get noisy at times, but this will depending on where in the building you are living.

There are no facilities in the development itself. No gym, but there is a local one nearby. The service charge is excessive for the service offered. Currently around 4 thousand per year for a 2 bed flat. Can be noisy as at times late in the evening.

Design slightly varies depending the location of your flat. For example my flat may have different location of balcony than others have. But overall its well designed keeping the comfort into consideration. Block Management does the care taking of the building and does a good job in my view. CCTV cameras and Fire Alarm are very well working within the apartment. Garbage management and security is also good.

I am the joint owner of a flat in Ropeworks apartment. Flats in the building are well designed and well maintained. The building also has children nursery in the building premises. There is no parking in this area which is a drawback for people with vehicle. Block Management team is proactive in taking care of the fire alarm, cctv , lift maintenance and garbage management.

I stay in a 2 bhk flat of Ropeworks appartment. It has a good management by block management group. The apartment is secure and block management is quite reachable when needed. Major broadband services like Sky and Hyperoptic is available. Overall a good apartment for a family.
