Considering Moving Back — Exceptional Management & Great Location

Mohammed Khan (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Abbeville Apartments, IG11

Mar 2026

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

There are plenty of local shops and supermarkets nearby, including ASDA, which is only a short walk away. Transport links are excellent, with frequent buses and easy access to major routes, making commuting simple. The neighbourhood is generally calm, with good parking availability and reliable bin collections. I rarely experienced any anti‑social behaviour or noise disturbances, which made the area feel safe and comfortable. After moving away, I realised just how convenient this location was, and I am genuinely considering returning.

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

The building management team were consistently responsive and supportive whenever I raised an issue. Whether it was a small request or something that needed urgent attention, Mohammed and Hassan always handled it promptly and professionally. They communicated updates clearly and followed through until the issue was resolved. Their level of service was exceptional and one of the main reasons I enjoyed living in the development for 3 years.

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

I wish I had known just how well‑managed and comfortable the development was before moving in. After living here for 3 years and then relocating to a different place, the difference became very clear. The convenience of the location, the excellent management team, and the overall quality of the building are things I truly appreciate in hindsight. Knowing this earlier would have made the decision to move in even easier—and it’s why I am now considering returning.

Great Property with Poor management

Saurabh (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Dandi Wembley, HA9

Mar 2026

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

There are many local stores to buy from including Tesco, Saintsbury and off licences. It is very convenient to travel as it is just 10 mins walk to nearest underground station and bus station is 2 mins walk. Bin collection is very poor and there are rats in and around the bin all the time. There is no parking facility in the building.

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

Yes, and it takes them ages to come back to you. It took 3 months to fix essential issues like heating not working in extreme cold weather in winters.

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

The utility bills are excessive, and wish they mentioned earlier that for a studio an average bill would be £100 ..!

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

This is a beautiful, comfortable and safe community.There are some local shops, restaurants, bars & open spaces.It is easy to reach many places in central London.

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

Mickey, Atikah and the Tenancy Team are very helpful. I really appreciate about their support. They are not only highly professional but also very friendly. They can patiently help me figure out solutions to the problems I encounter. This has made my life here much easier and more enjoyable, and has also enabled me to focus more on my college studies.

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

I would like to know if it's possible to find a cleaning staff who can come and clean my flat at regular intervals? Of course, I will cover the cost of cleaning.

Fortunes Dock, E16

Mar 2026

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

The location in Canning Town is a real advantage—being right next to the station makes commuting extremely convenient. There are also great grocery options nearby, including Morrisons and Lidl, along with plenty of good restaurants, so everything you need is close by. It’s a very well-connected and convenient area to live in. The only drawback is that apartments facing the main road can experience quite a bit of noise, especially when the balcony doors are open, which is something to keep in mind.

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

Yes, they have an app on which we can raise issues and they respond through it

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

I just wished i would have noticed the noise on opening the balcony doors before

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

Really love living in Wembley Park as it has everything you need. It's super easy for me to get work in central London, and I appreciate how safe it is when there are events on. It is noisier than most areas, but that is expected and not a problem for me. The building is very well sound proofed!

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

We've had a couple of pest and kitchen leak issues, but both were resolved fully and promptly. Have not had any issues with building management - they do a thorough job.

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

How much is miss the place when I leave! There's nothing else to add here.
