Lovely grainger team

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

Excellent transport links! 129 free bus service, recently council has built the corridor near the DLR area which is a quiet way to relax. Constant airplane noise can be an issue due to close proximity with the city airport. Also theres an area with a tall wall because of the way Thames Barrier park has been built that has turned into a squash court. I often find myself waking up on a weekend due to the noise of the ball hitting the walls. Not a lot of grocery shops around - Sainsbury’s about 7 mins walk and Nisa local about 5 mins away

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

Responded by offering a resolution. However the contractor availability timings often clash with usual working hours. So if a person is working full time, the maintenance visit would most likely have to be unattended by resident.

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

Good: thames barrier park, DLR close, great balcony views, secure building access Bad: noise levels, constant rent increases, occasional hot water issues

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

The local area is excellent to live it, it feels safer relative to the rest of London. There are cafes and coffee shops nearby and two large supermarkets within easy walking distance. The transport links are excellent to the city centre, Stratford and elsewhere.

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

The landlord has responded to queries and issues, they have responded to these in good time. Having lived elsewhere the quick replies are appreciated!

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

The area's reputation online makes the area seem much worse than it actually is. The area feels much nicer than many other parts of London.

The property is situated in a great location, the general upkeep is great, however the poppy apartment building often feels neglected in comparison to its “sister” buildings. The general reception area is poor compared to the main block. More attention could be given to this block. Facilities are great, but small things like charging residents in Poppy for gym access is off putting, as it makes us poppy residents feel a certain way. The management are all fantastic, they are very responsive and helpful to any issues, but more should be done to address residents who don’t adhere to the rules - smoking, treatment of the building etc. front of house are always welcoming and newbie Eunice is a great addition and is always chatty. The events the management put on are always welcomed. I think a Facebook group could be set up for the building where residents can share hobbies, recommendations, selling items if they looking to get rid etc. also could something be set up where the management organise a “junk clear out” day where residents can use to clear broken furniture etc, rather than it just being left in the bin store for the cleaner to sort (we’ve been told a fine is given, but appears not to put people off)

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

The location is great for transport, DLR, bus, tube a few stops away, river boat and airport. All bases are covered. A great park that’s always busy during summer months, local amenities close by which are constantly developing. Very little anti social behaviour, park gates close at night which makes you feel there’s nothing going on through the evening. Parking is an issue, whilst some residents have parking allocated, there is zero parking for any guests which is always an issue.

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

Very well. Staff are very responsive and helpful in any way possible. Whenever we’ve had issues they have been supported to get issues resolved which wasn’t directly involved with, but will help residents to sort

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

How easy this property is to get too and how accessible it is for multiple transportation links
