Merlin Wharf is a 384 unit build to rent development offering a range of apartments from fourteenth floor penthouse apartments to first floor flats, with feel of being positioned on the river. A range of one and two bedroom apartments are available on a furnished or unfurnished basis with a city aspect or a panoramic view overlooking the river and landscaped courtyards.
Enjoy the convenience of 24 hour concierge, parcel collection and secure mobile phone access to apartments. We are pet friendly and offer flexible lease terms. Our Residents Portal makes it easy for you to communicate with our friendly and professional on site team as well as other residents.
Two landscaped court yards facing the river provide picturesque communal outside space. The ground floor houses ample bicycle storage. Satellite is installed for connection at your cost.

Tenancies are 12 month long fixed contracts. Included in your tenancy agreement will be a break clause allowing you end your tenancy at 6 months or after as long as you have given 2 months written notice.
Tenants joint annual income from salaried employment in the UK must be *your rent* x 12 x 2.5 - If your income does not meet this or you have an active IVA, you will be required to have a guarantor or to pay 6 months upfront. A guarantor must be a UK homeowner and earn (in the UK) 3x the annual cost of your apartment. We do not accept company guarantors, e.g., Housing Hand.
We offer 2 deposit options:
We offer a Zero Deposit Scheme with Flatfair where each tenant pays an initial admin charge of £24 at the beginning of your tenancy, then at the end of the tenancy you are responsible for paying any damage costs/repairs that may need doing.
We also have MyDeposit which is one months' rent and is kept in a secure government scheme, which you get back at the end of the tenancy minus any damage costs.

So far have not faced any major issues but while we shifted to this place, had some minor issues which were dealt with swiftly.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

4Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Very good location in terms of proximity to city centre and nearby amenities. Lovely nearby canal/river walks linking to larger parks. Parking availability is quite limited but convenient and safe if you are lucky enough to be allocated a space.

When I had problems with the dishwasher these were swiftly acted on
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

5Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It is very close to city centre and therefore everything is a short walk to everything you may need from restaurants and coffee shops to grocery stores and cinemas.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Just a month ago we had a drawer issue-they came to repair it not only the same day but the same hour I told them about it. Five stars service!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Many of the residents have dogs and as a dog lover it is quite nice to be surrounded by them.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Excellent location with great security service. Parking is limited and quite a long waiting list, but once you get it, its very convenient. The only downside is the opposite student accommodation has become very busy and quite disturbing.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, excellent and prompt service. We had once washing machine issue and maintenance was provided immediately.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Parking space was quite limited and wish this could be improved.
Manager's response5Good morning, Thank you for your review and kind words. It was a pleasure accommodating you. Best wishes to you and the family for the future! Kind regards, Markell
