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.

Generally well designed exterior, with lots of balcony spaces. Lovely central courtyard with trees and water feature. HOWEVER, the execution of the interior building work is AWFUL. We have found countless faults with the way the internal construction was executed (Mount Anvil was the developer). These faults were hidden behind internal decoration, lasting just long enough to go outside of warranty. Examples include: - significant cutting corners for underfloor structure, resulting in unstable floor which has cracked tiles after only a few years. Entire floor structure in our flat needs to be replaced and developer refuses to accept responsibility despite clear photographic evidence of defective installation. They clearly don't care provided it's outside of the 2yr warranty. - bathroom construction has resulted in leaks; for some reason they preferred to use silicone seal to fix fittings to wall rather than conventional screws - balcony planks already need replacing - complex central heating / hot water regularly breaks, resulting in temporary shut off for fixing It's genuinely a nice development, but the poor execution, and lack of accountability from the developer, really takes the shine off.

Location is great. The area is great. Value is good. Great asset to hold or rent. Design is good with a beautiful garden and modern features. Some material choices (white concrete) require regular maintenance (higher service charge) Facilities are good. Concierge and interior garden. The central heating has been a nightmare and very expensive to maintain. Property management is not done by Mount anvil. It is sluggish, based on minimum effort and opaque. Only recently did they (following legal RTM challenge) to improve service delivery. Finishing touches in my unit were hit and miss but the aftercare service by mount anvil was good. The choice of appliances and some design details are Questionable but easily addressed.

The views of the city, with glimpses of The Gherkin and the Walkie Talkie, are stunning. The well kept gated gardens are a beautiful respite from the busy city surrounding the development, keeping it peaceful and quiet. The underground car park is convenient and the concierge gives a safe and protected community environment.
