Our first few weeks living in the BalfronTower.

Craig Bingham (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Balfron Tower, E14

Oct 2025

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

The area is quiet. Lovely community. The street is clean and looked after. The area has a range of shops that are very convenient. Transport is well connected. Some traffic sound, but nothing to complain about.

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

They have responded quickly, with action. Our extractor fan needed some work and they arranged everything - quickly, coinciding with my personal weekly plan. They have also arranged for certain areas to be re-painted in the flat, keeping the space to the best possible standard. They are extremely friendly and hard working. They add that extra piece of community to the building.

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

If possible, I would have loved to have known more about the community area outside the building and how to get involved in upcoming nights such as BINGO etc. Sounds like there could be some fun nights. And also just good to get to know the residents in the area.

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

The area is very convenient and peaceful, with plenty of local shops, cafes and supermarkets within walking distance. Public transport links are reliable, and the neighbourhood feels safe and friendly. The only minor downside is limited parking spaces during peak hours.

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

The building management team always responds quickly and efficiently. Any issues I’ve reported were resolved within a short time, and the staff are polite and professional.

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

I wish I had known how peaceful and quiet the neighbourhood is — it’s a perfect place to relax after work. Parking can be a bit limited at times, but overall it’s a lovely and comfortable area to live in.

Very very poor, the Gm is useless and simply needs to change
