Any issues regarding appliances etc have all been fixed asap.

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

I wish I knew about how the sound outside was like before moving in when keeping the windows open at night.

Fantastic location - close to the DLR, Greenwich train station and so are the bus stops. Waitrose is right across the street. Greenwich market is a stone’s throw away. If you fancy a walk along the river then it’s just right there! Our building was at the back so it was quiet except for the construction activity nearby. From a convenience standpoint there’s a garbage chute installed on every floor plus additional storage units that can be rented out. There’s a handyman service that’s also available for an hourly charge. The community area to host guests is top notch!

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

Super prompt and always ready to help. Recall the time there was a water leak from the window in the living room and the abseilers managed to fix it within a week which was very impressive! Any other matters were also looked into and resolved promptly.

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

Always good to check which side the property is going to be facing for a better view especially from the balcony especially since few of the units come with a Juliet balcony (and not a full fledged one). The heating/cooling controls were tricky and wish something more user friendly was installed.

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

The local area is fantastic overall. Great access to Greenwich market and park

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

We have had a few appliance and billing issues but they were always resolved rapidly

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

I wish I had known about the dirt mill / maybe I would've gone to a unit on the other side.

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

Beautiful and unique area overall. Anti social behaviour and rowdy drinkers at times hear the Cutty Sark station but overall lovely and family friendly area

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

Responses are very prompt and staff are overall very friendly and helpful

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

No tube access to the area but this can easily be overlooked given the regular DLR and other overground links

I find living in Union Wharf more convenient than when I first even read through the tenancy offer. The faculties and culture of the building is excellent, with a real sense of forward thought and care. Access to cultural amenities including the excellent Greenwich Market, makes you feel as though you’re never too far from falling into a good time. Whether it be a nice drive through the city, or a walk by the Thames. It’s truly a comfortable experience living and socialising in this community.

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

Yes, Gabriel the handyman is always willing to help and works very efficiently. I’ve needed some small repairs in the home and building management are always willing and efficient in handling issues.

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

I wish I had known more about the free parking locations in the area, as they are fewer than I thought.
