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 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.

I loved Copper as it’s a beautiful design however, my apartment and those built at the same time show very poor workmanship all over from wrongly sized front doors to poorly fitted carpet to simple electric issue (simple errors that has the workman fixing the issues, shaking their heads in disbelief). US customer service has been very poor to fix these snags and don’t like to respond to emails or calls. They often want to cut corners where they can which is so disappointing as I was promised a high spec apartment and this was the reason give when it was delayed by 9 months. RMG are also poor, things not being fixed and lots of security and fire hazard issues. I still love my apartment but I’m frustrated about the customer service and feel unsafe here and misled.

Development is stunning in the summer on the lake, could have used the roof as a communal roof terrace or could have added solar panels. Well maintained and a cool building to look at, managements ok but main gate breaks a lot and so anyone could walk in, especially to the underground car park.

It looks lovely but there are downfalls such as poor security (broken gate, poor cctv to catch thieves). It’s a great community spirit though and very neighbourly. People are always happy to help out and we have a Facebook group to speak to other residents about all sorts.
