Only the location is good. Bins are always full. Sometimes the bin area is open, and strangers come and go and dig into the bins.

The ladies at reception tried their best, but there were loads of problems to deal with.

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

Electricity is going to be a big part of the monthly bills. If you find better other places , think twice if you want to rent here.

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

Gilders Yard is in a convenient location with local busses on the doorstep, a Tesco across the street and a Go Local next door. The Church Pub is warm and friendly and it’s just a quick walk to the heart of the Jewellery Quarter with lovely restaurants. It would be ideal if there was a traffic light at the corner as it’s quite difficult to cross the street during rush hour and busy times of the day.

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

I have had a few minor issues with appliances. The staff has been exceptional in addressing them.

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

I needed to do my viewing virtually as I was moving from out of town. It was managed quite well I don’t think I would have any additional recommendations.

Living at Abbeville Apartments has been a positive experience overall. The development is modern, well maintained and has useful amenities including a gym, resident lounge and communal spaces, which help create a friendly community feel. The location is very convenient, with Barking Station only a short walk away, making it easy to get into Central London or Canary Wharf. There are plenty of local shops, supermarkets, cafés and restaurants nearby, and having Asda next door is especially useful for day-to-day shopping. The area is lively and multicultural, with good access to parks and open spaces nearby. Transport links are one of the strongest points, although trains and buses can become crowded during rush hour. Like many busy London areas, there can occasionally be traffic noise on the main roads and parking spaces are sometimes limited. Bin collections are generally reliable and the building management is responsive, though the surrounding high street can feel busy at weekends. Overall, it’s a convenient place to live with strong transport connections and good local amenities.

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

The building management team has generally responded promptly and professionally to any issues raised. Mohammed, Samson and Hassan have all been particularly helpful, approachable and responsive when dealing with maintenance requests or resident concerns. Communication is usually clear throughout the process, and most issues are resolved within a reasonable timeframe.

One thing I wish I had known before moving into Abbeville Apartments is how busy the surrounding area can feel during peak commuting times, especially around Barking Station and the nearby high street. The transport links are excellent and very convenient, but trains and buses can get crowded during rush hour. I would also recommend checking parking arrangements early if you own a car, as spaces can be limited for both residents and visitors. On the positive side, the sense of community within the building is better than expected, and the resident facilities such as the gym and lounge are genuinely useful. The on-site staff, including Mohammed, Samson and Hassan, are approachable and helpful, which makes settling in and dealing with any issues much easier.
