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

The building management has been very responsive whenever I’ve raised an issue. It’s really convenient to submit requests through the platform, and they usually reply very quickly. Stuart has been especially helpful – he came to check our maintenance request first thing on Monday morning and arranged for a contractor the same day. The issue was resolved by the following morning, which was impressively fast.

The management team always responds quickly. For example, when our washing machine door broke, a technician (Stuart) came promptly and solved the issue in one visit. Their communication is also very clear.
