I rated 4 stars because the building is right in front of the Victoria tube and the train to Liverpool street. So to get to work and to the city it’s quickly and it’s very convenient! However around the area there isn’t much to do.

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

Yes, always . No issue has not been attended to. Happy overall

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

I made sure I was aware of everything, nothing I didn’t qualify before moving in

Living in this area is very convenient and enjoyable. There’s a great range of local shops, restaurants, bars and entertainment nearby, with lots of good food options and places to socialise. It’s also only a short walk into the city centre, which offers even more to do and see, from shopping and dining to cultural attractions and nightlife. The canals are close by and the reservoir isn’t far either, which is nice for walks and some green space away from the city. Transport links are excellent, with a tram stop right outside near a large Morrisons, plenty of bus routes, and easy access to e-bikes and scooters, making it very easy to get around. I have my own parking space so parking isn’t an issue. The street can be a bit noisy at times due to traffic and the occasional siren, but that’s fairly typical for city living and not a major problem.

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

I haven’t needed to raise any problems, as the building is well maintained. Management communicate clearly and keep residents informed in advance about any scheduled maintenance or works.

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

I don’t think there’s anything I wish I’d known in advance, but I’d recommend making use of the shared social spaces and facilities early on, as they’re a great part of the building and help it feel like home quickly.

The Eades is located in a very close proximity to Walthamstow central bus and tube station. It's also very close to the shopping mall, high street and Hoe street. There is no shortage of places to shop and eat. Walthamstow central is also home to forest cinema and soho theatre which are in walking distance of the Eades. The closest parking would be in the mall which is just next door.

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

The building management are always very quick and efficient at responding to and resolving any issues I've had since moving in.

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

I was very surprised and impressed with the garden terrace on the 2nd floor as it wasn't clear to me before moving in that there was an outdoor space on the 2nd floor, I thought there was only the rooftop terrace which is lovely but the garden terrace just makes it even better as there are BBQ's for hire with many seating areas, It's nice to have an outdoor space within the building to enjoy in the warmer months.

Beautifully decorated residence with great facilities (gym, yoga studio, roof top terrace) that is a close walk to the tube / train station. Close to retail park with grocery stores and chain shops. Street is relatively quiet - can hear traffic through the windows (we face the street). Overall good value.

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

Quick - resolved issues within an 1hr. We moved in and requested the second bed be removed - when we arrived it wasn't but this was quickly corrected. Though we haven't heard anything back about a maintanence request we placed with the app. Our dishwasher isn't working and no one's gotten back to us.

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

Wish it had of been clear that we had to pay utitilies + council tax ontop of everything. Didn't get a face to face induction so we had to figure things out ourselves which given the price - it would have been nice to have someone walk us through everything.

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

Easy access to city centre. Now there is a sainburys near by which is ideal. I was fortunate enough to get a parking space so that is handy, and usually there is space for guest parking but sometimes it is an issue. However there is paid parking around the corner.

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

Yes they have fixed my issues. Easy to raise problems within the application. Would be nice to be informed of the outcome. (e.g. washing machine was broken and I wasn't entirely certain when the work had been completed)

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

No i dont really have anything which I wish I had known before moving in.
