Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The transport links are great! I work in Walthamstow so its super easy for me on the tube, getting to Stratford and Liverpool Street is also very easy and convenient. The retail park is really close and handy, we have some small supermarkets but I think the area would benefit massively with and M&S foodhall and some other food vendors. The street is quiet and ive never felt unsafe
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We havent had any issues as of yet, but when I have requested info ive always gotten a quick polite response
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Ive heard that moving out can be an issue with the walls, but deal with that at a later date. Also concerned about price raising at some point

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The surrounding area is fine. It's well connected with a short walk through the DLR and train stations, so you have easy access to East London and Central London. You have quick access to a very large Tesco nearby and a large shopping centre, so most essentials you can get in a pretty short walk. Other than the necessities, I would say the area takes a little to be desired. There isn't too much to do in the local area, and it doesn't always feel particularly safe to walk around. There's a lot of litter in surrounding areas, and it's generally just not the best maintained.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
For general issues with the building, it would often take multiple days for things to be resolved. The issues that we had within the flat were mostly responded to. We often had to message multiple times to get them to actually come and have a look.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
If I'd have known how poorly managed the building was, I probably would never have moved in in the first place.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Alma is in a fantastic location with a wide range of shops, restaurants, cafés and bars all within walking distance. Transport links are excellent, with Aldgate East, Aldgate and Liverpool Street stations nearby, making it very convenient to travel across London. The street is generally lively but feels safe, and building management keeps communal areas and bin collections super well maintained.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management team has been responsive and helpful whenever I have raised an issue. Communication has generally been clear, and any concerns have been addressed in a timely and professional manner. Overall, I have found the management to be extremely friendly and committed to maintaining a positive living environment.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how busy and lively the area can be, especially during peak hours. While the location is extremely convenient with great transport links and amenities, the surrounding streets can sometimes feel quite fast-paced and noisy compared to what you might expect from a viewing. It’s not necessarily a negative, but it’s something worth being aware of before moving in so you know what to expect day to day.

Lovely property and services . Convenient location and seems like you are part of a luxurious accommodation
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes they are prompt with resolution of any issues we have encountered until now
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The paint is a big concern as we found out later that the management will charge exorbitant amounts for any wear and tear. Utility costs are also way higher.
