Stylish and warm development in heart of Stratford

The FOH team has been fantastic, warm and genuinely helpful. Nkem, Tyron, Bridget and Jhari have made us feel at home since the day we moved in. The leasing and referencing process was a bit confusing, but everything since move-in has been lovely. The development itself is thoughtful and stylish, with the sleek and modern feel of a new build while still having unique character, standing out from the other buildings in East Village.

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

The area has plenty to do and is in an extremely convenient location, right outside Westfield and a one-minute walk from Stratford International DLR station. With the windows closed, you barely notice the traffic noise. It gives you a city-living feel without sitting on a busy road, and the surrounding neighbourhood still feels residential. Best of both worlds

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

Maintenance requests are dealt with promptly and easily requested through the residents portal. Third party contractors take a little longer especially if specific parts need to be ordered.

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

The leasing process can be a bit confusing and slow, so it's worth allowing extra time and following up each step with the leasing team.

The move in process with Yasmin was great, since then, we have been here around two months. We’re very happy with the building in general, the residents are nice and it is a clean block with a nice feel. Maintenance have been great and very helpful dealing with our issues. There are no issues in the local area and new facilities are popping up all the time. The main and rather annoying fault of this development is the communal hot water system. It is quite simply, crap. There are often times where there’s no hot water, or it will cut out and then cut back on when you’ve given up. I don’t think it’s managed by the fizzy team but it is what they’re using to supply residents and it frankly isn’t suitable. It’s also ruinously expensive at a little over twice the cost of a private supply - which is disappointing as for double the money, you’d expect it to reliably work. Overall, very good block, very good team, very nice homely feel - awful hot water infrastructure. Would recommend.

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

We have been here a few months now and love the area, it is supremely placed with easy access to the tube and bus station.

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

All maintenance issues have been dealt with quickly and efficiently.

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

Could have done with being shown how the heating works as it’s not self-explanatory, but it was the height of a heatwave summer so I can understand why it wasn’t - I figured it out with the help of AI in the end.

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

My experience is quite positive. It is extremely convenient. We are minutes away from all the groceries, like Lidl, Morrison and Sainsburys, also Tiantian the Asian supermarket. Not mentioning, few tubes away from Stratford, North Greenwich and Canary wharf.

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

Honestly, the repair is too speedy, now that I've moved, I just cannot get the same treatment anymore, very sad.

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

Just the annual rent increase, besides that its fine.
