Concierge are so lovely and helpful! The communal areas in the building are always kept so clean and tidy, whenever we have guests they compliment how nice the lobby smells! Lots of events and pop ups aswell x

Best agency company. The staff were very friendly and helpful even though I asked many questions, especially Johanne. He basically helped me with everything, from choosing the flat to making sure that the referencing process go well. I am very grateful and would highly recommend their services to anyone.
4/5
Quick to respond regarding viewings and lettings and getting the tenancy sorted. A little slower sorting problems with the flat once moved in, but they're responsive to messages

Urban Bubble are responsible for managing Blackhorse Mills in London. I have lived at Blackhorse Mills for four years, and when I first moved in, it was a genuinely lovely, community-driven building. It was well maintained, communication from the management team was friendly and residents actually felt at home here. Unfortunately, particularly over the last year since the change in management, the experience has gone seriously downhill. Communication from management is often appalling, with residents frequently being spoken to in a condescending, controlling and unnecessarily patronising way. You increasingly feel as though you're being treated like a child rather than a paying resident, and, ironically, like you have to walk on eggshells in your own home. The building itself is also increasingly poorly managed. We regularly have lifts breaking down, the air conditioning has not been functioning properly during heatwaves, the pool is frequently overcrowded and is now being made available to the next door communal working space members despite our contracts stating that the facilities are for residents. The bin chutes also seem to be permanently broken. Then there are the financial and administrative issues. Rent has increased significantly, and there seems to be a constant search for ways to extract more money from residents, including repeated mistakes and inconsistencies around payments, contracts and tenancy records. In my own experience, I've had to repeatedly chase management to correct basic administrative errors, including errors that could potentially have financial consequences for residents. This is not what you expect from a professionally managed building, particularly given the rents residents are paying. It's a real shame because Blackhorse Mills used to have such a lovely community feel. Unfortunately, the current management approach has created an environment that feels increasingly controlling, stressful and unwelcoming. I would absolutely not recommend living here under the current management. The building has enormous potential, but the way it is currently being managed is seriously letting it, and its residents, down.

I have been using Urbanbubble as lettings and management agent for years and have always been satisfied with its service. Its staff is responsive, and it is usually fairly quick in finding me a replacement tenant.

The concierge team is incredibly helpful and polite. John went above and beyond to help me during my move-in, even helping carry deliveries to my floor and assisting with the van unloading. He’s very friendly, and the service is excellent.

3/5
The staff members at High Definition themselves are fantastic. They are always very attentive and quick to pick up on anything we mention, with Magda and Donna in particular standing out for their excellent service and attention to detail. However, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to the leaseholder meetings. Despite having extensive conversations and raising important points, there often doesn’t seem to be any meaningful follow-up or communication afterwards to demonstrate progress on the actions and decisions that were agreed. It would be really beneficial to have clearer communication following each meeting, including updates on what has been agreed, who is responsible for taking action, and the progress being made. This would give leaseholders greater confidence that the issues raised are being taken seriously and actively addressed.
