I had raised a couple of minor glitches which the management responded to very quickly

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Excellent transport link. Good Asian shopping but no good general shopping. Nearest good shopping is Westfield Stratford which is a journey by Elizabeth Line.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Received excellent customer service from Shift Property Manager, Sayeed. I mentioned to him about a minor fault with a curtain in our flat. Sayeed came up with me to the fiat and fixed that minor fault straight away. Thanks Sayeed for your help.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Very noisy traffic on the street. Most of the drivers coming into side street from the main road, going towards Sainsbury’s parking, do not indicate. This is a serious hazard for pedestrians trying to cross the road,

The area is fabulous, super close to the tube, safe and great for families. Not enough parking, but overall fantastic.

I haven't raised any issues yet so this hasn't applied.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It is right outside a victoria line tube station so it is easy to get in and out of the area. There isn't much built around it - only has a few small shops and cafes. You will need to travel to go grocery shopping properly.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
If something was broken the maintenance team were quick and helpful to fix. The management team are unhelpful and do drag their feet a lot.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Look into the area more. If you want more things to do in the area maybe this is not the place for you as it is quite outside of london.

Hi, Thank you for your four-star review of Equipment Works. We are really glad to hear that you enjoyed the design and communal areas of the development, including the cinema room, workspaces, and courtyard. It is also great to know the maintenance team has been friendly and responsive when issues arise — we’ll make sure your kind words reach them. We appreciate your feedback regarding the management team, local area and pricing too. We took over the management of Equipment Works in December 2024 and are working hard to offer a great service to our residents so all feedback is warmly welcomed. The local neighbourhood has something for everyone within walking distance from us, including independent breweries, a climbing centre, a yoga school, the Walthamstow Wetlands – the perfect place for a walk and to connect with nature, and Walthamstow Market, which is open Tuesday to Saturday. We’re also a 2 minute walk from Blackhorse Road station and a 7 minute walk from Tottenham Hale station with access to direct trains into London and Stansted Airport. We are proud to be part of the Walthamstow community and all that it has to offer! If you have any further feedback, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at equipmentworks@ilivearound.com. Warm regards, Paul
