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 building is currently managed by the Camden Council which is not great and the transition could have been smoother. There's still no air conditioning/heating at the reception which is not the best environment for our concierges, which are incredible, to be in.

Where do I even start- we moved to XY Air in July 2021. The apartment looked in really good condition, freshly painted, good amenities and spacious 2 bedroom flat. We were so excited to be here. However, our excitement was so short lived. In August, we stared noticing dampness on the walls in the living room and signs of leak were visible. We contacted our agent, who asked us to contact Camden Repairs directly and thus began the most tiresome months of our lives. After contacting Camden repairs multiple times to flag them about a leakage, we were finally given an appointment to visit the flat in November. By the time it was November, the flat was literally in a derelict condition. The leak had caused all the walls to cave in and flooring started buckling and came off due to the water seeping into it. Finally, in November the plumber fixed the leak however the apartment was in bad condition. We have been trying to contact Camden repairs every single since then to try and have someone replaster the walls and put new flooring but without any luck. While those issues are the biggest, the apartment itself has multiple small issues that are frustrating to deal with. -The windows don’t seal properly allowing loads of flies to come in the apartment. -In summer, the apartment gets tooo hot. -In winter the heating hasn’t been working in one of the rooms and Camden repairs can’t bother fixing it so sent us replacement portable heaters which just aren’t as effective. -The lifts breakdown very often in the building. Overall, the excitement of living in Central London, in such a great location has paled in comparison to the everyday problems we have had to deal with. The only positive here is that the reception staff is super helpful, really friendly and really good with handling all the parcels that come in!

The development is very sleek and modern - particularly the kitchen fittings which are wonderful and highly regarded by my partner who is a professional chef. The building is well-managed by the concierge team who are very friendly and approachable. They are keen to assist you on any queries which have been a tremendous help. Only issue we are experiencing is that BT does not provide good coverage in the building - we were downgraded to 6-20mbps which is a considerable amount given that we were on 60mbps in our previous home. We hope that BT will provide better coverage in the near future. No further comments as we wouldn't change anything about the development itself.

I like the flat. The conceirge is great as are the cleaners etc. The actual management is poor though. Our service charge calculation is often late and wrong and Savills/Camden dont seem to care too much about fixing it. I dont think it's a bad service i just think we pay too much for it.

* The building design is modern and the design of the flats is space efficient. * The view from the south-facing flats is stunning. * The property is properly managed, facilities properly and frequently cleaned. * Waste room is organised and cleaned every day. * Reception team is super friendly and efficient.
