Amazing new build, lovely decor, very bright and our plants seem to love it in the flat! Really feels like a home here now. Only thing is how hot they get in the summer. We have had to get an aircon I have really enjoyed loving here and see my self staying for a long time!

Thank you for your lovely feedback – we’re pleased that you are happy and hope that you do decide to stay for a long time !
Nice place nicely furnished.
The building was lovely bathroom was amazing but it had some faults extractor fan was never installed correctly you turn it on it blows straight at the smoke alarm so couldn’t use it. Price was expensive but that is just central London it was based in an amazing area so price does reflect the transport and what stuff to do around you overall I would recommend this building to anyone to live in

Great place to live
The design of the space is amazing. We have one room which is at the end of the flat so that’s why we rented this place. The building is clean which is great. The main two problems for us where mouses constantly appearing in our flat and the lift which breaks. It took two months to get it repair last time. And the quality of the job was very poor. Buttons doesn’t work in the lift and it seems that it will break again soon. We have two small kids so coming up and down was a big challenge. Facilities are very poor too. Low quality makes them breaks constantly (like our oven which just broken and was replaced a year ago). I would be happy to get better company for this.

Great thing about location is the Victoria Park just next to the building. It’s amazing. Range to the shops is pretty far but that’s not a big issue. There are a few restaurants 10 min walk from here. Transport is ok but not amazing, we mostly use bikes so to go anywhere is good. Street can be pretty noisy, especially the roundabout where ppl use horn too much. Bin collection is very bad, sometimes there is no space to even throw your rubbish out.

The area is great. Our friend lived around so they recomended this place to us. Especially if you have kids or pets. Market on sunday is amazing.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They responding prety poorly. The lift problem was so bad and calling them didn’t solve anything. We’re still waiting for them to respond about our problems with mouses.

Great place and pleasure to rent with A2 dominion
The layout out of the design is really nice and open makes for plenty of space, great view from the balcony of the park and a bit of the river, the only downside is the extractor fan is not installed correctly so when used it blows up all smoke to the ceiling and smoke alarm.

Nice area but before Lockdown no one park in the courtyard so it was very peaceful, then understandable they parked in the courtyard on full lockdown but now that it has gone back to normal car park spaces wise in the area people continue to park their driving in and out and all sorts of hours which with any window open makes it very hard to sleep or wake you up. somehow with the barriers up, they can still drive in some way. other then that very nice flat very nice highstreet all the shops you could need are on the highstreet
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The only thing I wish I knew before was in the summer my balcony doesn’t get much sun until late afternoon so no sunbathing on the balcony but that is minor the view is a great view over the park.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have responded and let me to deal with the supplier who has given me 5 different dates and shown up on none of them, I have taken multiple days off for this work to be done and it still hasn’t nearly one month has passed since the issue was raised and still no outcome at all. Also on viewing, I was told it would be repainted and professionally cleaned which it was repainted, but it was not professionally cleaned their was paint dust on the floor in the corner of the hallway and on the door handles form it being sanded down so I am not sure if it was cleaned other then a sweep so I had to clean it my self on the day I moved in, which isn’t the first thing you expect to have to be doing when moving into a new place.

Overall everything about the building is amazing.
I don’t have any complaint about the management. It’s everything ok and I like it pretty much.
As I said above, the problems that I had were solved quickly. I just think the rent is a little bit overpriced, specially now due to COVID-19. But overall everything about the building is amazing.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
I like the neighborhood, located in a quiet area. A lot of shops nearby. Bus stop in front of the building. The flat itself is amazing, we had one or two problems, that have been solved quickly.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Everything was exactly the way that I thought.
If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:
Actually I don’t have anything in mind. The flat is very good.

Design of building is great, love our flat itself and the building
Design of building is great, love our flat itself and the building – sense of community and get on well with all neighbours. Unfortunately we’ve had problems with the flat (leaking balcony drainpipe) which is caused from the flat above and hasn’t been fixed in over 2 years – despite at least 3 calls reporting a year..
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Love the location – being next to the park is beautiful and shops are great. Transport links good e.g. bus but not great tube links
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It gets really hot in the summer – great in the winter as I don’t think we’ve ever had to put the heating on… but have had to buy a portable air conditioner for the spring / summer
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Generally good, although had issues with balcony as mentioned above which have never been fixed (flooding due to flat above’s drainpipe)
