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

Create location with lots of shops, restaurants and groceries. Less traffic noise but depends on location of flat.

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

Living in Bloom nine elms is just magnificent! Everything you need in one place; from quiet spaces to co working spaces.

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

Abdo never disappoints me in any of the questions I may have. I genuinely only love going to him for any sort of help.

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

The only thing that’s a bit of a hassle is the parcel room. Sometimes things are misplaced or lost.

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

I like the fact that nice parks are all walking distance. I like the local restaurants that are distinctive to this area, not like a shopping mall standard type. Also, the fact that the station is just a step away is a big plus. What I do not appreciate is the condition of the roads and trash on the streets. I hope the building management and the council can coordinate and cooperate to improve the surrounding public area conditions.

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

Always very attentive, kind, and swift response! I truly appreciate their professionalism and care.

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

What new developments around the property will look like. This is because now a new building is definitely going to block any view or sunshine.

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

The access to transport is excellant and there are a good number of bars and restaurants, plus great access to public parks. The downside to the location is that the surrounding area is a mess. The streets and pavements are poorly maintained and filthy, there are a lot of dodgy people in and around the complex, including some homeless sleeping on parts of the property.

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

In general, the responses have been prompt and dealt with in a good fashion. The area where the expectations have been low is the dificulties in having the cooling system functioning when you really need it - it always seems to breakdown during a heat wave, but they is more a function of the design of the system.

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

The complicated entrance system to the individual buildings in the complex - going up and down one of more lifts just to access the street.

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

The area offers a good mix of local shops and casual restaurants in the power station. Transport links are convenient . Just a rise in anti-social behaviour and noise pollution from construction

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

Building management are always responsive to issues I’ve raised. Throughout the day there is someone available , received help from staff and Gabi has been available to escalate queries, retrieve parcels and assist with meeting room issues

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

Nothing major but the start of the building work and noise disruption would have been useful to know or considered during renewals
