Feedback on Harvey Thrower of Vertus I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for all of Harvey’s help in finding the perfect rental property within Newfoundland, Canary Wharf for me. His professionalism, patience, and expertise were evident throughout the entire process, and I truly appreciate the time and effort he dedicated to ensuring that I found a place that met all of my needs. Harvey’s attention to detail and prompt responses made the process much smoother and less stressful (which was no easy task doing it whilst I was still in Australia and with a 10-hour time difference), and I genuinely felt supported every step of the way. It's rare to encounter someone so committed to delivering such excellent service, and I am so grateful for his assistance. Harvey’s commitment to his job is second to none. I will certainly recommend Vertus to anyone in need of a rental in the future. As an organisation, Vertus should be proud to have such an advocate, he is a great representative which I am sure will continue to deliver for your business. He represents the reason that I wanted to return to Newfoudland as a home for the next couple of years. Thank you Harvey!

A variety of shops and open spaces. Close to bus stops and train stations. Not much parking and some traffic noise.

That the higher up you are, the more the building creaks. I didn't know it was supposed to.

I absolutely love the floor to ceiling windows. It opens up the space and makes it feel more relaxed.

Great range of bars, restaurants and activities nearby. Lack of parking and large grocery shops in the area.

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

I wish I knew how bad the property managers were, it might have affected my decision to buy.

What is the best feature of your home:

The flat is really spacious. The design of the flat feels larger than the average London new build.

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

Living in Canary Wharf / south quay is great. Living near to the DLR, jubilee line and Elizabeth line is so convenient and we love the amount of security that is around the local area. One thing we don’t like is the amount of teenagers trying to scam people in the local area running donation schemes and harassing residents.

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

We wish we’d known we wouldn’t have the security we were promised

What is the best feature of your home:

We love our balcony facing towards the river and the large scale windows.
