Good area, lousy buildings

Jessica Crisp (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Mar 2023

They built the flats so quickly they didn't think anything through, so things are constantly breaking, although the flats are a good size they always have to fix a problem constantly, not much ventilation through out the building as no windows so because of this it's either too hot or too cold in the building

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

I like living here as close to bus stops, shops easy to get to anywhere, lovely people, its always mostly quiet, close to schools and lots of greenery, good for pets and nice walks, although buildings are put up quickly and very easily will things break

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

The housing has always been good for me quick to respond and quick repairs

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

I wish I knew about the building work to fox the ventilation constant builders outside my flat, no privacy

Perfect but some improvements needed

SAMIR PATEL (Owner)

Verified Resident

Nov 2020

On a positive note, the builder and engineers are very quick and perfect when they are building and very good at handling roadworks and many more things. Though there is a slight problems with parking. Also the door of our garbage room is broken for the past 1 month and the lid is also broken and there is a foul odour that is coming from it.

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

Well, a nearby restaurant would be nice and more shops would also be nice.

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

Yes they have. When our main door broke down they came to fix it in about a week.

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

Well I wanted to have a bigger kitchen and also have a bigger living room.

Great transport links and flat design

Jared M (Owner)

Verified Resident

Nov 2020

The flat design is lovely, due to the simple yet modern feel inside. The size feels good due to the spacious hallway and decent spare bedroom, meaning you don’t feel cramped inside. The balancing is an added bonus during the warmer days to allow the breeze to flow through the whole flat. The building is well maintained and has always had friendly staff. The newly built park is a welcomed addition to the development.

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

The transport links are amazing! A direct train to Victoria, London Bridge and St Pancras, as well as a short bus to Morden to get the northern line, makes travelling into London very easy.

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

The low energy bills due to the building being so well insulated! This has saved us hundreds of pounds, and we could have even gone to a cheaper provider earlier.

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

A more responsive management company would be useful. Getting in touch can be troublesome

Over all I am happy to be loving under clarion housing

Jessica crisp (Tenant)

Nov 2020

I love the fact this estate doesn't look old and it looks warm and welcoming coming in, it's a very quiet easy going estate, a lot of local amenities close, very close to travel routes, fantastic green spaces, rivers that are lovely to walk along, it's very recommended

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

I like clarion it is good with responsive if I ever had any problems they are quick to resolve them, the only problem is my rent as I do think it's to high for a housing association property

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

New neighbour everything you need to know is in your handbook

Local tenant review

Vicki sutherland (Tenant)

Nov 2020

Once the work was started I was a bit concerned about the noise and upheaval of the new properties but work was done very professional and did not cause any personal problems to myself . The design is very nice and seem to be nice big spaces inside .

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

I like that the development has improved the overall look of the area bringing lots of new parks / areas for children to go to . Very easy access to bus routes . The shop we have on site is very handy and neighbours all seem quite pleasant . Overall a nice area to live

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

I don't think I would change anything
