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.

I think the design is interesting, functional and safe but they didn't quite finish off the building and the carpets could definitely do with being changed. The outside area of the complex is great and was perfect during lockdown as it felt like our own personal park. We are lucky enough to look out on the pond/lake and seeing the ducks, annual heron and even the odd otter has been delightful. The apartments themselves are basic and allow you to put your spin on the place quite easily which we liked. The management company are useless (that is probably still being too kind) but the staff that work in the grounds are really nice and polite and try help as much as they can.

Apartments are nice and open, kitchen/living area has huge floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lake, bedroom the same. Nice kitchen facilities and bathroom has a very large shower. Range of bus routes going into the centre is convenient. Also has a gym on site.

Nice design, good location! Very peaceful atmosphere, especially overlooking the lake. Parking is beneath the building which is usually safe and secure when the gates are working and there is an on-site gym with pretty much everything you need. It’s a very picturesque development in the summer too

The apartments are very stylish and modern however you can tell that they were not finished to the standard that they should be, its as if they have been rushed and no attention to detail has been given. I am yet to report the issues with our apartment due to the current situation, for example we have plug sockets not properly fitted to the walls, the tiles in the bathroom are grouted in very poorly and the paint job throughout the apartment is extremely poor (you have see streaks when looking at it from a certain angle). The location of a lot of the plug sockets are also not in ideal locations, for example all the plugs in the kitchen are in one place and therefore its extremely hard to have appliances out, without them being in the way of each other. The aerial sockets in the bedrooms are also not in the correct locations for the way the room is designed. The community at lakeshore/copper is excellent, they are so friendly and there is always someone able to give advice and help each other out. The apartments would be excellent if only there was more effort put into the finishing touches of the apartments, with regards to the issues I mentioned above.

I live in penthouse which was planned quite good. Only issue I had with a space for washing machine. Besides that I really like view from balcony and bedroom sizes are good. Kitchen has enough cupboards to store all equipment but I would add more drawers because they are very practical.
