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

Area is ok, certainly the end of the Clapham/Tooting buzz, but enough here to keep entertained and well stocked. The area is quiet and family oriented. The location of the flats do make you rather overlooked if you live at the front of the building. Bin collections once a week, but within 24 hours the recycle bins are overloaded and very difficult to use. One major let down is parking, it seems that the council has refused on street parking which is very strange considering the main road outside the development is largely empty. Clarion charge an outrageous amount for a parking space so unless your property comes with one, you can only park a car in a neighbouring street with no permits. Which is a shame.

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

The key area of concern is Clarion. The raising of ground rent, rent and service charge is rather shocking and has put us off staying here long term. (£100 rise in service charge, £30 rise in service charge)

What is the best feature of your home:

Stunning development with excellent modern and spacious interior with fabulous balcony.

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

Great area to live in, with access to a lot of groceries shops(sainsburys, M&s, aldi, lidl) 2 retail parks less than 5 mins away with boots, tkmaxx, pcworld, nandos, starbucks. Quiet area without no noise, and easy acess to colliers wood station (5mins)

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

Nothing to add

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

Nothing much to add as a negative aspect, the house have central air ventilation and air extractor, but the bathroom boost is not enought to avoid mold
