About One Islington Plaza
Meeting Deadlines and Completing Construction
Despite minor delays to the construction of the development due to changes in cladding regulations, the developers did their best to overcome these issues and meet the new expected deadlines. The development company spent millions of pounds ensuring the safety of One Islington Plaza after the Grenfell Disaster as new regulations were put in place.
However, they still pushed hard for completion in September 2019 ready for the new academic year, managing to sign off the upper floors of the building in time for the student intake.
The Process of Construction
Throughout the whole process of construction, investors were kept informed of the ongoing changes to the property via regular construction updates sent by our Client Relations team. Doing so allowed for open barriers of communication between the investor(s), the developer and ourselves. This meant that whenever there was news surrounding the development, the investor was the first to know. So far, the property is appreciating in value as more developments get underway with construction meaning investors are already enjoying capital appreciation. Plus, the investors are also getting rental income from their tenants.
Feedback from Investors about One Islington Plaza

Only excellent things to say so far after just exchanging on an apartment in Liverpool. Both Aaron and Dan have been incredibly efficient. I’ve spoken to Dan on an almost daily basis. If the property performs as well as the customer service at RW I will be a happy bunny.

This is my first time using RW invest, i was a little sceptical at the start as never have done an off plan purchase before hence much riskier strategy. However the team behind were extremely proactive with all the different stages of transactions from general queries to efficient and prompt response to emails, update on progress and chasing any issues on my behalf. I would like to say a huge thank you to Jamie Critchley (investment consultant) who was the main reason for me to make a decision to invest with RW. Jamie was extremely efficient in providing me with a detailed breakdown of the deal, he was always available to talk over the phone, and swift reply on email. He has deffinately added the personal tailor investment for me. In other side of the team Claire Czarnecki from Client care section was equally commendable for her timely and well organised structure which taken me towards the exchange of contracts in time. She looked after the entire process till exchange, making sure the solicitors receive the documents and chasing any issues. This being my first experience with RW invest Liverpool Parliament Square project i would highly recommend using them as the team are very productive and professional in making the entire experience of buying seemless. I will be now setting off towards the completion which is next year 2021, and i am positive that the next team would do an exellent job as the first two.
