Yes, we were using HTB option. Purchased on the 5th floor. It’s been a shit show and with the latest update we got today it’s made our Experience even worse.

I’ve taken a 2 bed apartment on rent there. Any idea where to get blinds for these massive windows ? And what blinds are you guys using ? The landlords should have a basic courtesy of installing the blinds to be honest.

How did you rent? It’s in the heads of terms that subletting is not permitted. I still have the documents.

The owner Mason Quincey has rented more than 50 apartments

This is a brand new building and it’s a complete dumpster fire. The only lift has broken down and hasn’t worked for months now. Mails get stolen, please get stabbed in the building, but no CCTV at all !!
Apartments are unfinished - missing paint job in places, loose wires hanging out of the walls. Mailboxes are numbered by handwritten postit stickers. There’s no parking enforcement. Thin walls and antisocial neighbours playing loud music all the time, landlord ignores complaints, it’s pointless. The apartments are so basic and bare it’s hard to believe - bathroom doesn’t have any heating whatsoever - no radiator, not even a cabinet. No curtains on windows. Kitchen wall over counter has no protection - cheap water paint, impossible to clean, so any little splash leaves a permanent mark. Brand new apartment I have moved in was already dinged up and scratched up by careless builders like it was 20 years old. Various absurd building fails such as putting floor skirting before the floorboards... Avoid this building at all costs.

Everyone who pulled out, made the right call IMO. Everyone who didn't, enjoy the premium rents. Those who rented, suffer - that's me too btw.

I'm so glad I discovered this thread. I just came back after a viewing and was very impressed with the property and what seemed to be on offer but perhaps this is adding a whole new dimension to why it is so!

Stay well aware if it’s an unfinished unit and you wish to move in soon. All dates and timelines for completion are utterly bogus
Specific-Constant228@reddit
Hi, have you moved in ? Can you guide me what kind of blinds are you using for windows and where are you getting it from?

Hi. Moving at the end of the month and the curtains stuff worries me. Why won’t they have curtains. But I did some research and discovered you have to use a floor to ceiling window curtain. But can we connect? Thanks
Specific-Constant228@reddit
Absolutely. I’ve sent you a message

Hi, have you been able to find a good blinds company?
Specific-Constant228@reddit
Hi, yes I’ve ordered from Amazon.

Hi, my partner and I are moving in this Saturday, what blinds did you buy?
Specific-Constant228@reddit
Hi, net curtains and black out curtain.
Inner_Ad_1370@reddit
I pulled out! Thought the developer went bust?

Purchased an apartment around April and been a shit show since. The water meters are just an excuse for them not being able to install the loft for an unknown reason. I used HTB which as people know is invalid. I don’t know how whoever is in charge can drop the ball for 6 months in a row.
Strict-Relative-6325@reddit (OP)
u/Appropriate_Stuff_59 I totally agree! What floor did you reserve on? I’m 5th and they’re now saying May for completion
Appropriate_Stuff_59@reddit
I’m on the 4th floor and yet to be given a completion date. Every deadline just keeps on getting pushed back
Much-Bee1@reddit
Im moving in 4th floor🤪

So very disappointed in this building reaching a year of delays, lack of transparency.
turning buyers lives upside down in a very bad way
