Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Wildlife, breweries and lots of amenities nearby! Good sports facilities for pilates, yoga and fitness. Love the area!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very well, always happy to help with resident concerns and provide advice. Best to speak in person or via the resident portal as Management receive so many emails. Marigona has especially helped with a lot! Jinia, Jason, Mel, Princess thank you for the work you do!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Induction hobs!! Note down the management work hours and emergency numbers for any issues.

Nice place to live but very expensive considering some of the shortcomings

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Super close to the tube and the wetlands for walks. Unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed but you can walk them down the canal close by. A couple of nice cafes and the breweries but no pubs . Some traffic noise in balcony but nothing of concern at night.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Some of them , yes. It is much better now with new management. Was hard to get a response during team changes.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known that current residents would not be favoured for loyalty when it comes to yearly renewals and that instead concessions are only offered to new people coming in
Manager response
Hi Kate, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the residents’ lounge, gym, courtyard and the local area. We’re sorry to hear about your experience with communication and delays during the management transition period. We understand how frustrating that can be, and we’ve been working hard to improve response times and resident support with the new team in place. We also appreciate your comments regarding renewals and rental pricing, and we’ll ensure this feedback is shared internally. Thank you again for your honest feedback as it helps us continue improving the resident experience.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
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.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The maintenance team as individuals are lovely, the management are shockingly poor.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
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
Manager response
Hi J A, Thank you for sharing your experience with us - feedback like this really helps us to review and make changes that benefit all of our residents. We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the postal room. In some cases, delivery drivers do not use the system correctly, which can prevent notifications from being sent. We’ll continue reminding drivers on site of the correct process to help reduce this. Regarding your underfloor heating, thank you for bringing this to our attention, we’d be happy to look at this for you and get it working again - please contact us at equipmentworks@ilivearound.com so we can assist. We’re pleased to hear your positive comments about the maintenance team and will pass your kind words on. We’re always looking for ways to continuously improve our service, and have recently strengthened the on-site team with some new faces to better support residents. if you have any other feedback or want to chat anything through over a coffee, please let us know and we can arrange this around your availability. Thank you,
