Hi Jax, Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback on our newly restored apartments at Dolphin Square! We appreciate your feedback on our facilities, location and customer service. We are particularly pleased to hear of your appreciation of the character and warmth of Dolphin Square. We are fortunate to be able to retain this character and it was one of the main points of focus with the restoration of the Estate, to preserve its history. We are delighted with the comments regarding our Fitness Club and are confident that once the full restoration of the Fitness Club & communal facilities are complete, this will only add to your enjoyment of Dolphin Square. It is great to hear the positive compliments of our staff here at Dolphin Square and the support they have shown you since moving into the Square. Finally, thank you for recommending us as your landlord, we appreciate the feedback and hope you continue to enjoy living here!

Hi Caroline, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about our newly restored apartments at Dolphin Square! We appreciate your detailed feedback on your experience living at Dolphin Square so far. We understand that the on-going Restoration Programme does at time include noisy works and thank you for your understanding and appreciation to our attempts to minimise the impact to residents with our strict noisy working hours. We are delighted to hear your positive compliments on the staff being helpful and very friendly. We would love the opportunity to understand your feedback further with the 1st receptionist you met and the reasons why you feel their approach was different. We are always looking at ways to improve our customer service, and it’s important that this is addressed. I am happy to arrange a meeting in person, if you would like this opportunity, please do contact Reception@dolphinsquare.co.uk to advise on your availability to meet with me. It is unfortunate that some of our areas are out of action and unavailable due to the works we are undertaking. We are confident once these areas are reopened, you will be happy with the improvements made to areas, services and amenities, adding to your enjoyment further of Dolphin Square. We take onboard the feedback regarding the pre-move in checks and will ensure this is passed onto our Mobilisation & Tenancy Teams for further improvements where possible. Finally, thank you for recommending us as your landlord, we appreciate the feedback and hope you continue to enjoy living here!

Hi Elle, Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback on our newly restored apartments at Dolphin Square! We appreciate your feedback on our location, the quality of the apartments and our customer service. We are particularly pleased to welcome you back to Duncan House following the restoration programme and that you have chosen to stay with us again! We appreciate your comments about the local area. There are a selective number of local shops around Pimlico, but appreciate the supermarket options may be limited. There are a few more shops and supermarkets within a short walk towards Victoria including a Waitrose and Sainsbury's as some alternatives nearby. We are working with our block management team on the lighting around the estate to ensure that it is sufficient and at the required level for the evening hours, especially as sunlight hours are reduced in the winter. We have recently installed new lighting outside our newly restored houses and will continue to monitor these areas for further lighting needs. We take on board your points regarding the maintenance team and will ensure that this feedback is passed on. Whilst we appreciate that some issues may take some time due to the nature of working with a warranty team as a newly restored home, it is important from a customer service perspective that you are regularly updated on service tickets raised and apologise for the wait you have been experiencing. Finally, thank you for recommending us as your landlord, we are delighted with this feedback and hope you continue to enjoy making Dolphin Square your home!

We are particularly pleased to hear of your appreciation towards the 24 hour reception, the design of our apartments and our beautiful gardens.

Thank you for bringing the issue to our attention. While we are pleased to have acknowledged your concern, we want you to know we are working to resolve it as quickly as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about our newly restored apartments at Dolphin Square! We are delighted to hear your feedback in relation to our Facilities, Location, and Customer Service. At Dolphin Square, we strive to make all our residents feel at ease, listened to, and to create a comfortable environment that improves their quality of life. We take pride in our location, which is just a short walk from Pimlico Tube Station and other local amenities. We hope you continue to enjoy all that the location has to offer. We appreciate your thoughts on what you would have liked to have known before moving in. We are sorry to hear that you have been experiencing noisy works throughout Saturday mornings. We will do our utmost to minimise this and ensure that our noise restrictions are adhered to. In line with all work carried out in Dolphin Square, there will be no noisy work before 09:00 and after 17:00, with a break between 12:30 and 14:00 Monday to Friday. There will be no noisy works at weekends, so please do contact our Security or Reception team to support if you encounter this. We are sorry to hear that you are having difficulty setting up a direct debit for your utility bills. Please visit our reception and we will be happy to guide you through the process or put you in touch with Community Utilities (the provider) to assist you with setting up your account. In relation to your doorbell connection, if you could kindly contact the Reception team, we can get the relevant details, including your apartment number, to schedule support for this issue and get an appropriate update for you. The Salto app requires your Bluetooth settings to be turned on to ensure your app is regularly updated to allow access to your house and apartment. If you are experiencing problems, please contact our reception team for further assistance and guidance. In addition, we will pass the feedback directly to Salto to ensure they are fully aware of any relevant app updates. We have put a lot of effort into making necessary and enhanced improvements, including the decoration of our communal areas. We understand that with the high number of move-ins we have experienced, the impact on the communal areas has unfortunately affected the overall finish and we are confident that as we complete minor decoration work in our lift lobbies, this will help to improve the quality of the finish and mitigate this issue. We also appreciate your recognition of the prompt responses from our team. Our on-site team is dedicated to providing excellent service to our residents, and we are glad to see that their efforts have been recognised. Lastly, we would like to express our gratitude for recommending us as your landlord. We are thrilled by your feedback and hope that you continue to enjoy making Dolphin Square your home. Thank you once again for your feedback.
