  • Share Very simple question: Are you still expecting the move-in date as of May 2025 as of today or not? Continued lack of progress raises significant concerns. It is now nearly mid-April, and we have seen no advancements from your side. We are left with the impression that further delays are inevitable—delays which seem you are withholding from us, forcing us into an unnecessary and stressful waiting period until the 25th of April. If this is the case, we expect transparency now, rather than another last-minute apology and explanation on the 25th, acknowledging yet another failure. on Facebook Share Very simple question: Are you still expecting the move-in date as of May 2025 as of today or not?

    Thank you for your question.  With the information we have now, we are still expecting occupations in May.  We will provide another update on 25 April, however should we take PC sooner, we will inform you immediately.  It is not in our interest to delay practical completion and registration of these buildings any longer than is absolutely necessary.

    Thank you for your question.  The washing machines are for the open market sales properties and have nothing to do with the shared ownership block.  There is absolutely no benefit in us not keeping you informed and all information we provide is in good faith.  It is in our interest to practically complete and register these buildings as soon as possible so that we can complete on the sales.

    Thank you for your question, every development is different and we have no control over the timeframe for the building safety registration once submitted.   Our most recent development Wharf 21 was practically complete on 15 January, we submitted for BSR registration on 21 February, we took handover and served notice to occupy on 13 March with first occupation taking place on 18 March.

  • Share Two questions from me: 1. I am also cursed with seeing the New kent Road building every day as I live within eyesight of it. Why are the lights in the show room flat on for days or maybe even weeks at a time? They are on during the day and night. In fact as I look out my window now I can see the lights are on behind the thin curtain. Did someone forget about this? 2. This question is around the estimated move in date which is now late April or May. How realistic is this? I'd much rather you give an accurate and genuinely feasible date and that be further in the future than constantly moving estimations back a week or two in each update. The update at the end of Jan estimated occupation in April based on achieving practical completion (PC) in mid Feb. Fire curtains were delayed by 3 weeks in the end of Feb update which in turn delays PC again, but you still gave an estimated April occupation date. Now we are in April and PC still hasn't happened, but you are still entertaining the prospect of an Apil occupation. I'm sure you can understand where myself and others are coming from and why we are sceptical. So, please could you be honest with us and give us a realistic timeline because I really don't have much faith in the most recent update. Sure, if everything goes *perfectly* and you receive the necessary paperwork and are able to register everything or whatever in the shortest timeframe possible then maybe occupation in April is possible. But how often does this ever happen? I would much prefer a timeline based on the *average* or even slightly worse case scenario as this will be more realistic in my eyes. I mean, let's face it - you aren't going to get everything correct first time. Who knows whether it'll be your fault or the building safety regulator's, it just won't happen.

So, please could you be honest with us and give us a realistic timeline because I really don't have much faith in the most recent update. Sure, if everything goes *perfectly* and you receive the necessary paperwork and are able to register everything or whatever in the shortest timeframe possible then maybe occupation in April is possible. But how often does this ever happen? I would much prefer a timeline based on the *average* or even slightly worse case scenario as this will be more realistic in my eyes. I mean, let's face it - you aren't going to get everything correct first time. Who knows whether it'll be your fault or the building safety regulator's, it just won't happen. I'd welcome you to prove me wrong !!! on Twitter Share Two questions from me: 1. I am also cursed with seeing the New kent Road building every day as I live within eyesight of it. Why are the lights in the show room flat on for days or maybe even weeks at a time? They are on during the day and night. In fact as I look out my window now I can see the lights are on behind the thin curtain. Did someone forget about this? 2. This question is around the estimated move in date which is now late April or May. How realistic is this? I'd much rather you give an accurate and genuinely feasible date and that be further in the future than constantly moving estimations back a week or two in each update. The update at the end of Jan estimated occupation in April based on achieving practical completion (PC) in mid Feb. Fire curtains were delayed by 3 weeks in the end of Feb update which in turn delays PC again, but you still gave an estimated April occupation date. Now we are in April and PC still hasn't happened, but you are still entertaining the prospect of an Apil occupation. I'm sure you can understand where myself and others are coming from and why we are sceptical.

    Until we take practical completion, the building is owned by HG construction and they are responsible for it.  Once we achieve practical completion, we will then need to submit the building safety registration.  Whilst we have no control over the timeframe for receiving confirmation of registration, we have registered other buildings and received confirmation within a few weeks.  Based on the information we have now, we predict that May would be realistic for occupation.  If anything changes before our next update is due, we will inform you.
