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.

Our flat is a great size and spec (although I think our 750sq/ft 1 bed is one of very few) and the terrace leading onto Sutcliffe park really sets the property apart from any others we have seen. The bad news starts when you get into services and facilities. To begin - it’s very important you understand the ‘community heat’ programme you’re signing up to. You cannot change supplier and you are considered a commercial customer meaning recent price caps simply do not apply to you. All of this means that Eon can charge pretty much whatever they like and there’s nothing you can do about it. Our bills have been astronomical. Speaking of bills - service charges… I have never seen anything like it…. Reading over the bi-annual invoice is equal measures terrifying and hilarious. Thousands of pounds spent with very little to show for it. You could argue a few points such as a (tiny) on-site gym and concierge but it simply doesn’t add up. We are talking around £4.5k/y including one space in the car park for our 1 bed - I dread to think how much 2/3 bed owners are paying. The security around the development is also pretty slack - entry doors to buildings are regularly faulty and the car parks are not patrolled enough. Unfortunately we were burgled last year and thought we may be able to use evidence collected by the security cameras around the building. All of the cameras were as old as the building itself (10 years) and were either pointing in the wrong direction, faulty or too poor quality to be of any use. Of course this is a specific example but I feel it shines a light on the general attitude taken to security here.

Building management is good and communication is quite frequent. The residents gym is well equipped and is open 24/7. I didn't expect there to be daily markets when I moved in which was a nice addition. Also there is an abundance of green space around the development.

The design is good and some of the facilities are absolutely useful but some of the facilities are not, it is very personal. The sound proof of the window is amazing, not too noisy even close to a construction site. The sink in bathroom is too small and close to the mirror, water spill all over the floor after washing my face. Similar problem happen to the bath tub, the glass cannot stop all the shower water from spreading on the floor. The management team is just ok I am not too satisfy to be honest.

The overall quality is good. But the development layout design can be improved. For my flat, there is a big storage room and a big cloth hanging place but the bedroom is quite small. And the floor in the toilet is not easily to be cleaned. Can choose some easily cleaned floor material.

- strong advice Berkeley change lifts provider. It is a new built but the life goes out of service far too often - distance between building are kinda not far enough, maybe it meets regulatory requirements but definitely not at a comfortable enough distance
