Best building managers and staff in a unique building and living experience

Michelle (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Balfron Tower, E14

Dec 2024

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

The area is quite quiet and residential with a small high street and local restaurants and shops. Though there’s not much in the surrounding areas, it’s only a short train or bus ride away from Stratford and Canary Wharf which offer more lively shopping and restaurant options.

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

The building management have been fantastic and prompt to any issues that have arisen. The delays in repairs seem to be due to the external contractors.

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

The council tax is rather high and there are several maintenance issues with our unit that could have been addressed before we moved in when the flat was vacant

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

The development is very modern, and it’s just a short bus ride to Canary Wharf and Stratford. Everything I need is just a short bus ride away.

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

The team has been very responsive and supportive. They made the move very smooth.

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

The management has shared a lot of supportive documents, but that can be overwhelming. Simplistic instructions will help. Thanks

Lyons Dock at Greenford Quay, UB6

Dec 2024

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

Beautiful countryside views and lovely walks very calm, quiet and peaceful thankfully. Lovely gardens that look beautiful all year round.

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

Vitul is always helpful and friendly and prompt with maintenance. Junaid responded straight away when I mentioned some dog mess and had it cleaned. Also it was brought up by Management at Town Hall meeting. He dealt with it himself when the cleaning team were off duty and had gone home. Also, Management also mentioned keeping communal areas clean and tidying and ensuring the garbage areas are clean and rubbish bags or household items and boxes are not left on the floor. All the reception staff in general are helpful and find ways to help and support me.

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

I am still waiting for my Greenford Quay Designer Shopping Bag!

There’s so much to see and do in KX, we love it here. Easy access to the City and most shops are pet friendly.

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

My apartment was experiencing a significant heating issue that disrupted our living conditions. The facilities manager Amir responded promptly to our service request and took immediate action to address the problem. His professionalism, efficiency, and courteous demeanor were exemplary. He kept us informed throughout the process and ensured minimal disruption. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, the issue was resolved quickly and effectively. His commitment to providing excellent service is truly commendable and reflects that of the whole team in Author.
