I like the design of the flat , very modern and neat.All the rooms are very well lit from natural light ,which I love. The access to train,bus , taxi and shopping center is excellent. I have lived for a while, the management has responded well for any issues.

Since my last review, the management of this development has only got worse. Tenants are pressured into locking in multi-year tenancies with large rental increases each year. The monthly rent for a one-bedroom flat is a complete rip-off and this is not even inclusive of utilities. Tenants are forced to buy utilities from a communal supplier, which has standing charges in excess of most other companies' entire bills! Maintenance requests go unanswered for *years* (I was a tenant for four years and had a leaking boiler for roughly half that time). Platform is clearly more concerned with securing new tenants than looking after existing tenants. It is also more concerned with building flashy new developments than maintaining its current residential buildings. Avoid at all costs, or it will cost you a lot.

The facilities are ok but it would have been better to have a gym onsite rather than a lounge as I have lived in platform for almost 2 years and only ever seen the lounge being used a couple of times. The rooftop area could be much better and is due an upgrade. Most seats and tables are broken.

Alright, I was asked to review this so here it goes. The Platform Bracknell building itself is absolutely abysmal. It's advertised as luxury, when it's actually far from it. Due to its location next to the building, we have had frequent break-ins and vandalism from local teens - every time, we're just told to go to the police who don't actually do anything about it. Not to mention, the parcels frequently get stolen and nothing gets done about that - we can't force the delivery drivers to come to our door when they have a choice to drop the parcel downstairs. Platform has a lovely lounge, but unfortunately, local youth are now using it as their own and slowly but surely destroying the place. Furthermore, the lack of flexibility regarding contract release is abysmal. You cannot leave your contract until the 1 year anniversary of your renewal date and you have to give 2 months notice. The one very good thing about the Platform is the community we have built with the neighbours. We help each other out and I have met some amazing friends here that I will cherish for a lifetime.

Too many problems, not worth the cost

Leasing contracts are predatory. Head office does not care for residents. An unhoused person slept in corridor for weeks and nothing seemed to be done. Onsite staff is nice and at least tries their best but head office constantly undermines them. It’s frustrating for all.
