The landlord provides a home in a convenient location, making it easier to access local shops, services and transport. Good communication and prompt assistance with any concerns would make the overall renting experience even better.

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

The area is convenient and well connected, with shops, supermarkets, restaurants and other essential services nearby. Public transport makes it easy to travel around London, and there are also open spaces where residents can relax. The area is generally practical for everyday living. However, traffic can sometimes be noisy, and parking may be limited. Overall, it is a convenient place to live, with good access to local amenities and transport.

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

Lia, one of the building management team members, has been very helpful and supportive. I appreciate her kindness, professionalism and willingness to assist residents whenever needed. Her positive attitude makes a real difference and helps create a welcoming environment for everyone living in the development.

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

Building management should ensure that residents' concerns are taken seriously and that any maintenance issues are addressed as quickly as possible. Clear communication and regular updates help residents feel supported.

We have only just moved into the area but we're really enjoying it so far. We're very excited to go to the local market and have really enjoyed the experience of exploring the area. Hasan gave us some good recommendations for the local area when we were viewing the property, we're looking forward to exploring them!

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

We haven't had any issues so far as we've just moved in, we have been welcomed by Hasan though and feel very comfortable coming to him for help if we need it!

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

The spec if I talk about in terms of being good is that it has a great location in zone two good services of commute, you get DLR . walk in less than 20 minutes to canary warf and from there can go to Central, or you can either take a bus to Stratford for the national rail. Tesco is 10 minutes walk you get vegetable supermarket, which is five minutes of walk. Plenty of amazing food places nearby and the best thing is you getVoi and ForestE cycles just outside the door of the apartment.

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

Hasan the go to man at the reception helps me a lot, anything you name it, he’s been always helpful to everyone in the building at any time . I remember instance where I forgot my keys and unlock myself out. It was late in the night and I went to reception. He helped me out with that. Also, the rest of the marriage team, Luciana and Naradt has been truly responsive and supportive during the tenancy agreement for the apartment

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

I don’t think of anything that I should have learned before moving, and because everything seems perfect to me, and if anything that I would’ve even thought of knowing before would be any good Indian restaurants nearby, lol

A nice building with poor management

The Draper, NW9

Oct 2026

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

The building is new and generally quiet, with good build quality. However, the property management is poor. Emails often go unanswered, and you usually need to visit the office in person just to get basic issues addressed.

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

Management is often unresponsive. Emails go unanswered for weeks, and the only option is to visit the office in person, and even then there’s no clear timeline for repairs.

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

The lack of trash chute and poor customer service

Well designed BTR in East London that’s great value

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

Stone toss from the station. Really easy commute into central. There’s a highway next to the building so the balcony can get noisy depending on which side you’re on, but the doors and windows have good soundproofing. There is also a giant Tesco on your doorstep which is very convenient.

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

There is an app for issues, but I’m not sure it’s used actively. It would be better to speak directly with the concierge team.

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

All utility providers can be chosen on move-in which is nice. Parcel process can be challenging sometimes.
