Design plays a crucial role in the overall appeal and functionality of a property. A well-thought-out design should optimize space utilization, incorporate ergonomic elements, and promote a pleasing aesthetic. It should also consider sustainability and energy efficiency, integrating eco-friendly features and materials.

Facilities are essential for providing a comfortable and convenient environment for occupants. These may include amenities such as fitness centers, swimming pools, communal spaces, and parking facilities. The quality and maintenance of these amenities are vital in ensuring resident satisfaction.

Effective building management is vital for smooth operations. This includes efficient security systems, regular maintenance protocols, and timely repairs. A proactive approach to building management can help prevent issues and address concerns promptly, fostering a safe and pleasant living or working environment.

Property management involves overseeing the day-to-day operations of a property. This encompasses tasks such as rent collection, tenant communication, lease management, and property maintenance. A competent property management team ensures that residents’ needs are met, addressing any concerns promptly and maintaining the value of the property.

To excel in these areas, it is crucial to have a clear communication channel between the property management team, building management, and residents. Open lines of communication allow for effective problem-solving, efficient coordination, and a sense of community.

Overall, a well-designed property with excellent facilities, efficient building management, and competent property management can create a desirable living or working environment. These aspects are interconnected and require continuous attention to ensure resident satisfaction and the long-term success of the property.

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

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

they have responded by taking care of the issue immediately and not leaving resident waiting for days for problems to be solved.

Atrium point is a good transformation of a building that was once used for corporate offices, the remnants can be seen in the grounds.
External grounds could use a revamp but the building itself is well looked after, with a welcoming reception, limited concierge service, bike storage facilities (not sure if covered by cctv) and a courtyard (the atrium) which is nice but projects every conversation.

Good flat, although in some flats the designers thought it was better to have a second door leading to balcony/ patio rather than a window which is not ideal for the summer, particularly if you live on lower levels as it’s not safe to keep the door open all night. The glazing on the windows could be better, depending on location in the block you can hear traffic and other outside noise.Apart from these no issues with the design, lots of light coming into flat, nice functional kitchen with decent appliances and a good bathroom.

Friendly and competent Handyman on site so basic repairs are often completed same day if lucky or within 48 hours at latest

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

A relatively quiet area, very close to the Grand Union Canal and parks. There’s a few good pugs close by but not much else in the way of entertainment so you’ll have to travel a short distance for that.

The area has good links into central London, served by the Piccadilly line which is 2 mins walk from Atrium Point and the Central line which is a short bus ride or 15-20 mins walk. Although sometimes particularly late night it can be a long wait to get trains to and from Sudbury Hill station.

No obvious issues with crime or anti social behaviour in the area. Occasionally street drinkers but no big issues that I’ve noticed.

Iceland and other smaller stores are a few mins walk away along with an award winning chippy, Turkish, Persian Indian, pizza and other fast food outlets. A decent selection but could be better.

The West Cross regal park is a short walk or bus ride away and has a range of shopping outlets including; Lidl, M&S, TK Max, Next, Sports Direct, McDonalds and Nandos. Greenford Quay a new development close by has a Starbucks and many new food outlets and a co-op are set to open soon.

Parking in surrounding streets is without restrictions in the evening.

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

Probably quieter on higher floors, plus I bet the views are decent.

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

Yes very good when issues are raised and they approach with an attitude wanting to resolve.

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

Thé area is very goo, close to central London and we have a train station near by. There are a lot of shops so you don’t need to go far to get what you need. Good schools around the area as well as gym.

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

How do they deal with raise issues and how they respond to any matter

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

Not great no communication and you need to chase everything you raise

The biggest problem is the water quality, it’s EXTREMELY hard, to the point where it goes off the scale of a testing kit I used. It dries the skin of myself and my partner out instantly meaning we have to use large amounts of moisturiser to even mostly counteract it. My skin is irritated at all times. They need to do something about this and I’m surprised more people aren’t complaining about it.

The main problem with my flat (despite being on the 8th floor) is that bridges that access parts of the building look into my bedroom, kitchen and living room. So I’m always on display for passers by, this was pretty awkward so I had to buy privacy film for all of my windows. Now I can’t really see out of any of them which is a little claustrophobic but better than making eye contact with strangers as I get dressed.

Last complaint is that other tenants seem to be unable to walk 1 minute around the corner to the other bin room when the main one is full. This leads to people just throwing rubbish bags all over the floor when the main bins are full, it’s pretty gross and means the building staff and bin collectors need to clean up after them every time. This has happened consistently since I moved in.

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

Access to tube stations, busses and shops is great. There’s less to do when it comes to cinemas, bars and restaurants but you don’t need to go too far to find things.

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

The water quality being poor and extremely hard, that would make me think twice.

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

When I’ve asked about replacement parts in the past they’ve given me the details of the people I need to contact for them. It’d be nice for them to handle those things directly but it’s not too bad.
