Installation, Operating and Maintenance
InstructionsThere is an air ventilation system with your property that should be left on at all times.
Keeping the ventilation system switched on will reduce the moisture produced by everyday activities such as cooking, ironing and showering.
Please see the below manual for further information regarding the ventilation system:
Each property is finished in white matt emulsion to the walls and ceiling. The woodwork within each property is finished in white gloss.
The bathroom is fitted with full height wall tiles to the shower area.
Signs of cracking and shrinkage are normal as your apartment has a ‘drying out’ period of between 9-12 months. Water has been absorbed during construction and it is important that the drying out period is gradual. This can be achieved by:
– Ensuring that the property is well ventilated.
– Using the heating sparingly during the first few months.
– Reducing condensation as much as possible by covering pans whilst cooking, drying clothes in well ventilated rooms, closing kitchen/bathroom doors to prevent steam from travelling through the property, using extractors, wiping down moisture off surfaces and maintaining a low background heat.
If you are concerned about a crack, then please email a photo by logging an issue on the Seven Capital Information Hub and a response will be provided by our Aftersales team. Ordinarily cracks can be dealt with during normal decoration once the property has dried out, however large cracks of a certain thickness will be covered under warranty.
White deposits may appear on wall surfaces which is called efflorescence. Efflorescence can be caused by the natural seepage of salts used in the construction materials. This should not be of concern, as the marks can be wiped down with a dry stiff brush. It is important not to wash the marks, as it will make the issue worse.
For residents with parking, you will find your allocated space in the lower level of the development or within the courtyard located at the centre of the development.
There is pedestrian access from the main entrance hallway on the ground floor, as well as the stairways to the other two sides of the development. Car access to the lower level car park is via the car park entrance located on Nelson Street and car access to the courtyard is via Summer Hill Street.
Please ensure that you always park in your designated space within the white lines.
For further information on parking, please contact the Managing Agent, Centrick.

Window dressings purchased through Seven Capital are also covered by a one year manufacturer’s warranty.

When cleaning your laminate flooring there are a number of factors to consider. The floor is not waterproof, therefore, whilst any spills should be cleaned up quickly, nothing more than a damp cloth should be used to do this and any residue left over from cleaning up the spill should be dried off immediately. Do not use a wet mop on the laminate flooring, as this can cause water to seep into and under the laminate which will cause it to warp. Regularly remove dirt from the floor using a dry mop or a soft broom. Avoid using a vacuum cleaner on the laminate flooring, as this can cause scratches. Do not use harsh or scouring devices, as this will cause abrasion. Furniture should never be pushed or dragged across the floor, as this will cause damage.
