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

Lots of supermarkets nearby meaning there is a variety of places to shop ranging from local grocery stores to big stores such as sainsbury and lidl. Most fast food places nearby, also restaurants like italian or turkish. Very convenient for public transportation, near a train station and a few bus stops nearby as well. Building had own bin store and parkung lot so it’s all managed by them.

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

Had a blocked pipe in my sink/dishwasher and stuart the maintenance guy, together with his colleague, quickly and efficiently unblocked it. Very friendly and quick.

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

Sounds of train are loud if living on lower floors but i got used to it

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

The local area could benefit from more restaurants and bars. However overall it’s very well catered for. Transport links are excellent. There’s plenty on the doorstep and shops within walking distance aswell as green spaces

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

Very promptly. The only thing that was here when we originally moved in which has since been out of service is the bbq area

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

You know those tourist maps you get in hotels that have local sights to see. That would be great. We didn’t properly discover the wetlands or Walthamstow villlage until 18 months in by chance
