North East London may not receive as much attention as its more glamorous neighbours. However, this buzzing corner of the capital is attracting plenty of property hunters right now… Great value homes? Check. Top schools? Check. Diverse, lively culture? Check and check. Developers have transformed swathes of North East London in recent years, with Walthamstow and Leyton in particular welcoming a new generation of renters and buyers into a varied selection of sleek new homes.
Great development with responsive management
Local area is really great with plently of green spaces for walking (Wetlands, canal), a wide range of nearby shops (Tesco, Coop, international supermarket, High street, pharmacies etc) and close transport connections.
Please review your development:
The development is great: good design and quality, Samsung appliances in the kitchen, modern bathrooms, nice common area for co-working and relaxing, and ammenities such as gym, pool and tennis pitch. There is also reception and dedicated parcel room, which makes life much easier.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Inspect the water pipes near the mains valve (stop cock) if you can – it failed after five years, but there might have been signs before that.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We recently had a water leak in the flat due to a discloated pipe while we were on holiday. Luckily the bulding management team reacted very quickly to mitigate the damage. They stopped leak immediately after noticing it, collected the water, moved our affected possessions in safe areas, and started the drying process. They also fixed the pipe while we were away, and when we returned the flat was pretty much back to normal. Huge thanks to Toye, Robert and colleagues for their quick and professional reaction!
