About Weston Homes

The development however has some hugely glaring downsides. This is mainly due to the developers who are, in simple terms, awful. First of all, the quality of the construction is just abysmal, with the fittings and joints being placed poorly as well as some horrible plastering. The customer service associated with the developers is also as horrible as the construction itself which really lets down the development a lot.

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

Having done a substantial amount of research, there isn’t really anything I wish I’d known.

The home itself is very peaceful to live in compared to other areas.

My favourite part about the area is that there’s local canals and parks, and the stratford station is nearby. Not many supermarkets at the moment with one local shop that’s expensive. However it seems that many more are springing up in the future. we had some issues with safety, with possessions getting stolen from residence and if there’s events at the local stadium drunk pedestrians can make a lot of noise.

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

we done our research living here and apart from lack of quality there was no real surprises

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

the view, i wish it was facing the canal! all i have is a view of a construction site

Many of the other developments in the area didn’t have parking, or had limited options that were very expensive. So having access to parking was a huge plus for us given that the options in the area seemed very limited.

The management company does need chasing and we have terrible mailboxes that should definitely be changed.

But, on the whole, I love the flat and enjoy living here.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Likes: space, light, spacious private roof terrace, insulation, contemporary look and feel of the interior, location, canals, community art cafes, parks, neighbours, the bathrooms, affordable ground rent
Dislikes: the awful letterboxes, the flats get very hot in the summer

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

Nothing really, as we knew the area well before we moved. I would have liked to have known about the placement of letterboxes.

What is the best feature of your home:

I love the light, space and location of the apartment. We’re also lucky to have a big outdoor terrace.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Likes that it’s near Olympic Park and transport links, dislikes main road and lots of sirens

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

That the lift would break all the time
