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

Good range of shops/transport links. Don’t drive here so no need for a car parking space. Best thing is the neighbours

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

Tyrone is always here very efficiently. Concerns are always taken seriously and acted on quickly

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

Plans of works etc within the next 1/2/3 years. Can get quite loud, but that’s London

Modern and Convenient, but Quite Expensive

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

The local area is very convenient and generally pleasant to live in. There are supermarkets, shops and restaurants nearby, and public transport connections are good, making it easy to travel around London. The area is also relatively quiet, and there are some nice open spaces nearby.

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

The building management is generally helpful, but the maintenance response can be quite slow. Repairs sometimes take a long time to arrange and complete, so I think the maintenance service could be more efficient.

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

I wish I had known that some maintenance issues can take quite a long time to resolve. The rent is also relatively high, and some of the appliances provided in the flat are not particularly user-friendly. Apart from these points, the development is generally comfortable and convenient to live in.

Union Wharf - Incredible!

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

Greenwich is an amazing area to live in - with close transport links including both Cutty Sark and Greenwich station only a 7 minute walk away, getting into central London is quick and easy. Cutty Sark is a lovely area, bustling with locals and tourists alike, and there is plenty of history to experience in the area - including the Old Royal Naval College, Queen's House, Maritime Museum, Painted Hall, Greenwich Market, Royal Observatory just to name a few. Some local favourite pubs including the newly opened 'The Ship', to the historic Trafalgar Tavern and Cutty Sark Pub are closeby and can't be missed. The area is safe and feels very family friendly, open to all and green with plenty of open spaces and parks!

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

If any issues have arose, for example our fridge broke down, a new one was ready and installed within 24 hours - incredibly fast and efficient and taken seriously.

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

The amazing sense of community and activities that are always on here - organised by the fabulous crew!

Manager response

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

Close to a range of supermarkets and food spots, as well as lots of green space. Surrounded by cycle paths on nearby roads. Great bin service, decent gym, and handy to have a cafe downstairs and on site snacks downstairs.

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

Quick to help with switching wifi, gym induction and inventory issues.

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

Nearby car parking space available for cheaper price than on site .

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

I like that there are free amenity spaces and booking spaces availability. There is a nice convenient cafe attached aswell (even though it isn't the same owner, it could be better prices)....groceries, there is a waitrose very big just less than 5 mins walk. The opposite way there is 2 other express groceries store. Thats good. The building isnt in the center of cutty sark, so not crowded on the roads. There is the Greenwich park close by aswell thats useful for dog owners. There is a small pach of green(gravel really) for dogs. (There could be more grass thats softer for pets paws).

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

The building management has been consistently reliable and professional. I have not experienced any issues during my time here, and communication has always been clear and timely. Maintenance requests, when needed, are handled efficiently. Overall, the service provided has met expectations and contributed to a smooth and hassle-free living experience

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

There is nothing significant I wish I had known before moving in. The experience has been straightforward and met expectations from the start. All key information was provided clearly, and there have been no surprises or issues. Overall, the transition into the property was smooth, and everything has functioned as anticipated.
