Modern apartment with the industrial red bricks and graffiti design. Maintenance can usually be arranged within few working days. Front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. Especially Jadine deserves a compliment from how she reacted to my emergency in a late evening (my cat went missing!) and showed her caring by checking up the floor & escalating quickly for us.

Love the design, nice interior and great facilities (although was sold that they would be much more exclusive than they are I.e. only available to 3 buildings not the whole development of 10+). Staff in the building very friendly and helpful all of the time
Manager response
Hi Joel, Thank you for your positive review and great to hear how you have found the team to be friendly and quick to respond to your maintenance requests. We apologise if you weren't made aware of the number of buildings accessing the facilities during your viewing. For reassurance, the developers take into account the number of residents alongside the likely resident usage for the amenity spaces provided. Really glad you have been able to make good use of these whilst living at New Acres. Please do continue to reach out to the team for anything you might need assistance with. Kind regards, The New Acres Team

Beautiful design, modern, well laid out, good attention to detail, I especially love the living rooms downstairs that can be booked out. Gym is excellent, pool looks first class. I would like to give a special mention to Luna who showed me round before I decided to rent, and handled my initial induction. Luna has been kind, attentive and knowledgable and made me feel comfortable and welcome. She is a great face to the company.

Design and facilities are great but it is way over capacity in residents for one gym and one pool

The design and facilities are great and very modern however I was disappointed to find out that there was only one gym and pool facilitiy to be built for +10 towers and on top of that the FOUNDRY members are given access to the same facilities as the residents which is extremely unfair especially when it is already at capacity. I believe they have marketed this development deceivingly and should there fore lower the prices. I also think the facilities management team need to be a bit more organised and respectful of the residents home. I have encountered numerous of times the team enter apartments without warning as if it were hotel rooms which is highly invasive and unprofessional, especially for females who may take this the wrong way.
Manager response
Hi AC, Thank you for your review and glad you find the design and facilities to be great. Apologies if the information provided to you regarding the facilities access wasn't clear and appreciate the feedback. In regards to facilities access, FOUNDRY is part of the New Acres Community and as per the comms to residents they have off-peak and limited access rights which will be monitored to manage capacity and ensure no impact to residents. As much as we can't fully deter anti-social behavior, we do now have security on site as well to assist further with this. The New Acres Team will contact residents in advance if access required for any general maintenance but happy to discuss this further and also re your slow responses, so please do reach out to me at gm@newacreswandsworth.com so we can discuss. Kind regards, Emily and The New Acres Team

Pleasant and comfortable, with a number of random issues preventing it from being amazing

Overall, the development is amazingly comfortable and pleasant to look at. Pluses: + The design is good, I like how calm and sharp it is. You're also able to modify it based on your needs after approval from the property management. + The kitchen is quite big, there is a good number of shelves for everyone who loves sorting stuff. Having a dishwasher is also a big plus (although it took me much time to find the valve controlling the water flow to make it work, it wasn't that obvious). + There are good "smart" heaters with scheduling, which is convenient in winter (although it takes time to understand how to set it up, and, as I heard, it was an issue for the contractors as well). + Overall quality of the apartments and what they install is really good. + It's a bit annoying to get downstairs every time you have a delivery because of the second protection door on the ground floor, but it helps feel safe in the building, so I'd say that it's a plus. + The team is wonderful! Sometimes your inquiries can be missed (it happens with everyone, come on), but in most cases, they are proactive in notifying you about anything or offering their help. + When I moved in winter, I was told that the gym was going to be ready in spring, and so it was. The gym is not big and I feel like it pays too much attention to your arms, offering multiple alternatives for the same muscle groups, while ignoring some of the common machines for legs and core. However, it has a good airflow, and I enjoy working out there! Also great to have it open (since late June) 24/7! + It's great to have a postroom (even if it's not in your building). You can continue being away, working in the office, while concierges take care of your deliveries, leaving the packages in a safe place. Saved me many times! + They clean your windows (not the big ones on your balcony, it would be too much to ask... unless?)! + It's pet-friendly, so you always meet different fluffy cuties even if you don't have a pet. + The base internet tariff is free and stable! + Balconies are big and minimalistic in their design. Hope they're safe! + There are bike storages and a number of preparing amenities like small cinema rooms or a dedicated place for growing plants, which is sweet. + I live quite high and don't face the rails. I hear the trains outside as I always have my windows open to some extent, but it's not anyhow disturbing to me, while I thought that it could be worse. Not sure what's the situation for the flats facing the rails. Minuses: - It looks like the communication with contractors (who fix your apartment's issues) is not stable. There were consecutive cases when the contractors just didn't appear, and the management couldn't reach out to them (in the end forgetting about my maintenance request completely...). - It is EXTREMELY hot when the sun is bright and on your side. If you don't use curtains early, it can be surprisingly hot even at 8 am in May, while the outside temperature is around 22. I've experienced 30 degrees with straight sun beams attacking my flat once, and even the contractors who came to visit me quite early in the morning were surprised. It is a common issue with London's buildings, but still surprising that it's a thing for the new ones. Global warming isn't something new and sudden. - There are some small white spots and other stains left after the builders, showing their rush, especially in the bathroom. - Hard water is a nightmare. My pipes, taps, and bathroom accessories just want to be happy. - The bills were indeed too high for the first months. They calibrate and lower the price later, but it really feels like NO single person is using THAT much energy monthly, and Homebox could use their math and stats better. - Chairs in the kitchen are not of the best quality and I don't know what to do with them. I see that the management is active and is trying to connect with people, solving all the issues, and all the already existing pluses are valuable, so I feel comfortable and safe living here.
Manager response
Dear resident, Thank you for taking the time to write the review and all your kind words. The whole team at Bale & Anchor are very much grateful to you for the positive experience you attest to have received at Bale and Anchor. Please be assured that the addressed points of concern have been duly noted and the whole team at Bale & Anchor will keep working diligently to achieve any required improvements to consistently deliver high standard services and differentiated residential experiences to our residential communities. We also took note of your concern regards current service delivery perception on related inconveniences caused by occasional required access for contractors, and we would kindly clarify that this is currently due to the fact that Bale & Anchor is fantastic new build still within the main builder's defect and warranties period and hence why access for contractors on occasion is still required. Despite that, we can confirm that such period will conclude soon and such occasional inconveniences will stop. It is our pleasure to have you in our Bale & Anchor community! Thank you.
