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 flats have a great layout with very decent room sizes for the price and massive storage (which is a rare find in new builds!) The building generally feels very sturdy and is pretty soundproof with no noticeable issues like broken lifts or water supply not working, which I have experienced elsewhere. The building managers and maintenance staff are very aware of what happens in the building, easy to contact and friendly. One of the big reasons I chose to live here was the great impression left on me by the buiding manager at the time that I visited the flat. Overall, my flatmate and I feel lucky to live in such an attrctive , well furnished and central flat for the price we're paying.

Upkeep of grounds generally poor . Poor design of ground level allowing weeds to grow and no help for tenants to remove these. Looks a little scruffy sometimes, generally speaking

The one-bedroom flat I live in is beautiful and practical. Staff at Embankment are polite and helpful, no matter the issue. In terms of furniture, I would have like to have had a full-size sofa and larger fridge/freezer, similar to the two-bedroom apartments. I have always felt safe at Embankment and also feel that my car is safe being parked here. The biggest factor which would tempt me to look for somewhere else to live would be the noise from the road. However, this is expected from a city centre apartment.

It is a new building, with new modern furniture. The large windows give a sense of perspective although the flat is not very big. The windows are double glazed and when shut, it is very quiet despite the train that passes nearby. The staff is very friendly and professional. Security is pretty good (double entry code, and concierge although not 24/7), and there is parking in the residence. Unfortunately the window blinds are not blackout, so in the summer it is a bit difficult to sleep and you have to wake up pretty early, unless you find your own arrangement for this. Furthermore, although the bathroom is nice, modern and quite large, the bath is way too small, and an average body cannot be totally submerged.
