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.

Recently completed in 2019, the site is close to Upton Park tube station.

The building has wonderful facilities which are accessible almost all the time, the building was designed very well. Management is kind and supportive. However the Lettings agency that manages the business can be quite unprofessional taking months to get back to you.

Good things: gym, price (check if it’s lowest in this zone), Upton Park (District Line) station is not far. Bad things: constant hot water issues, often you caught in a cold shower and there are no announcements what happened. The issue is permanent and here for 2 years. All flats have underfloor heating and it can be annoying as everything on the floor gets hot. In the bedroom the hottest area is under the bed, so no use for the heating or you should spend a lot to stay warm. Unpleasant smell in bathrooms… It seems ventilation or canalization don’t work as they should.

Having now left the property I can only thank the team at The Forge for their services. The house was very spacious and had quality appliances( Smeg). Very friendly management and great properties with secured parking. The location is close to the tube and eventhough not in a great area the neighbours are really nice. Lots of shops nearby as well. Would definitely rent here again.

The design of the building is amazing in my opinion. Each flat had been designed to make the best use of the space, views and natural light. I love waking up to my bright airy flat every day. The gym, reception and communal spaces are clean, fresh and modern. The free gym is an amazing perk and the staff here are lovely and always so helpful.
