Pretty development

The management team are not very proactive. Because the flats are so nice, the management are too lazy and don’t fix things. Recently we had 12 hours with no water and had no word from the management team. They are just not good at getting in touch and altogether too inactive. The flat, however is great. It came furnished and there is a lot of stuff in it- so there’s actually not not much room for other stuff!

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

I have questions about the safety of the area. Being near the canal is great and it’s a short walk from St Catherine’s docks. The public transport is great- there are options for buses, the DLR

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

It’s pretty much as expected. One thing that would’ve been helpful is a doorbell or intercoms system. From the third floor it can be difficult to know if visitors or deliveries have arrived.

What is the best feature of your home:

We moved to get down to a low rise development because it has better access and safety. In particular there would be good access for the fire service.

Good location, improvements to be made for residents

Having a concierge system is great but having no intercoms system is not ideal, we have to watch for visitors and deliveries and this can be a real issue. The flat came furnished and the finish was done to a very high standard with great design. However the instruction booklets and user guides for the facilities were very poor. The property management is not very organised. We leave comments via a portal but they often shut it down without checking them or solving the problem.

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

I think the central location is great- it’s close to the station and local transport. It is local to a main supermarket and local retailers as well.

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

I wish I’d have known if we weren’t billed for water until the end of tenancy.

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

The intercom system still isn’t in place and I was told it would only take a few months (it’s been 3 years)

The flat is a decent size (bigger than other places I’ve lived in London). The concierge are super friendly and whenever I have a question they sort it quickly. The same can be said for the for management The main trash area is slightly far from my flat but this is not a huge problem.

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

I like the transport links- the overground is very close so this is great.

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

I did a lot of research so I knew what I was getting into.

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

I really can’t complain about the development here!

Well built development, I feel happy living here

It is a well built development, I feel quite happy living here. There is a lot of light coming into the flat, it is also quite cosy and spacious inside. I live in a studio flat and I feel that the rent is quite pricey for having only one room.

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

It is a well connected and central area. Whitechapel is just around the corner. In terms of transportation, the nearest station is Shadwell which is located just at the end of the street, only 10 minutes walk away from here.

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

The maintenance has hired contractors to do the repairs. If they had their own team, the service would have been faster and more efficient.

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

There is nothing in particular that comes into my mind. I love the location and the fact that this building was a school that has been turned into a residential development.

Well connected area

In terms of the flat itself, my bedroom would have to be my favourite room in my apartment, however I do I chose to live in Sovereign Court because of the location. I really like Wapping as an area as it is quite central, and I enjoy that I can walk to work in only 25-minutes. It is also only a 10-minute walk from St Katherine Docks, which is where I go to the gym and go shopping at Waitrose. This is convenient for me as I try to walk to most places. The building is managed pretty well from what I can tell, I only moved in around 2 weeks ago, but there is an online portal where we can submit maintenance requests to the building managers, which seems like a good system. They are quite good with the upkeep of the grounds, there is a cleaning service that clean the windows quite regularly and also a security team that do surveillance every 2 hours, it makes the building seem safe and secure. In terms of facilities we have a nice array, including: a 24/7 concierge that collects parcels, resident parking (for £35 a week), free bicycle storage and communal gardens. There aren’t any resident events, so it’s hard to meet the other residents. Occasionally, I will pass my neighbours in the corridor and they are nice, but quiet and we only exchange polite greetings. live in a studio apartment, so this room also includes my living area and kitchen. My apartment came furnished and the furniture and appliances that it came with are of an acceptable quality. The management were very welcoming when I arrived, and they asked me whether I would want a sofa bed or a normal bed. I chose a normal bed. The only downside is that we aren’t allowed to hang things on the walls or decorate the place much, but I don’t mind.

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

It is a well-connected area; Shadwell station is just a 4-minute walk away and the city centre is just a 30-minute walk, it’s good for me because as I said I walk to work. There is a corner shop nearby, but it doesn’t take card payments, which is annoying. My favourite thing about living here is how close the gym is!

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

When I first came to visit the apartment, I thought that it was more in Wapping than it is. It is on the border between Wapping and Shadwell and I wish I had known this because Shadwell is a dodgy area and I don’t feel that safe there.

What is the best feature of your home:

I love the location, it is working out for me because I work nearby. The price of the studio suits me perfectly as well.
