I have encountered many issues in my flat over the past year and a half and it has been a struggle to get these issues resolved quickly and thus leaves many points of improvement for the property management. However, the site itself is cleaned regularly and kept well. A mayor plus point to the development are the balconies. They are spacious and designed verg nicely. However, the outside windows could be washed a little more often through the property management, instead of once a year. The design of the building is clean and recognisable for for example deliveries and parcels being delivered wrong is very rare, which is great! Besides being gated and offering a lift the building does not offer any other facilities such as parking or ground floor parcel/mail lockers.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Range of available shops/restaurants and bars is great! Stratford Westfield is about an 8 minute walk and offers a wide range or stores and restaurants. In addition, transport links are incredible as the DLR as at the end of the street and the nearest tube stations are both about an 8/10 minute walk away as well! The bins provided are plenty for the entire development and are emptied often, which is an absolute plus as a clean living space is so important. However, the neighbourhood itself is a bit of a down side to the development. There is no on-site parking. One will have to pay for a yearly parking permit for street or nearby parking spaces parking which is a shame but do-able. Another down side is the occurrence of anti-social behaviour encountered in the area. During the evenings and warmer months of the year this is especially prominent. However, no vandalism occurs in the neighbourhood which is a definite plus!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The neighbourhood is not the greatest. I wish I had known about the occurrence of anti-social behaviour in the neighbourhood as this is really one of my biggest issues with the development.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I had to wait a year for a water pressure issues to be fixed. This has really taken away my standard of living in the flat as well as the comfort and pleasure I had when first moving in. Often took long to get things arranged and I often did not hear anything unless chasing management myself.
