Dreadful property management and poor quality of the building

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

Expensive overground parking with constantly broken gates. The area is noisy due to gas pipes works in the last 9 months.

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

They tried to ignore the issues first till we chased them a few times. Even when they promised that they will fix/send an engineer, they kept silent afterwards till you chase them again. Issues could have been fixed in days often get unresolved for months.

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

Awful property management and poor building quality
