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.

Nice house with loads of facilities, a lot natural light, and always super quiet, stays warm in winter and cold and fresh on summer, the rooms are spacious and you have a good amount of storage space, cycling facilities, park for the kids, recycling unit, and even space to plant and grow what you want.

Design was good. It always feels light and airy inside. Sun comes in especially in the living room. So we use less lights. Very quiet even though were at the back of a retail park. Although you can hear the trucks collecting bin during early mornings. Outside is being maintained accordingly. It takes time for them to fix stuff but its done eventually.

Design of the house is good. Space is utilised. I dont hear the neighbors from inside the house. Balcony is quite wide so we can still do a lot of things there especially in the summer. We have privacy as the way it is designed we are not facing any neighbours directly

Overall, the development is a first class piece of engineering. Lovely, modern and spacious flats (for London anyway!) with easy access and are very modern. Facilities are good on the whole with a children’s play area, lift and spacious balcony. Although the interior is a great design, we found the finish on the disappointing, with several scuffs and chips in areas, as well as a broken air fan. Also as BBC’s Watchdog has pointed out, it’s a deep shame that Clarion raise prices such as ground rent, general rent and service charge rather extortionately (e.g ground rent has risen by a third in a year!) and service charge has also risen without much proof of them actually doing anything. We had a broken lift for over a month and some areas of the communal space is still shoddy. Individual charges has also been broken down by Clarion and have identified some rather bizzare charges, I.E £6 a month for TV aerial maintenance, so with all flats that’s over £200 a month to keep a TV aerial intact? Seems suspicious. So be wary.
