A guide to living in East London

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

The local area is great, access to the Olympic park and a short walk to Westfield shopping centre. Pudding Mill lane DLR station is a very short walk, with it only being one stop to Stratford station. The building is located on a busy road but is gated and set back far enough that there's rarely an issue with noise. Parking availability is only for those with a registered bay with this being enforced by an ANPR camera.

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

The mismanagement of the building by Firstport is something I wish I had known, but thankfully the building is finally being improved.

What is the best feature of your home:

The location is great as well as access to important transport links.

Nothing bad to say at all. All staff were very helpful and accommodating. Easy to contact and always polite and replied to us very quickly. We felt very much at home there and everyone was brilliant. Very close to DLR, shops and a few restaurants. Would definitely stay there again

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

Not that there were any issues to report really but any minor ones were always dealt with immediately

Honestly cannot think of anything negative. The location of Millet Place is perfect with the Barrier Park being very close by. DLR and bus service ces also very close by too.

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

The area is really nice quiet and has good transport links. I would recomend for profesionals who work in central London. If you can rent or buy here through a company thats NOT Notting Hill Genesis or Folio I would highly recommend this!

Below is my experience still ongoing as of April 2nd 2026 (I moved out in March!) "I moved out on March 16th, but the exit process was a nightmare of NHG’s own making. The Property Manager (Masefan Agera) failed to show up for the agreed check-out appointment and ignored all calls. When she finally called the next day, she actually shouted at me, blaming me for her own missed appointment. She only retracted her aggression once I informed her I had the entire timeline logged. Despite confirming in writing that I vacated on March 16th, NHG has: Disabled my account access so I cannot manage my finances. Unauthorized Charge: They then charged me £1,177 for April rent for a property I don’t live in. Withheld Funds: They still owe me a pro-rata refund for the last 15 days of March. I had to escalate this to the CEO (Patrick Franco) and the Operations Manager (Sabrina Campbell). Instead of an apology or a refund, Sabrina Campbell attempted to dodge accountability by telling me it was "my responsibility" to cancel the payment—while in the same breath confirming they had disabled my account so I couldn't access it! This negligence has put me in a desperate position, leaving me without the rent money for my new apartment. NHG’s leadership needs a total overhaul; if this is how Patrick Franco manages the company, they are failing on every level. They are quick to take your money but will ignore you and shout at you when they owe it back."

What is the best feature of your home:

The flat was nice modern and spacius, area was private and clean/maintained regulary
