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.

Design is modern and stylish and feels like city living. Although the concierge service is not dedicated to my block they still provide a level of support. We have a large refuse area with multiple bins and recycling bins that are collected by the council. The proposed Gym, Coffee Shop, Convenience store and Co Working space will be a welcome addition. Communal gardens are pleasant and well maintained. L&Q are usually quick to respond to queries. L&Q energy can be confusing and slow to act however they are contactable by phone quickly.

There is a good mix of private sector and social housing with plans for shops and a gym in the future. 🏙️🌇The development is very quiet light bright and very modern. There isn’t a huge amount of parking but this is mainly a problem fir guests as I do not have a car?

Lovely design based around central courtyard meaning there is a white place to go be enjoy the sun. The exterior is all develop ode and maintained nicely. Building is cleaned regularly and kept nice. Work is being done on the riverside walk way which will provide faster access to town and hopefully a lovely place to sit

The development is very modern and well planned with beautiful outdoor spaces. The apartments look out over the river and are set far enough away from the main road that it’s very quiet inside. My apartment is high quality, has an excellent layout and a good amount of space for one or two people. The big windows let in lots of light and the balcony’s are a good size to sit outside. Although there is not loads of storage, the rooms are big enough to put up cupboards and the bedroom can fit a full size double wardrobe. The only thing stopping the facilities being 5 star is there is no concierge service (which would truly be luxury!), and I knocked a star off the Property Management as there is not much communication when repairs are being carried out - although I believe there is a new management service so this may be being arranged. Overall a really fantastic property and way to get on the ladder!

Don't know much about management aspect, however there's as been a few cracks here and there which haven't been fixed, the elevator still as that annoying construction cover which covers the actual beautiful design and mirror, facilities such as bike storage is great. And parking garage which being as it's empty now isn't available for all residents. But overall not bad.
