I love living here

Anchor Works, CF10

Oct 2026

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

100/10 recommend a stay here. The building is brand new and staff are sooo accommodating and lovely. Katrina was the person who showed me around the place. She answered all my questions and was incredible throughout the process. She then kept helping me with the move and settling in and now I consider her smile part of my day to day to have a good day overall. Thank you soooo much!

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

Solved instantly and the people are really sweet. I had some issues with my shower water temperature when I first moved in and they accommodated straight away. I cannot complain at all.

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

Needed a trip to IKEA for furniture to start with. Apart from that no complaints at all.

There is the range and quality of local shops, restaurants, bars & open spaces in Ilford. Transport is really good.

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

We had a pleasure to meet Paul first day when we have been moving in, and he helped us with the furniture. We had to put together wardrobe and he's done so quick. I just called him on the phone and within couple of minutes he's been in our flat to help us out. Outstanding service! Thank you Paul.

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

Parking is bit frustrating but parking lot is around the corner.

Perfect Location

Aquifer House, IG1

Oct 2026

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

There are developments that simply give you somewhere to live, and then there are developments where the little details make everyday life easier. For me, Aquifer House falls into the second category. Ilford gives the development plenty of life on its doorstep. Having shopping, places to eat and everyday services in the surrounding area is extremely useful, and I enjoy having the activity of Ilford outside while being able to return to the more private environment of Aquifer House.

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

One person who deserves his own paragraph is Maintenance Paul. He's a real asset to Aquifer House. Maintenance can easily be overlooked when everything is working, but when you actually need help, having somebody reliable makes all the difference. Paul is approachable, professional and genuinely helpful. He responds to issues with a positive attitude and makes residents feel that their concerns matter. His contribution to keeping the development running smoothly deserves recognition.

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

Aquifer House combines the convenience of Ilford with the benefits of a modern residential development. The facilities are a big plus, but it's also the people working within the building, particularly Maintenance Paul, who can turn a development into somewhere that genuinely feels like home.
