Nice design and friendly people but not functional living - lots of issues. Fine for short term
Design looks nice and communal spaces are great but management is poor and convoluted when there are serious issues. The front desk / concierge staff are really nice and helpful but the management of issues is terrible- an example is hot water went out for days and no one is taking responsibility for it. Lifts break all the time and windows / balcony doors break all the time with poor system to track and correct issues (our window was not fixed for 6+ months) and have heard others have had problems with doors, vents, holes in walls etc. Fine for 6 month - 12 month stays but I’d be wary of longer term commitments especially if your patience levels aren’t good!! Pros include nice modern apartments, good sized bedrooms and nice bathrooms, appliances are nice, there is a nice WhatsApp group with residents and the place is generally very clean.
Finally regarding bills wifi comes included but people in anchor house noted very slow times (I believe this is being resolved now) but the big thing is that energy supplier they use is callers Homebox and their billing is AWFUL - no transparency, charging some people 3x what they charge others and no regular updated billing so you have no idea if you are spending lots or little. They have also said it takes 3 months to close the account
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Ok area, in between Elverson Road and Lewisham and have big Tesco in front . Close to Blackheath too.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Poorly - confusion about fix timelines, whether people were coming to look at it or not
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Communal spaces are really great but you have to book the cinema and the system is not transparent.

Great building with a fantastic front of house team.
I've had a great experience living in Bale House. The building is well-designed, but what really stands out is the service. Sariya at the front desk is exceptional. Whether I’m heading out or coming home, she is always incredibly welcoming and professional. She’s very efficient with the mail and deliveries and always goes the extra mile to help residents. She is a credit to the management team and makes a huge difference to the atmosphere here.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Lewisham is a great area to live in. Being so close to the DLR and train station makes commuting very easy. There are plenty of shops like Tesco nearby and good parks within walking distance.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Management is very responsive. The team at the front desk is always available to help with queries or log issues, and they follow up quickly to ensure things are resolved.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How easy the commute is! Being close to the train station is a huge advantage and time saver.

Jack of all trades, master of none when it comes to choosing utilities
A lot of research had been done before moving into this property and we have no regrets. Starting from the location, to the amenities, the design, environment, a sense of community to bring pet friendly - Bale and Anchor has it all. Although I hope maintenance requests can be accelerated, it takes ages for a request to look into. Furthermore, Homebox is a rising and painful concern. That contractor should be changed if Bale and Anchor wants their tenants to stay back!

They look into it but takes long time to arrange. E.g. the back door of Bale building is still under repairs since 1.5 years (when we moved in)
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Homebox and Glide internet. Absolute nightmare of a company followed by poor customer service and incompetence

Manager's response
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and positive review. We’re really pleased to hear that you’re enjoying the aesthetic of the building, the comfort of the communal spaces, and the convenience of the local area.
Your kind words about our management team mean a lot to us, and we’ll be sure to pass on your special praise to Sariya. She’ll be delighted to know that her support, positivity, and welcoming smile have made such a difference to your experience. It’s also great to hear that maintenance issues, like your bathroom light repair, were handled quickly and smoothly.
We appreciate your honest feedback regarding Homebox. We understand the frustrations, and your comments have been noted so we can continue looking at ways to improve the resident experience, working directly with the senior team at Homebox.
Thank you again for being part of our community, we’re really glad your experience has been better than expected, and we’re always here if you need anything further.
Kind regards,
Luke

Decent place, great design
I really like living here. It’s a well designed place, you have just the right amount of furniture and facilities. Value for money. I’m not happy with wardrobe design though. The bottom space is useless unless you buy extra organizer equipment. People are nice too.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Range and quality of shops are good. Transport links are good. It feels safe in some areas, and some doesn’t feel okay to walk by.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Junior has come to help us with the bathroom leaking issue we faced. He is so great at his job, he pointed out the solution and got it fixed. Later when I mentioned about the other issues we faced, he got them sorted out one by one. He literally got all of my 6-7 issues solved in a very short time. He is very friendly and kind, it’s been a pleasure meeting him.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How great of a place it is to live. We really feel like home here
