Xenia Estates

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

The local area is fairly rough and there is a daily stream of sirens from police dealing with crime in the area. The street has a reputation for parcel theft and we no longer get packages or important mail delivered here. There is the local Nisa shop that is a great little convenience store but attracts bad crowds. There is also a shisha bar that furthers the aura of bad energy.

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

They do not respond after several attempts to contact them.

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

That there is a service black out inside the block and the crime levels are high.

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

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

This is the worst place I’ve ever been - badly made construction, no management, dirty, a paradise for criminals. It’s unsafe to live there. Nothing promised were actually there, such as gym and cycle storage. If you dream about a life with paranoia and a general mental health situation, this place is good, otherwise find something else. Location is good, but there are better options close by.

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

Never did. Mainly called the police and not the building management.

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

How bad the area was. One thing is the bad building, but so many criminals in that area - with access to the buildings - made it so unsafe.

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

The local shops are alright. The area feels dangerous though. There are always people breaking in and damaging cars. Some people get loud knocks on their door. There was clearly a budget cuts as the building is filthy too.

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

They take ages to respond, if they try and fix something, it's uncertain if what they will do will actually help.

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

How unsafe the area is and how easy it is for intruders to get in.

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

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

They dont, they always make us pay for the issues they cant solve

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

The community of people who live there are lovely but we all struggle with the management of the building
