Get Living

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

There’s basically no transport links, closest tram is Deansgate. There’s a nearby train station but it’s at least a 10 minute walk so be mindful of that.

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

Very very slow in responding to issues or they don’t respond at all. When you do get a response it’s the bare minimum and the office staff can be quite rude.

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

How many issues there would be. We have had constant hot water issues for almost two years and several other issues with people smoking and smoking grass in the building.

Amazing range of shops and restaurants being in the Olympic village area with access to Hackney Wick and Stratford depending on what you prefer. Transport links to Stratford are great and the area around the Olympic village felt very safe generally.

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

They would respond on the day itself that I’d raised issues via the app usually, extremely prompt service.

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

Look at where the building is located, not a bad thing for all but some blocks back on to communal gardens which can be noisy where kids are playing. Ours was facing the main road and quite high up so not an issue personally.

Living in E20 is genuinely convenient - you can walk to Stratford and Stratford International in minutes, with loads of buses and quick links across London. Westfield is close for supermarkets, gyms and essentials. It is busy at peak times and you will hear traffic and occasional event noise, but overall it feels safe and well lit.

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

Very fast and friendly - getliving maintenance team usually resolve things on the same or next day!

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

The flat can get very warm as the buildings are really well insulated! But this is a good thing

Near Manchester city center and aviva, 10 min walk. Sainsbury’s and gym a 5 min walk. Best location place so far for me

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

They usually reply and help, though sometimes I get no answer to less urgent issues.

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

How the post works (no reception, you have to go to mailroom on another building) and the fact that you can’t open some doors from your interfone so you need to go downstairs to let people in.

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

Great area, close to the city centre. Cafe and bar on sight are amazing. Sainsburys and other shops very close.

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

Responded to all questions very quickly. Never had to report any problems.

On street parking is difficult at times. Can be a bit of a walk.
