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

I’ve lived in Leicester all my life, therefore I know the area well, The Wullcomb is in close proximity to many of the bars, restaurants, shops and theatres. The local parks are also within a short walking distance. Bus and transport routes from the location are also a short walking distance. In terms of antisocial behaviour, The Wullcomb is a concierge managed building; and in the 6 years at the location personally have not come across any issues.

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

Any issues I have raised have been dealt with in a timely manner via the resident portal app.

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

N/a as I was well advised of all required information prior to moving in.

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

Absolutely love living here and as a young girl living independently feel safe and secure. Always someone on hand to contact if I ever need it. My parcels are always taken in safely which is so helpful.

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

Yes. I have had minimal problems but washing machine, smoke detectors and a broken toilet were attended to quickly and efficiently.

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

Nothing to report. The only possible thing would be that sometimes it is difficult for visitors to park.

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

The location offers outstanding convenience, with seamless access to transport options. Residents benefit from the proximity of the Victoria Line, as well as the bus station, both situated right at their doorstep. This ease of connectivity ensures efficient travel to various destinations across London. Situated in the vibrant centre of Walthamstow, the area boasts a diverse selection of local amenities. There is an extensive array of shops, restaurants, supermarkets, and bars within walking distance, providing residents with everything they need for daily living and leisure. During the daytime, there is generally a high volume of traffic in the area. However, as the day progresses, this activity tends to decrease, resulting in a much quieter environment by the evening. This reduction in traffic flow during the later hours does not present any issues for us and is considered manageable.

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

Upon moving into the property, we encountered an issue with the hot water supply. This problem was promptly reported to the building management. The process for reporting the issue was straightforward and uncomplicated, making it easy to communicate our concerns. The building management team responded quickly and efficiently. They were excellent in their communication, keeping us informed throughout the process. Thanks to their prompt attention, the hot water issue was resolved in a timely manner, ensuring minimal disruption to our move-in experience.

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

During our initial viewing, the showroom apartment featured downlighters installed beneath the kitchen cupboards. This detail contributed positively to the overall lighting and ambience of the kitchen area. However, upon moving into our own apartment, we noticed that these downlighters were not present. It is unclear whether this omission was an oversight, as there is a switch in the kitchen specifically intended for these lights. Despite the presence of the switch, the downlighters themselves were not fitted. This difference between the showroom and the actual apartment raised questions regarding the installation and whether it was intended to be included.
