Wouldn’t actively go to them for help in the future, I got a short clipped response when asking about help with a delivery

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

The availability of the amenities (concierge, gym) - for what we pay in service charge, they are very limited for the cost

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

Transport link is wonderful, especially for those who do not drive. Lot of variety of shops nearby close to Clapham high street. Traffic noise is acceptable. Would be much appreciated if Bin collection is more frequent.

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

Swift response to queries. Good communication with us.

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

The space between flats are narrow, especially from the balcony.

The property is in a great location, surrounded by great transport links, pubs, restaurants and gyms.

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

Yes. When I had an issue with a flickering light in the hall outside my flat it was fixed within a day.

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

There is no building parking so moving into the flat is quite difficult, as you have to park down the street and carry all of your things in.

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

The development is perfectly situated between Clapham Highstreet and Stockwell so we have easy access to all of the restaurants, bars and shops on the main road, can also head down into little Portugal (where there is an awesome Brazilian shop + butcher). Our one complaint would be the lack of available parking when we came to move in, as we had to make use of a bay sectioned off for roadworks. Thankfully this isn't something that will be a problem on an ongoing basis. Fortunately we are on the back of the front section of the building and so don't experience any road noise.

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

Very well. We had a couple of issues shortly after moving in and so reported them on the app. The concierge was always quick to respond and get them fixed.

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

The concierge only works during regular working hours so if you want your parcels you'll need to be in one day that week of go on Saturday morning. The gym in the building costs ~ £50 for an induction. Slightly ridiculous for what is basically 2 benches, some dumbbells up to 20kg and a few pieces of cardio equipment, so unless you feel like shelling out, it is probably not worth considering it part of the set of facilities.
