Overpriced and low quality apartments in highly accessible and lively area of east London
The local area is great! You are 6 minutes walk from the train station and less than a minute to the local market area. The apartment is above the ASDA so you have direct access to a supermarket, regardless of the weather. There are several parks in the area as well as tennis courts and a skate park less than 10 minutes away.
Please review your development:
The price of the apartment has gone up too much to justify the quality of the apartment. Despite the great area, the building hasn’t been updated since it’s inception 5-6 years ago and it shows in how the building is maintained. The prices have gone up to match the market, but there are several newer developments in the area offering newer properties for the same prices, so the value of this apartment is inflated.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That the rent would increase exponentially and that the building would remain the same (without upgrades).
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Reception is great and always responsive. Maintenance requests are often handled within a week.
