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.

The layout and design particularly of the car park is poor and the lack of security I.e gated, building management regarding communal areas is well maintained. Poor building management in the property in regards to repairs there Is a long wait this could be improved.

One particular concierge likes to speak to women and intimidate them, if you ever report a repair it takes months and the aftercare team ignore you you have to literally harass them on the daily to get some form of response. The water is never boiling hot so if you like a steaming hot shower or bath, these homes are not for you. The school alarm goes off all the time leaving you unable to sleep and sometimes it will go off all weekend. No parking, so if you want a visitor think again they wont be able to park anywhere. Service charge goes up every year and is ridiculous

I’ve lived here 3 years and i am very happy here. I absolutely love my apartment -and the view itself. You have the school next on the main road and transport bus/train/Uber boat. The design itself is very nice. Property management are good anytime I’ve had a issue it’s been resolved.

Very poor quality material been used. Window very low quality. Finishing is very poor. It's not even a year, Paint is coming out and cracks showing up on the walls. Very poor management. Property prices are too high. Design is ok. Area is safe and secure.

The building spec is okay however they have chosen manufacturers that cost an arm and a leg to get replacement parts from. For example a simple toilet seat you have to get from the manufacturer because it is an awkward shape the cost of the toilet seat is £150!!! Ridiculous honestly the same goes for pretty much everything already installed in the home. The building management is terrible we waited two years just to get our windows washed and two years to have a gym installed that we were promised would be open a few months after moving in. The gym is tiny there are no free weights and the tiny gym is for all the buildings currently being built in fielder quarter which means you will never get time to use the machines unless everyone is sleeping the size of the gym is the size of the concierge which is disgusting for the amount of residents the expect to use it
