Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

This building is well located, great neighbourhood and location. That's about the only positive thing I can say. There are numerous issues with the building itself and especially A2 dominion who manage it

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Repairs are no longer taken care of promptly. We waited months for our repair to get gone, eventually gave up and moved out.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

We had a great run, but it's not the same place anymore, so I don't advise others to move in.

Good connections to the city by underground lines which are very close by. Good range of shops in the surrounding areas too.

Have a walk around the nearby areas as the surroundings are also important

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

This has been a lovely area to live at, the environment around and inside the building both are very pleasant and convenient.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Always helpful and quick to reply, I couldn’t be happier

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I knew that the rail noise could sometimes be louder than I’d like, since when windows are open, it can sometimes get a bit loud… that’s all.

Dear Azadeh, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! It’s great to hear that the reception team, especially Saad, has made such a positive impact. The shared areas really do add that extra touch of comfort and community, and it sounds like the rooftop birthday party was a fantastic way to celebrate! We’re so glad you feel at home here and appreciate you taking the time to let us know. Best regards, Darek

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The apartment is right next to victoria park and the canal which is amazing to visit all year around. Bow highstreet is a 10 minute walk away to do general shopping. Parking is hard to come by though. Buses run right outside but there is no tube in the local vicinity.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The building management have been slow to fix the car park gate, which is necessary as it leaves the apartment vulnerable.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Contact the building management so you can drive close to the entrance when moving in and out. they have a chain across so people cannot park there illegally.
