Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area is generally convenient and continuing to improve. Barring a few anti social elements
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
In the early stages, responses were often slow or inconsistent, and issues sometimes required repeated follow-ups.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
While the apartments look great during viewings, living through the early operational phase can be challenging. Things have improved over time, but the start required more persistence than expected, especially considering the rent level.
Manager response
Hi There, Thank you for your review of Machine Works. Your feedback is invaluable, and helps us make improvements. We're sorry to hear that things were rocky in the beginning, but I'm delighted to know that you've noticed a significant difference since I started managing the neighbourhood. If there is anything that you'd like to discuss further, I'd be happy to grab a coffee and have a chat. Feel free to pop an email to machineworks@ilivearound.com and we can get that arranged :).

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Theft is an issue in the area ( local co-op and Tesco express) It is generally a safe place. The area is well served by the Elizabeth Line
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Jo has been exceptional. Since her arrival, she has ensured that communication has been swift and professional. .She is an asset to your company. The previous one was not suitable
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known that my rent would go up every year.
Manager response
