I would encourage anyone looking to run as far away from this place as possible....Money making scheme , they are not in it for you but themselves. Igrow , Greenpark , STSS...All slithering snakes in the grass.
I stayed at Greenpark for a total of 3 months and I have just served notice at the end of month 3... Electricity is billed at almost double the Eskom rate. R4.05 / kWh( They have a mark up on electricity). No wonder they didn't want to share the utility bills before I moved in because they said it's all relative...Water is also billed separately...AT A MARK UP AS WELL.
- instead of this service being a value added service like other properties , you pay monthly fees of R93 to have their dumb app on your phone so you can load electricity. - Facilities aren't that great compared to other Balwin properties. -Their so called gym is that steel **** you find in government parks. - Apartment quality is deteriorating by the minute , loose cupboard doors , stained walls , stained cracked tiles , Weak mirror hinges, you can see Structural cracks on buildings outside....lol not to mention your deposit will be liable for those defects before you go whether you did them or not. - Water pressure is weak. - hot water takes 10 hours to come out. you just run water till it decides to become hot- another contributor to high water costs. - Shower leaks water everywhere...i become a part time cleaner at least once a day after every shower. - when close taps , it continues to drip for another 2/3 seconds , no wonder the water bill is also a mess. - Pool is smaller than a fish pond. If you want to swim , be ready to not go higher than your knees.... you are actually better off taking a cold shower. - if you do take that shower , Drainage system releases a ****ty after smell in the house through out drains so you need to keep the door closed and windows open.
I see they give generic responses like "*its billed to the homeowner at cost"* , fact of the matter i think is they are in it together *My opinion* , when you raise it ....no one does anything about it , it lands on deaf ears to protect their revenue together i guess... Agent (Igrow Wealth Investments) doesn't even bother responding.
If you are looking in here , Whatever rental you see for a decent price , factor in another R2000 extra per month because of hidden costs they dont tell you about. I asked for a utility bill before I moved in and they played it down.
Don't know if it's funny or cause for concern but u never see the same neighbor for longer than 2 months because people are leaving after seeing what's behind the curtains.... fortunately or unfortunately , i'm one of them.
In short - moving in like WILL make your life worse , If you love yourself , don't ruin your mental health like that.
