Trinity Walk, SE18

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

If you like bars and good restaurants then this area might not be for you. Yea there are plenty of fast food chains but not much more.

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

I wish I had investigated the area more, very little has improved since the Liz Line opened

What is the best feature of your home:

The kitchen in our particular flat is fairly large and light.

The poor performance and poor customer service of the Facilities/Property Management company (Pinnacle) is the biggest issue for us, and for most other residents we know. This has consistently been the case since we moved here in 2019. Lovell must take some of the blame in this respect, for entrusting estate management to such a poor agent.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Great transport links by bus, train, DLR and now Elizabeth line. Very large Tesco down the road is super convenient, also now houses a B&Q outlet. Lots of other very useful stores in the immediate area, either in Woolwich town centre or in the Powis Street area, just slightly further down.

Decent selection of bars, pubs and restaurants – the more upmarket ones are located in the Royal Arsenal development though. The majority of the Trinity Walk development is off the main road, so not too much traffic noise or direct pollution. Some anti-social behaviour in the areas nearest to the main roads (e.g. noisy/drunk passers by), but no real crime observed in or around the estate so far, thankfully. Woolwich town centre has seen some incidents though, unfortunately.

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

It would have been useful if we were given the details of key individuals in the estate management company, not just the generic customer service numbers and email addresses. Also would have been good if we were given information about the Trinity Walk Residents Association, and how we could feed into that. All these things we had to find out either by chance, or by asking around and around.

What is the best feature of your home:

The particular desing feature that we enjoy the most is the communal courtyard that our back patio is connected to – this provides residents with a nice shared outdoor space, and naturally encourages interaction, especially in the spring/summer months

Property management however isn’t the best. After the first 2 years even if you have wear and tear issues from the building itself, management will not help.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

No parking available.
Any can access the bike shed (few stolen over the years).

Transport links are great and was a plus in buying in this neighbourhood.

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

Wish I new how hard it would be to find parking.
And that we can’t move from SSE who have charged an extortionate daily charge fee

What is the best feature of your home:

Best feature may be the large storage room for a 1 bedroom or the balcony.
Worst feature: Jack and Jill bathroom in a one bedroom.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The development is perfect for transport as you’re a short walk from the Elizabeth line, DLR, National Rail and Ferry service. The development is also close by to large supermarkets and smaller conscience stores. There’re also a highstreet close by as well as local gyms and doctors.

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

It would’ve been good to know more about the surrounding area. Areas to talk walks etc.

What is the best feature of your home:

Location is perfect for easy access to the rest of London. The flat is a nice size and the storage is the best I’ve ever seen in a new build development.

The flats are great sizes for £ psqm and are built to a high quality. The balconies can be bigger than many others, which is lovely post Pandemic. The concierge offers good services and all within a reasonable management fee.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The local area is great, and I must say, underrated. We are near 3 incredible transports links, which gives options to get to London through different means – great when strikes. The parks, Common and Barracks field are amazing for dogs and walks, haven in SE London. Shops are great, parking OK.

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

The parking situation was somewhat confusing and could be handled better.

What is the best feature of your home:

The extra storage space that over flats / developers do not offer

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Generally it is an area that is developing however the baptist church next to the development is often poorly kept and littering is an issue

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

Although at the end ou building has received ews1 certification, I would have appreciated knowing that this was still not granted on the time of exchanging contracts

What is the best feature of your home:

I like the fact that it is spacious and bright with a nice squared cut of the floornplan

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Local area is fantastic. close to the Elizabeth line, DLR and southeastern, it is quite easy to get out and about London.
You have Woolwich works in the area, great, for a social night out be it comedy or music.
parking availability is extremely low.

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

I wish I had fully understood what it meant to stick with SSE as the heat provider. The avg I pay for daily charge fee (even when not in use) is ridiculous and we can’t move to a different provider.
Additionally, having access to parking around the development is extremely difficult.

What is the best feature of your home:

best feature would be being on the top floor, as well as the storage space for a 1 bedroom.

Can be daunting leaving curtains open because people can see in, would’ve been great to have reflective windows. The bathroom doesn’t have cupboards to put bathroom products in, however, that can be resolved but buying little baskets. You can hear noise from neighbours if they have a baby or plays an instrument. But other than that it is a lovely flat, has great transportation links, supermarkets within walking distance, and the design is modern.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

There is a range of supermarkets close by, there isn’t a lot of takeaways nearby but I’m happy with that as I don’t get takeaways often. The DLR, train station and the Elizabeth line are close by. The bin collection doesn’t sometimes come often and the rubbish piles until they do come and collect. No traffic noise and there are parks nearby.

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

Wish I knew how hot this flat gets. It’s nice during the winter because you don’t need to put the heating on at all. But if you have money defiantly invest in air conditioning.

What is the best feature of your home:

The kitchen is nice and that transportation links is great

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Very limited facilities in the area, unless you like Greggs and a chronically understaffed Tesco shop

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

The management charge a fortune for seemingly little benefits

What is the best feature of your home:

The kitchen is spacious in our flat but mostly due to us installing extra cupboards at our own cost.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Close to the new Elizabeth line which adds another good mode of transport. A few restaurants in the immediate vicinity, a good events venue nearby.

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

I wish I knew how often our development may get targeted by criminals as some facilities are now unusable because of this.

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

They have and are usually prompt which is helpful. However they do assume that you can easily take time off or work from home as they can only come during the week.
