Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Moving into Aquifer House has been an absolute game-changer. As a relatively new build-to-rent development in Ilford, it completely redefines modern urban living. The building itself is stunning, boasting a sophisticated, boutique design with high-quality interior finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows, and excellent open-plan layouts.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Finally, the management team is phenomenal, but a massive shout-out has to go to Paul from the maintenance team. Having an on-site team that cares makes all the difference. Whenever a repair or technical issue pops up, Paul is incredibly responsive, professional, and friendly. He handles everything promptly and efficiently, giving you complete peace of mind that the upkeep of your home is in the best hands.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
If you are looking for a beautiful, well-managed, and perfectly connected place to live in East London, I cannot recommend Aquifer House enough!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Location is good, there is a tube station nearby that serves both the Jubilee and the Windrush overground. Big Tesco and and a small Sainsbury’s in walking distance, a few coffee shops and a great restaurant by the station.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known the scale of the pest infestation, the incompetence and lack of care of the property management staff and the frequency with which I’d be dealing with hot water outages.
What is the best feature of your home:
Literally just the location and the size of the windows in my flat
