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.

Overall Blackwall Reach is a lovely development with very spacious flats and with the potential of improvements in the area. The management of the buildings is good, not great and designs are very nice. Sometimes, Management takes way too long to short out issues. For example, there has been a problem with one of the bins (completely broken) for the past 2 months and hasn't been fixed yet.

The design of both 1 and 2 bedroom apartments is superb. The windows allow in loads of light as they are all floor to ceiling. The integrated kitchen area is extremely neat and the high ceilings allow loads of book storage space which I adore. The management company are quite good although small repairs seem to take absolutely ages. As an example, many of us have had no tv aerial reception for over 2 months. There is no COVID to blame for excessively long delays. Some of my neighbours have had issues with shower drainage and that has gone on for over 1 year!!!

Building is good. People living inside the building is civilized and friendly. However in my areas the DRL is very close. So it might be little bit noisy at night when Train pass by. In general, the place was good and tidy. My apartment designing is very casual.

Good - location Bad - extremely poor execution, had cabinets falling off in the toilets, I have got bursted pipes in week 1, waited for 2 weeks for someone to attend. Had rubbish overflow until today, management didn’t reply to my emails after 6 chases and more than 3 months, had lifts locking people in, and broke down every other week, took management for than 6 months to locate someone to have a meeting. Avoid if you can, too late for me

Nice design with lots of light. Good quality furniture and white goods. Increasing amount of local shops onsite, e.g. coffee and drycleaners. Looking forward to more of those post-pandemic! Lots of issues with the council regarding rubbish collection. Development could benefit from more amenities, e.g. gym, more cornershop/food places, esp. With WFH likely to continue
