Linkcity Reviews

“Linkcity in conjunction with the London Borough of Newham present Hallsville Quarter, a new development in East London’s Canning Town. It forms part of the GBP3.7billion regeneration project that’s taking place in that area of the capital, which will result in an exciting and thriving new quarter. Hallsville Quarter will not only create a mixed-used community with shops and leisure activities, it will also provide 1,100 new residential properties and affordable housing. There’s also a shared landscape garden for residents to enjoy, which is especially handy for families looking for outdoor space close to their homes. The price per square foot for this development is around GBP644, just slightly over the average for the E16 postcode of GBP554.” – HomeViews Property Pro on Hallsville Quarter

Good location, but requires improvement.

The development has a large communal garden which is hard yo find in London. Unfortunately the bins are underground and fill up very fast, also the truck that empties this bins breaks down often and the local council only has one truck that can collect underground bins, so we just have to wait for the truck to be fixed while the bins are overflowing and smelly.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

There are a variety of shops around the development, there is a large Morrisons store just under the flats. And many coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance.

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

I would look into how safe the area is, find out about crime rate around the development.

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

Building management often don’t answer calls. But when they do answer they try their best to help.

Worst Property Management company

Service charge for a 2 bedroom flat more than doubled since the purchase in 04/2018 to £338/month in 04/2023! No receipts or details are ever given to residents about how this money is spent. After many complains from a majority of residents about the unjustified increases in service charge, One Housing made a few “paybacks” for 2018-2019 without explaining what they did wrong to calculate in the past. After a flooding the buildings were evacuated in October 2022 and the whole ordeal was very poorly managed, some people ending up homeless in the middle of the night with hotel promises unfulfilled.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Mobile phones robberies are a daily occurrence. Cycle store was broken into 2 times in 2 weeks with over 50no. stolen.

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

I wish I knew how incompetent One Housing was so I can avoid them

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

They don’t respond usually, and when they do the people handling the issues have no clue or try to push the responsibility on other companies.

Excellent location and facilities – maintenance is great, although property management could improve

The design is great, and the flat is brilliant. There has been a good coverage on most services at all times, although through the pandemic the gym has been closed, and the concierge had to close for a couple of months. I’d say that repairs and building maintenance issues are fixed extremely quickly – some of the property management is disappointing, I had one issue that took seven months to respond to… but is now being addressed. Pre pandemic there were tons of activities, trips, and quizzes, which was great – and there’s been a good attempt to keep things going virtually.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The property is very well located, directly opposite Canning Town station – literally 30 seconds – and there is a morrisons and a 24 gym next door, in addition to the gym inside the building. There’s a Costa coffee at the station, and an Ibis next door with a full bar downstairs. Obviously a lot of this is limited during covid, but generally good.

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

It’s good to know you can get to the Morrison’s undercover through the car park when it’s raining

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

The building management has been responsive to all maintenance services; and indeed all issues – except where it comes to disputes over fees, and this is what took seven months to be addressed

Great place to live, great future value

Area is ok, up and coming , not that many things at the moment to do, but will change in the future. Great location for getting around london. Close to canary wharf and Stratford. Building management are good and care about the tenants.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Can be a bit dodgy if you travel farther east. Some pickpockets operate in the area.

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

That the shops weren’t going to iron up until way later.
