Noise is extremely disturbing and damaging. Shops are either cheaper and not necessarily the best quality or supermarkets with much higher prices than other chains that are more accessible, in a way forcing us to get delivery, as it’s cheaper than doing groceries locally. It feels like slowly everyone is being pushed towards making more money or moving somewhere else (this is not this area only but London itself, as a whole).
Please review your development:
Most of the things are good except for:
Not allowing glass in the recycling bin is a total childish attitude that I hope gets changed at some point, as you could speak with the council to modify this or even have an individual bin for this downstairs: putting this on the actual tenant isn’t fair/ethical.
Some repairs take way too long or nobody really takes action on those (like water leaks that even if it’s slowly or in the rainy season, will only grow and contiue damaging the properties)… Either way, what MUST be improved is communication, as on many cases the tenants are left in the dark and that’s by far the worst thing to do (even an email saying that something won’t be addressed or that it will take long is better than nothing).
Please be aware, Mark and the team (especially Jason) are really good in what they do. Without people like them and some of the engineers, the building would be in a really bad situation.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There’s almost no phone signal in the whole 10th floor at least… This and the noise from outside are things that could have made me rethink what I was doing when moving in… Still it was the best place in which I lived in 10 years.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
In general everything addressed and in reasonable timings, besides a few repairs that so far aren’t fixed or not even checked in depth after a year.
In general, good performance.
