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.

We love the design of the building which looks very elegant and peaceful, as lots of plants around and there’s a pool in front the of the building, which is a nice open space for resting, have a set and walking with pet! Also there are lots of facilities in the building too, like meeting room for work, party room for special events and playroom for the kids.

This isn't the first negative review I've left about Quintain Living, and I've been a multi-year tenant since 2021. The first year was relatively peaceful, and minus the odd issues here and there (i.e. Direct Debits not being implemented; double-charges for things), it was a decent first year. DO NOT RENT HERE. The only "luxury" apartments are the penthouse apartments in Canada Gardens, and I'm pretty sure they've been vacant since I moved in, in 2021...as for marketing the overall development as "luxury living" is another blatant lie: it's modern living, not luxury. 1. Utility Rates: Quintain Living makes claims of being able to save you 56% on energy utilities; this is a blatant lie. Prices have been unreasonably high since April 2023 (my unit rate is 42.6p/kW); despite downward trends in the electricity wholesale market. For context, the average p/kWh in London was 33p. Despite the downward trend, Quintain residents were locked in rates going as high as 45.5p/kWh. 2. As a resident, I have no ability to switch utility suppliers, so have been locked into a monopoly run by Quintain Living and their appointed broker, Amber Energy Solutions, with no visibility of whether a competitive tender process was undertaken. I'm pretty sure my consumer rights are being impacted here...and it's taken me well over 2 years to find out who actually does the energy purchasing. Now when I try to call Amber Energy to find out what their Broker Commission is, all of a sudden nobody is available to take the call. Notwithstanding the extortionate rates, the monthly Standing Charge amounts to about £67 - HOW?!?!?! Furthermore, in this age of digitisation and smart meters; I'm still being billed on Estimated Reads. 3. Now let's outline the Quarterly Reconciliations: every 3-4 months you'll be contact by Quintain Accounts staff telling you of a further £300-£400 that they're going to collect for "over consumption" - HOW ARE THESE BUILDINGS EPC BAND B if I'm paying in excess of £3,520/year on electricity in a building that's marketing as "Efficient". And this is on top of the rent of £2,660/month - FOR A 2 BED IN WEMBLEY!!!! This isn't Chelsea/Kensington or even Canary Wharf...it's an old industrial estate near a stadium...hardly a "luxury" location. 4. Tenancy Renewals: according to the .GOV website, if you have a multi-year tenancy with a Landlord, they should inform you 6 months before the end of your lease as to what the renewal should be; with a decent Landlord possibly increasing rent in-line with CPI (currently hovering around 3.8%). My current multi-year lease expires in July, and I have yet to be contacted about my renewal. I've heard instances of Accounts Staff notifying tenants about a renewal 1 month away, with a 45% increase in rent. My current rent is £2,660/month (when it's not a reconciliation month and they add a further £300-£400 to your Direct Debit); so if that increase was to be applied to my renewal, I would be expected to agree to a rent hike to £3,857 - for a 2-bed apartment IN ZONE 4?!?!?!?!?!

We loved living in the property, but the working from home facilities aren’t great. There are only a couple of common area’s that are free to use and they are very busy. The other ones needs to be reserved and paid for. After one year we decided to leave to move to a more family friendly environment and the move out was not great. It was very hard to communicate with the residents team and we never got a correct checkout inventory, we just had to accept one with completely wrong remark (document was created before the cleaning).

Nice establishment with many built-in amenities like BBQ, WFH space and a huge terrace with amazing view overlooking the stadium. All furnitures are John Lewis and Samsung appliances. Envac system allows you to drop the garbage a few steps away from your doorsteps.
