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

This part is very good..nothing to be concerned about. Parking availability good but need to maintain the door.

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

No.I m living in flat 16 barge house. Maintenance is poor. I reported about toilet wall dam issue but for a long time no response. Before us the toilet lock was not working but no one cares. Bedroom doors are without grip. Kitchen hood no maintaining. Corridor outside light is not working. Everything was reported mailed but no response.

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

It's good to stay here coz the building is really living friendly

Lovely building

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

I’m in love with the flat. Amazing natural light and quiet. Getting to the flat is not the easiest and there’s not a lot around connecting where the flat is and the high street. If I could suggest an idea to the developers, it would be to consider discussing with the council to be able to open local shops on the ground floors of the buildings (the way some developments in east London have done) - a supermarket, a bakery, a coffee shop. It would bring a lot more life to the area and would be very convenient to the residents. One key aspect is parking, that is a nightmare for when we have visitors. I thinks there’s room for improvement here. The booking system for bays for visitors needs to be reviewed.

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

Yes. All of them with a positive outcome and dealt with efficiency and proactively.

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

I am very happy with the area in general. Particularly the lack of noise and how lovely everything looks like. Again, special mention to the management team on site.

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

Excellent location, good local services and shops, and a really nice corner of the city. It's quiet and very well maintained. When the bridge opens, that will make this area even better.

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

Yes. The few issues that have arisen have been quickly and efficiently resolved.

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

The only slight issue is the parking availability for visitors and the viciousness of the Parking attendants who monitor the area. Some of who seem keen to distribute tickets whether valid or not.
