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.

Beautiful new apartments with great design and nice new building but very poor building and property management. If the communal areas of the building would be managed better by building management team would be a perfect place to live in the middle of Croydon old town.

Design fine, annoying to let people in as separate locks on entry doors once you are out of the lifted Optivo are abysmal and ruin what could be a great place to live. Lifts constantly broken, parcels stolen regularly due to a broken entry door, rough sleepers and vagrants, bins over flowing, roof terrace closed as it has been condemned. No responses to complaints, issues lasting ages with no fixes. Incredibly poor, even at the low standards we have for property managers.

The property is well designed and insulated. I love the high ceilings which is a rarity in a new build. I cannot hear any of my neighbours (though they may not have moved in yet!!) and the apartments seem to be well spaced out with my own not seeming to share many party walls. I really love the large bathroom which includes a bath and loads of storage behind the mirrors, impressive to have in a studio. The kitchen is great with WM, DW and large FF. However there are only four useable cupboards as one houses the boiler which can make fitting everything in a bit of a squeeze if you have a lot of stuff (like I do!) The prices of the rental properties are unbeatable - you won’t find anything cheaper at this quality of finish! For a studio flat I have loads of room, visitors have been so impressed with the large space I have here. There is a large bike store which is handy, but no concierge or parcel holding facilities. There have been a few snagging issues, with window seals being a bit wonky but property management have arranged to fix these quickly. The lifts also appear to have broken down but again has been fixed relatively quickly.

The development it’s self is very well designed and thought out, The flats are very spacious and has great storage built in. The developer have also thought about how the spaces will be used and have utilised the spaces with that in mind. The added security of needing a key to get past every door and onto each floor is reassuring that it’s safe and secure. The children’s playground and roof terrace is well placed and seems to have been thoughtful of families and young professionals. The building management company are very responsive and although I haven’t needed to have much contact with them, the contact I have had was professional and responses where timely.

Design is quite nice. Back garden is very nice. It’s quite annoying that there is no parking facility. Cosy home. A window inside the bathroom would have been good too. Carpet is ok. East to clean the walls. Very easy to clean around. So far it’s been good
