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 design of the development is great! It is spacious and well furnished too which I really appreciate. Property management has been great, with the building managers keeping us informed about anything that may cause disruptions/issues. There are some pretty cool facilities to come (gym, cafe etc) which I am particularly excited for!

The interior design and finish is amazing quality. This made it so easy and smooth to move right in and not have to worry about furniture. Everyone has been friendly and helpful and they gifted us a moving in box which had some lovely food goodies and some moving in essentials which was an extremely nice touch and made us feel welcomed and looked after

Brilliant experience with Fresh Wharf so far. From onboarding to moving in everything was smooth. Enjoying our stay here. Would recommend their services to anyone looking to rent. The staff is very helpful. Money that you're putting in is worth it in my opinion.

Good: not to far from many shops like tesco, asda, Lidl. There are loads of high street shops, food places and markets local too. Barking Station is around 15 mins walk away. Bus stops are very close. Relationship manager is nice and helpful. There’s also a co-op and coffee shop being built as part of the building (allegedly). Negative: was not told that we would be living next to a building site (building another set of flats) Disruptions every day from 7:30am which is hard if you work from home. Given the choice of river or city view but failed to say that river view comes with its very own mosquitos. Littering in the surround areas is terrible. There is a awful sewage smell night. May also be security issues with building entry. For the money we pay I would atleast aspect the litter to be sorted and security to be assured.

Hi KAB, Thank you for reaching out to us on Home Views to give us your feedback. We're sorry to hear you have felt disrupted by the local development work. Unfortunately as our building is just one part of a larger development scheme, there will inevitably be construction work continuing, but we do appreciate that this must be inconvenient when working from home. We also thank you for bringing the litter situation to our attention - we will be sure to feed this back to the relevant teams internally and we hope you see an improvement moving forward. I'm pleased to see that you are happy with the location itself and that our management team has been on hand to help where needed.
