Living in Ability Place grants you access to great transport links and a great selection of nearby shops both on Milliharbour and in the nearby Canary Wharf.

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

Incompetent. I was visited by a hordes of repairmen almost once a week for my entire stay in the apartment with no repairs being able to be fully completed during my entire tenancy.

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

The apartments are incredibly badly ventilated. No need for heating during winter, I suppose.

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

Bought my apartment in Ability Place back in 2010 straight from the developer. The area was nice but has improved so much more in the last 5 years especially. Transport is fabulous and there are so many excellent shops/bars and restaurants within a 15 mins walk. We have a toddler and a dog and so many places are child and dog friendly. There is also a fabulous nursery right next door and a great private school too.

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

Not really had many issues in last 11 years and any I did have were sorted pretty quickly

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

Choose an apartment on the water front wing like I did. Also no cladding problems with this building which is great news!

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

Currently free parking outside but we have purchased a space in the secure underground car park in the basement of the building. Local pub on the river is a 5 min walk. 2 min walk to Tesco metro. 12 minute walk into canary walk with loads of amenities and great transport links. Can be a little noisy in summer outside the building.

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

We had an issue with a leaky pipe that was building’s responsibility. Took a bit of time trying to get a contractor in so we paid for the works ourselves and then received a refund on the total cost from building management
