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

i’ve always lived in barking and dagenham so the things that people highlight as bad (traffic, anti social behaviour, noise, river pollution etc) are things that i’ve always been around but the location is very well thought through, easy access to shops and the train station with multiple bus routes in between

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

it’s been slightly 50/50 with some things but overall even if the service hasn’t been great it’s been quick

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

you have to pay rent per pet and £150 per month for parking and the foyer door opens outwards so be careful. beautiful sunsets though

They were always there for help. I got a leakage in my apartment but it was fixed within 30 mins.

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

I had a minor maintenance issue in my apartment and reached out to the management. To my surprise, they responded the same day and had someone out to fix it within 24 hours. It’s refreshing to see a management team that actually cares and follows through. Great job from mimi jake karmdeep andreja

The people working at AWOL are the highlight

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

Above all else, the people who work here are the best! Really kind and helpful. Can’t fault them! They’re the highlight of this place! Otherwise, the location is great - the Central line, night tube and Elizabeth line, all within easy reach. It does feel like a safe area, but there are spots of anti-social behaviour. The local betting shop always has a group of people in masks outside. They must be shy.

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

Quickly, and with lots of care! They listen to your problems and help resolve them as best they can.

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

Quite a few false promises, unfortunately, but they do understand and do the best they can, with what they have.
