The Edge, SW9

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

Area is great - transport links 5 mins away, excellent restaurants and shops. Minimal noise for me.

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

They have not - they have failed at every single ask. We asked for the doors to be assessed - they relied on the developers response. We asked for a solution for the bike stores - they again relied on the developers response. Absolutely confident they're in cahoots for their gain and to leaseholder detriment.

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

That Gateway were going to be written into the lease - I and the rest of the building would have considered other solutions.

We’ve lived in Brixton our whole adult lives and we love it here. Amazing restaurants, great transport links and lovely parks within walking distance.

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

Quite quickly and politely, though we haven’t had to raise much.

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

It’s hot in the summer, but it can be noisy when the windows are open. We invested in a quiet fan and some good blinds which keeps us cool.

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

The location is fantastic. Last stop of Victoria line, close to parks and facilities. Brixton market is 50 mt away, if you like cycling you have plenty of option. Love my flat.

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

Property management is absolutely way too expensive and useless. The costs are just too high, the service is embarrassing and the quality of the shared facility is very poor.

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

The flat is very close to the railway, so in the summer it would be noisy.

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

Brixton is the soulful metropolis of South London, a melting pot of cultures. Fantastic transport links, ever increasing range of restaurants. Green space in all directions and a 10 minute journey into central London...fab place to live.

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

The scam on service charge. It is common practise for developers to underestimate this value which residents then present to banks in order to get mortgages. My service charge has doubled in one year.

What is the best feature of your home:

The floor to ceiling windows make a London flat feel much larger than it actually is.

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

Perfect location for any young Londoner. Amazing proximity to tube access, nightlife, bars & restaurants, gyms, unique markets, craft beer breweries, a lido, park and many more. Brixton has everything and the development is close enough to the energy of the area but tucked away on a smaller, more peaceful road. There is a great culture and energy and I see more and more housing being established.

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

Whilst we knew we were buying near a busy road, there is a fair amount of activity on this road. This ranges from a lot of night life and party people to siren cars etc (living near a police depo/hospital) so this is frequent.

What is the best feature of your home:

The floor length windows which bring so much light in including the double doors on the balcony.
