The East of England sits within the curved section of land protruding above the Thames Estuary, covering the home counties above London and stretching up to the border with the East Midlands. Enjoying some of the driest weather in the country, East England is also the lowest-lying land, with parts of The Fens more than two metres below sea level. Major towns and cities include Cambridge, Norwich, Bedford, Luton and Ipswich, while its constituent counties include Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.
Great facility with a useful communal areas
Good areas are the concierge and active efforts to make Platform a safe and comfortable environment. All issues in the property have been resolved in a timely manner. The bad areas are the high rent and the utility vendors Platform uses (Switch and Glade). The utility bills are unreasonable.
Please review your development:
Great facility with a useful communal areas. Cannot fault the buildings design. I really enjoy the roof terrace, gym and residents lounge and very useful for visiting guests. The building staff (Joe, Raj, Wendy and previously Delia) have been incredibly helpful and always go above and beyond to help. I broke my hand in 2022 and Wendy helped me with cleaning my flat in her own time without accepting any reimbursement. Joe has consistently organised events and kept the building safe and friendly. Platform could improve on their email communications as sometimes this can be quite difficult to achieve a timely response. Short and simple queries turn into conversations lasting weeks. The worst aspect of living here has been the number of airbnb residents. Some of who have short stay visitors at all hours. This has been incredibly uncomfortable and taken away from the feeling that this is a long term home rather than a short let hotel.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Get a fan! The flat can get extremely hot- great for the winter, torture in the summer!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building management has always over the past three years responded and resolved issues in the flat very quickly.
