Be wary about this developer. I own a flat in building originally developed by Grainger Plc. Grainger plc still holds the freehold. The building is only 12 years old but the roof already needs a complete replacement.
1. The problems with the roof and water leaks persisted for years in several buildings in the development and Grainger did only very minor jobs to fix them while we were under the NHBC license. Now, shortly after the NHBC license expired, they decided to do major roof works and bill more than 5,000 GBP on average per flat for that. They deny that they intentionally waited for the NHBC license to expire but I don't believe them.
2. The company Grainger kept hiring in the past to fix water leaks and related issues are not good at what they do given that the problems have persisted. Guess what? They are hiring this company again to be in charge of major roof replacement and other works.
3. Past surveys identified the issues with the roof and water leaks and design and construction problem.Yet, Grainger are refusing to take responsibility for that and refused to go after the company who they actually hired to design and build our development even though this company was still within the liability period... I consider this as sinister behaviour towards the leaseholders.
Overall, they speak nicely about their history as a company and about their stance in the industry but in the end of the day they continue to fail people they were happy to sell leases to in the first place and who are the truly innocent party.

Grainger helped me to find a short-term studio in Brighton when I needed it urgently. Both the check-in and check-out went perfectly, they returned my deposit barely untouched in a matter of few days. I would also like to thank Nadia Rogers the property manager ...

Scam artists. Put the rent up massively so you leave after a year. Tried charging us for professional cleaning and other damages, luckily we have have videos of all rooms. Not worth the money, avoid at all costs. Never trust a “professional landlord”....

Grainger response to the roof leak issues in our development has been very disappointing. The leak issues have been happening for a long time and every time Grainger only did some patchy jobs which proved ineffective and short-lived and the problem kept reappearing.

Our property manager Edyta was superb during our 4 year stay in London. She was always attentive, on-the-ball and friendly whenever we had communications with her.
She was also very sympathetic and did her utmost to solve any problems we had during our stay.
