Excellent connections to go virtually anywhere in London. Even during tube strikes or other travel disruptions there is always a relatively easy way to get to where I need to go. Great range of shops in the local area and several nice park within walking distance.

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

Response times for issues are always quick, and maintenance requests with the units are taken very seriously. With changes in staff there has been some confusion about access authorisations for family members and our cleaner, but this was resolved after a few reminders.

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

If you are a very light and early sleeper you may need earplugs to sleep on some Fridays and Saturdays in the east-facing units due to the Glue Factory being quite close to some bedroom windows. Higher floors of the building get very hot in summer unless the comfort cooling units are used, which can quickly add to your quarterly utility bill. The rooftop will be your friend groups’ favourite summer destination for a barbecue!

Range of grocery stores and pubs is fabulous- not far from Victoria Park/ London Fields for an open space. Both tube stations a short walk away. Traffic noise from the overground train is loud with windows open but triple glazing when they are shut means you can’t hear any street noise

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

Speedy service! We had a few queries when we first moved in and they were dealt with quickly. Very easy to raise concerns and get things sorted when needed.

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

I wish I had known just how dusty the apartment can get. We’re still unsure whether it’s due to the nearby railway tracks or something else, but our floors are constantly covered in debris and dust- hoping in the coming Winter months we will see an improvement with our windows/doors being closed.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The area is nice but there are a lot of tourists, and there is quite a lot of phone theft in the area. Otherwise it’s a beautiful place to live and right near the markets and park.

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

Very swift to reply, never any issues or back and fourths when something naturally breaks from wear and tear and always helpful when we needed a new appliance or if something was faulty. Couldn’t fault the service at alls

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

I really cannot think of anything the team was very transparent before we moved in.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

We live in a flat that is right in front of the bus stop and in a very central area, with a lot of pubs and restaurants around. This means that, especially on weekends, we have a lot of noise after midnight. Drunk people in the streets screaming, sometimes we can hear them even with the windows closed, so it is kind of upsetting in the summer, because we cannot close the windows, otherwise the house gets too hot. Other than that, we have everything around, pharmacies, a "mini-mall", a supermarket, a train station, parks, it is really good to leave her.

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

They always had a solution, and they were fast in helping with everything we needed.

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

Bad thing: The noise of drunk people in the streets at night, for the flats facing the central street. Good thing: the maintenance service is included; we just have to schedule an appointment, and their service provider will come to help.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Berkshire House is slap bang in the middle of the High street, so easy and close access to all the shops you need and to many restaurants and takeaway places is right on your doorstep, in fact Greggs is literally downstairs! There is a Bus Stop right outside the front of the building and the train station is an 8 minute (flat) walk away. One downside to the location is the noise and anti-social behaviour generated from the pubs that are literally across and down the road. Weekends especially are very noisy, and the live bands at the Maidens Head on Saturday's mean you need to close all windows to hear your television, if you are facing the Windsor side. However, if you are on the Windsor side on a higher floor, there are great views to be had from the building.

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

Quickly and efficiently with all raised physical issues being dealt with in a very professional and timely manner.

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

Try to get an apartment on the 'dark side', which is facing Windsor and London, as the heat in the summer on the other side is uncompromising, with the floor to ceiling windows facing South/South West.
