Greenland Place, SE8

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Our development is in an upcoming area, near docks, a short walk from Canada Water and Surrey Quays Jubilee and Overground stations. Great. The issue is L&Q who manage, well "manage", our development. Absolute cowboys who cannot be trusted.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I had known how totally unprofessional and basically dangerous L&Q is as an organisation.

What is the best feature of your home:

The design of my flat is very pleasing. The management is appalling.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The development is fantastic, with a selection of excellent restaurants and cafés, as well as a great nail bar, salon, yoga studio etc. The local area is not great (no good restaurants, limited travel connections) but is slowly improving.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

This is not something that has been managed very well. There have been issues with internet, heating etc that have not been managed swiftly.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Check the layout and ask for upgrades. We have a superb view of the Shard from our bedroom -- would have been great if the living room had been placed there.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Like-local shops and cafes, very quiet and family friendly Dislike- far from station

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

They generally take a long time to respond and send someone out. We have to call a few times.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The neighbors are generally friendly and quiet.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Plenty of shops, big and small (Lidl, Tesco local and metro, co-op), nice restaurants, amazing walks around the docks, the Thames and the nearby parks. the city, central London and Canary Wharf are 15-30 min away by tube. There are a few nurseries nearby as well as good schools. Security wise I’ve heard people complain. I’ve never had problems myself but I’ve heard from neighbours reports of snatched phones, stolen balcony property etc.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The nurseries are quite expensive. But we generally had little knowledge about that lol

What is the best feature of your home:

The community and the local amenities are great for people looking for a calm and family friendly neighbourhood

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

There are a few local restaurants and cafe's in the area that are quite decent but it really is a more residential area. The key benefit of living here is easy access to the overground and multiple bus lines to get into central london. Being so close to surrey quays docklands and the thames river gives the opportunity for many beautiful walks in the area.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The apartment doesn't use gas it uses 'heat' energy linked to Eon, which can't be changed. It is a lot more expensive.

What is the best feature of your home:

The spacious living room, with a balcony overlooking the communal garden area.
