L&Q

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

Convenient location, with good transport availability. Manic traffic and dirty streets. Small theft and vandalism, specially at night.

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

Repairs inside the flat are usually attended to promptly. Building maintenance is disappointing (the communal areas have not been cleaned for months).

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

In general the flats are in good condition, but can get extremely hot in the summer.

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

overall it's a good development, everything is new so it looks and feels good I didn't feel anything bad about the safety, But without proper local shops it's hard to survive, The local GYM which is very basic should come soon, there is a regular release of toxic industrial gas which often interacts with you due to nearby industry and waste management/treatment plants this should be stopped immediately, as it impacts your health sometimes it's noisy because of industrial plants, heavily lacking the facilities, peak hours traffic is bad due to schools as well

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

environment and nearby industries/warehouses are making it bad

What is the best feature of your home:

new modern and better quality homes & river walk is good

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

The local area is really nice. Lewisham is constantly changing for better and there’s plenty of shops, restaurants and places to go around. It’s quite busy so it gets noisy with traffic but the transport links are great.

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

It’s very difficult to get a response or repair done. At one point I went for 4 months without hot water in the middle of winter until they finally carried out a repair. I received no compensation and had to still pay the standing charge for heat and hot water despite not being able to use it. Other repairs went similarly badly.

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

The awful stench from the restaurant downstairs. I never imagined this to be so bad, no other restaurant I’ve seen produces this much smoke and odour. If you like fresh air, want to be able to use your balcony or enjoy having a window open, do not move here.

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

Great location, very accessible to Deptford high street with convenience stores and bars and restaurants. Set back off the road so no traffic noise and nice views of the Creek. Also very accessible to Greenwich, the river and Greenwich Park. Noise from the DLR is the one downside of the location.

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

Easy to contact and responsive. Never had any real problems.

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

Buy a fan! Having the windows open at night is quite noisy with the DLR.

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

Very good area with so much potential, close to everything one needs from socializing to shopping and recreation.

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

property management is the one i would change as they’re not great
