Nov 2025

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

Living in my local area has a mix of positives and challenges. The location is very convenient, as I am close to a DLR station which makes commuting quick and easy. There are schools nearby, which creates a friendly community feel and means that local amenities like shops and cafés are geared towards families. There are also several open spaces within walking distance that are great for fresh air and exercise. However, there are a few downsides. Parking is very limited, especially during school drop-off and pick-up times when the surrounding streets become quite busy. This also means that traffic noise can increase throughout the day. It is a pleasant and well-connected place to live overall.

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

The building management has been slow to respond to issues. Parcels are sometimes left on the floor, some go missing, and bikes have been stolen from the bike shed in the car park a couple of times. Repairs, including water problems, also take a long time to be addressed.

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

Before moving in, I wish I had known about some of the management and maintenance issues. Parcels can be left unattended, bikes have been stolen from the bike shed, and repairs, including water problems, can take a long time to be addressed. It would also have been helpful to know that parking is very limited, especially during school drop-off and pick-up times. Despite the great facilities like the gym, meeting room, and lounge with landmark views, these practical issues are important for new residents to be aware of.

Over promised and under delivered with poor fittings and fixtures

Z B (Owner)

Verified Resident

Oaklands Rise, NW10

Nov 2025

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

The area is underdeveloped, with sales managers promising shops and gyms which never happened. the travel options were oversold and the fittings and fixtures were mentioned to be of high standard which is not the case.

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

Noisy railways, lack of development, timelines of incoming services.

What is the best feature of your home:

It is mine, I worked hard to purchase this property and when it was sold the sales manager told lies to oversell the property.
