Although the location was a bit confusing at start, the design of the grand entrance by the river means the river is felt throughout there development. Our flat faces the south, but still enjoys amazing views to the. River, the City and central London.

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

The cooling system went down during the summer and they were on too of it and fixed it within hours.

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

That the overground is as good as the tube and probably even better at times (heat, rush hours) as it is more user friendly, there’s phone reception and nice people overall. Never use our car …

Super friendly and like minded neighbours, high achievers mentality around the building and people super nice and helpful to each other. There is a real sense of community of young couples, young families and lots of fluffy pets. The amenities are great and the concierge super helpful and kind. Love the sunsets on the river on our doorstep.

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

They helped the movers by allocating them the goods lift and generally always quick to help on almost anything.

Coda is conveniently located 2 minutes from the co-op supermarket, a pharmacist & super close to Chatfield Doctors surgery. The local buses are very regular and it's a 10 minute walk from Clapham Junction station - so travel links aren't an issue at all... it's also a fantastic base from which to walk down the river, over the bridge to Chelsea/Fulham or into the centre of Battersea - very pretty at nighttime.

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

In my experience, all queries or maintenance concerns are responded to within hours - the app is very very convenient for this & ensures all communication is tracked & you're updated regularly.

How to use the heating system! It's fantastic but a little complicated at first :)

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

The location is great, I work in Canary Wharf and have a very short stroll to the Uber Boat that gets me to the office in under an hour without the usual rat race feeling. Northcote Road and Battersea Square are both very close walks that offer great restaurants, bars and coffee shops.

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

very user friendly and happy to go the extra mile to sort any issues.

UBER Boat!

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

We really like this part of London, a minute away from the River and one can take an Uber boat right outside the development to get to other parts like Chelsea and Westminster, love walking along the river all the way to Battersea Park, beautiful walk. Co-op is around the corner for all the essentials and large shops and all other amenities in Northcote Road about 10mins walking. Honestly, I cannot wait until Taylor Wimpey progress with the Winstanley regeneration, it will make such a huge difference to the area.

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

The concierge and management team are really friendly and ready to help. I have had some questions on how to operate the controls in the service cupboard at the apartment and they managed to explain what I needed to do to get the heating up etc..

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

I wish there were some visitor parking spaces. There is a 30min stay drop-off area at the front, but if my friends are visiting for longer we have to be really creative with where they leave their car around here..
