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 press is beautiful, however was clearly done in a rush, had a range of leaks, broken job due to being put in wrong. The building management and maintenance property management is awful, the are impossible to get a hold of and when you finally do they just pass it off to someone else constantly. They also make a lot of false promises and nothing ever gets done.

The building is always clean and tidy. I regularly see the cleaner sweeping or hoovering. There are some problems with bin rotation meaning it is hard to access empty bins. It was also unclear where post is stored initially and there are still issues with the delivery of parcels. Building maintenance is good and they have came to view / resolve any reported issues. I have had some problems with building management as they have never answered the phone when I call.

The building itself is of amazing quality and any friends and family that visited are extremely impressed by the design/ the foyer/exposed brick. The downsides of the development are the lack of parking, the illegitimate use of properties for short stay rentals, the lack of recycling and the inactive and difficult to reach building manager

The Press is a beautifully designed building converted from an old Printing press factory. The interior is given a very modern style incorporated into the brickwork of the old building seamlessly, to provide a unique bit of character. The flats are also very well styled and built with the likes of beautiful wooden beams and pipe work, to give it that homely, and modern feeling and a to keep some personality in the building. The facilities are OK, with a digi-locked bike shed and parcel room, and double access to the building from either end. However there isn’t much more than that. The intercom system is a modern style using an App on your smartphone to connect to either entrance via video and audio. Although, this has been quite faulty for myself, often not ringing, disconnecting, or not working as intended.

Property management is terrible, one of the worst services I've ever seen. We've been stolen our bike store three times. The building used to be clean and tidy, now it is an open air garbage bin. Common area carpets are dusty with stains, floors dirty. Bin store is a disaster . Doors never work properly, intercom doesn't work for a long time (more than a month). There are illegal Airbnb in the building that makes illegal parties and the participants scream, shout and hit doors at 4am. Property management is the worst
Manager response
Hi Leandro I am so sorry to hear that you don't feel we have supported you through this. As a management team, we care about our facilities and residents and last week held a call with all Press residents to listen to your frustrations and help support the site to make it feel more secure for you. As a result of the call, we have agreed an action plan which will be send over to all residents shortly. We are pleased that the intercom issue has now been resolved, we did react to this immediately and the contractor had to attend several times to fact find, eventually he was able to resolve this and appreciate this took a few weeks. I would appreciate if you could send an email in relation to the dusty carpets so we can look into this, Wendy our housekeeper is on site daily and receives some really positive feedback from residents. We will of course look into the bin situation as from the pictures, this is not how the bin store should look, I will ensure we review this immediately. We hope you can enjoy living at press and that we can overcome your frustrations. We would be happy to speak with you personally on any of the above issues. Please feel free to get in touch.
