The proximity to the tube is excellent. There are a variety of great local businesses and small grocery stores available. Parking is limited and heavily monitored which makes visiting difficult. Generally the area is quiet.

The maintenance team as individuals are lovely, the management are shockingly poor.

The heating is separate to the electricity despite being electric, you are tied into a giant system that has broken down as much as it has been working

Very convenient transportation with easy access to some chain stores and local businesses, like Tesco, Starbucks, and some independent cafe and grocery stores.

The management team responds and deals with the maintenance requirements very quickly. But the frond desk is very busy with touring new tenants, and relatively not very actively respond to emails.

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

This place is near to wetland which offers excellent view. However, there are insects flying in our house when the lights are all on.

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

The local area has developed since moving here 5 years ago. The brewery’s are a short walk from equipment works, as well as independent cafes, restaurants and shops. Parking is fairly limited, but there is feee parking down some residential streets between certain times and a payable car park within a short walk. Parking at the property has a very long waiting list and a charge of £250 per month. Transport links are brilliant with the Victoria line getting you into central London in less than 20 minutes.

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

They do try their best to respond/fulfil our issues, however recently because of lack of staff this has taken much longer to sort. Most of the time, anything raised to management is resolved.

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

The excessive increase in rent each year (we are aware it has become a popular area but the increases seem to be extreme to other flats surrounding ours). Lots of spiders and bugs in the summer on the balcony because of the wetlands.
