I live in Altima Court too, we had no water around 10pm last night, but

it came back on around midnight. Management agents said it was a fault with the pump, but

didn't have any other info.

We had this problem several times last year, hope they've solved the issue once and for all!

I live in Altims Court too and have just got back from work and there's no water again!!! I reported a problem at 5.30am this morning and they gave me an ETA for the contractor to come out for 7.30am, the management agent gave the contractor my number and they called at 7.50am to say that they were 5mins away, didn't hear from them again. I can't believe its not working again, it apparently hasn't been working since 6.30pm and the contractor is not due to arrive until 9.30pm. This is the 4th time I've experienced this here in the last 2 years.

Hey,

Did they manage to fix your water problem? Reason I ask is my girlfriend and I are looking at buying a flat in Altima court and amongst my research I stumbled across your thread.


After speaking with our estate agent I though the service charges/ground rent were quite high, but assumed because of the size of the block and how well maintained it looks that this was the norm. But seems a lot to be paying for no water! Have you had any other problems and would you recommend living in the block??

I've lived in Altima Court for 4 years and the water going off the other night was the first time I've known it to happen here. It was annoying but not worth not buying a flat over.


Can't really comment on the expense of the service charge as I've nothing to compare it against.


Our previous property manager from the managing agents was absolutely useless. The new one actually came round the other day though and he is a hell of a lot better.

I have lived in Altima Court since built- so 5 years. To my knowledge have lost water twice, once due to mains issue, once due to Altima Court issue, which was resolved by management company same day. Based on this, hard to fault. Sure,management fee isn't cheap, but considering property has lifts etc., does not compare badly to my previous flat. Certainly not going to promote the management company, they do adequate job, but not ready to criticise either.

    • Having enjoyed a day with Sayce HolmesLewis, I understand what you’re saying.  I appreciate your courage responding on here. 
    • Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.
    • I'm sure many people would look to see if someone needed help, and if so would do something about it, and at least phone the police if necessary if they didn't feel confident helping directly. At least I hope so. I'm sorry you don't feel safe, but surely ED isn't any less safe than most places. It's hardly a hotbed of crime, it's just that people don't post on here if nothing has happened! And before that, there were no highwaymen,  or any murders at all .... In what way exactly have we become "a soft apologetic society", whatever that means?
