Prompt. They have resolved all my issues relatively quickly

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

Wish I knew how noisy all the new construction would be.

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

Great food options - Hackney bridge, restaurants and bars. Feels quite safe at night. Easy walking distance to Hackney wick station and not too far to Westfield Stratford. Limited parking availability.

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

Most of the time very quickly and helpfully - just the light issue is still ongoing.

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

Sometimes Google maps can’t find the address so use e20 3as, and also the car parking vouchers from Hackney council are useful for visiting guests.

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

Trash is not picked up regularly and the trash room gets very nasty and filled up for weeks before anything is done about it.

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

Yes, that have been responsive, more so the office staff not so much the property management staff.

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

That Here East would have seating areas facing my private balcony with students who can see right into my flat. Also that they would begin outdoor maintenance work before the legal time of 8:00 AM

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

the location of the building is great and the management staff are great at fixing issues. However the main issues we have are that the bins are not emptied frequently enough, the development in the area has promised a co-op since we moved in in March 2021 and nothing has since happened so we’d love that to be speeded up!

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

Very quickly and pretty efficiently from the building managers

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

that the shops that were promised wouldn’t be build when it was promised and that the noisy neighbours upstairs we would have to speak to first before management got involved

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

I like the access to public transportation and the variety of shops that aren’t big business. This area has personality because it has lots of small shops and restaurants

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

They’ve been helpful and friendly, but getting repairs takes a long time.

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

I wish I knew the extent of disruption events in the park cause.
