Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The Eades is located in a very close proximity to Walthamstow central bus and tube station. It's also very close to the shopping mall, high street and Hoe street. There is no shortage of places to shop and eat. Walthamstow central is also home to forest cinema and soho theatre which are in walking distance of the Eades. The closest parking would be in the mall which is just next door.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management are always very quick and efficient at responding to and resolving any issues I've had since moving in.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I was very surprised and impressed with the garden terrace on the 2nd floor as it wasn't clear to me before moving in that there was an outdoor space on the 2nd floor, I thought there was only the rooftop terrace which is lovely but the garden terrace just makes it even better as there are BBQ's for hire with many seating areas, It's nice to have an outdoor space within the building to enjoy in the warmer months.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The transport links are very convenient, literally within less than 5mins away door to door and the tube gets you to central London in less than 30mins. There is a range of grocery shops nearby. There is no parking, but the bicycle storage is secure and with plenty of spaces.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management goes absolutely above and beyond when answering queries. They genuinely want to make sure everyone feels at home at the Eades. They also organise social events for the tenants which is a lovely initiative.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The free internet is capped at 20 mbps, but you can easily upgrade to a higher speed.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Sutton is a nice neighbourhood and to me is close to work, so makes everyday life easier. There are nice restaurants, shops and some green areas around, so very welcoming and friendly environment.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Stuart was extremely efficient as always. Resolved the request in no time, he is friendly, competent and very helpful with any maintenance problems.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing to state here for now as there is not anything I wished I knew before moving in. I lived in Sutton few years ago, so I knew the area.
