Our flat is very well designed/laid out – ample storage space, good quality appliances. Our favourite thing about the flat is our south facing balcony overlooking limehouse cut, the city, Bartlett park and canary wharf! For what we paid for the flat, we believe we have got a great deal.

This is an up and coming area of east London. We have found the area to be quiet, safe, and within easy reach of the DLR and central line aswell as a number of bus routes

How great it was going to be 🙂
If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:
Very minor but there is only one light outside on the balcony- two would be better

Thank you so much for sharing your views on your new home, we’re delighted to hear that the design and specification has been so well received and that you are enjoying the convenient location.
Satisfactory
Pros:
Spacious & modern flats, nicely finished, well insulated.
Communal garden
Residents that are getting involved in addressing and fixing potential issues
Fast response to warranty issues raised about the flat
No significant structural issues
Nice to really nice views depending on the side of the complex
Easy to make upgrades in the flat (extra furnishing of the kitchen, replacing carpets or floors etc)
Cons:
Snags in communal areas waiting to be fixed
The developer and management company are not moving as fast to fix the snags in the communal area, as they do it for individual flats
Could be cleaner
Some security issues, in course of being fixed
The management company is not too efficient
Not perfect, but fixable

Easy access to DLR stations, bus, and underground. Access to the canal and a nearby park.
A few shops nearby that come in handy and a nice coffee shop near the park. A significant number of new properties in the area.
The area has potential for improvement, although now we had a few incidents with some “less honest individuals”, but that’s specific to the entire London.

Satisfactory – modern
Modern and pleasing design, building management hasn’t be great, bind and locks needs to be sorted out but takes a lot of time to do so. No gym but would be nice to have one. Concierge would have been ideal.
General security is good

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Lack of local amenities, wish there were more shops in the area.
Satisfactory
architecture is good and the facilities and space is satisfactory, property management can be improved for sure – Security can also be improved but the living space is good, size of the apartment is spacious.

Location is good – A lot of drugs and crime related incidence
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Too many insects because of the canal.
Lovely
New development, some teething issues based on the building management. Very lovely residence. In theory security is good, but sometimes the security doors don’t work. Very spacious apartments, well insulated.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Up and coming area very nice, still area of high crime
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Have more insight into the gas and electricity and heating.
Poor, security is terrible
No facilities, would be nice to have a gym but nice how there is a gym outside (public access). Good children’s development and little grander, good for children in terms of facilities but extremely poor security, robberies all the time.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
The development is bad, a few robberies already, not happy with the development.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
They wish they knew about the security – poor security.
Great
It’s got a great design to it and it’s safe for the children but I wish that there was a GP near the area. I like the building management here, really liked the service from the landlord. Overall lovely experience here.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Near to the station but it’s a bit noisy in the area
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
As mentioned previously, I wish there was a GP nearby
Unfair
Unfair quality – the ones you rent are different from the ones you buy – security if very poor and needs to be improved – bin room is a joke, rarely get emptied and loads of rubbish everywhere. Lifts are always braking.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Bit messy and dirty more sense of community is needed

Parking areas need to be rented which is disappointing
