Very convenient to the east Croydon station, also personally to my work office. Can be a bit noisy of construction work if living on the street side.

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

Once my sink in the bathroom stopped leaking water, they reported quickly to my issue and arranged for someone to come and fix it.

It would be great to have a notification system for any parcel received

Great location near to East Croydon station and with everything you need right on your doorstep. Area was surprisingly quiet and felt safe, even as a lone woman at night.

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

I didn't have any issues with my unit, but staff were always around so I know I could pop down to reception to have a chat if needed.

Tao cafe round the corner is a fantastic place for a coffee and the pizzas at Trickle are amazing!

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

The location is great, 5 mins walk from East Croydon station (side exit), plenty of coffee shop around and fast food, 2 mins walk from Coop and 7-8 mins from Tesco or Sainsbury’s, and tram stop literally in front of the main door. The only issue might be that at night time few homeless are in the building car park.

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

They always promptely replied to any queries or issues and always tried to accomodate the tenant where possible.

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

Should have been more clear the fact that you can give your 1 month notice only at the end of your 6 months contract, even better if this could be a bit more flexible after the first 6 months in. Also did not expect that the laundry prices would go up every couple of months.

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

The Quarters Croydon is an excellent place to live, location and proximity to transport links to Central London and the variously airports in and around London. The noise levels from the main road is manageable when the window is closed, but makes you feel uncomfortable when the weather is warm. The bins are collected on time and the building is kept tidy all the time.

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

Yes, the response in time and get the issue sorted to a satisfactory level.

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

That you have to renew your contract every 6 months, even after living there for years.

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

Very easy access to transport links including trains, trams and buses. Very close to George street, where all the local restaurants and shops are, which is great and very convenient

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

Always respond very quickly and efficiently, with a very easy access even out of office hours

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

The location of the building it’s just great and the building is finished to high standard. Even the windows facing the main road are extremely well insulated
