The location is good as the underground station is just across the road, but the noise level can be very loud with emergency services serines ringing late at night. General hygiene around the property can be improved as the wear and tear are very high. There were the serious issue with insects coming through the windows facing A10 during the summer which has not been resolved by the service management team. I have to take action as to install insect netting at the window to allow the window can remain open without insects flying in. The high turnover rate for the service team can be tiresome for tenants as items can be missed or not follow up and pro-actively feedback to the tenants. All the facilities are functioning well within the apartment and sufficient. Maybe property management can consider to accommodate tenant request for different type of bed mattress for the long stay tenants as correct type or firmness mattresses can be the minimum factor that would affect the sleep quality.

The repair apps is majorly disappointing and also with the repair contractor quality need to improve heavily. More pro-active with feedback required for follow up with issue raised by tenants can ease the tenants’ worry.

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

There maybe some noise issues around the property at night and weekend with the busy main road (A10) that maybe sensitive with certain type of tenants that should be mentioned during the site inspection.
