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 location of the development is good, right opposite Bartlett Park in a developing area close to the Canary Wharf offices (thus good investment). The public transport connections are decent, though it takes 7min to Langdon Park DLR (not great for connections) or 15min to Westferry DLR and 20min to Canary Wharf or Mile End tube stations. The design of the development is modern and functional. The only minus is the management company and the very high service charges which are not split fairly based on the flat you own (sq feet) but split only on the number of flats (i.e. a 3-bedroom flat pays the same as a 1-bedroom one).

The building is very well designed and looks lovely from the outside and when entering the property, it feels very secure. It would nice to have a few more amenities in the building such as a gym. The property is close by to the community park which is perfect for families.

The development is designed with all flats facing an inner courtyard area that has a garage, waste disposal, and children's play areas. It is designed to be a low-frills development with no gym or concierge and the service charge reflects that.

Pros: Spacious & modern flats, nicely finished, well insulated. Communal garden Residents that are getting involved in addressing and fixing potential issues Fast response to warranty issues raised about the flat No significant structural issues Nice to really nice views depending on the side of the complex Easy to make upgrades in the flat (extra furnishing of the kitchen, replacing carpets or floors etc) Cons: Snags in communal areas waiting to be fixed The developer and management company are not moving as fast to fix the snags in the communal area, as they do it for individual flats Could be cleaner Some security issues, in course of being fixed The management company is not too efficient Not perfect, but fixable
