Good aspect is upon first gland the space is beautiful . Bad aspects are hidden fees they do not tell you about until AFTWR you’ve moved in

Building management was nice until you had a complaint and then they were unhelpful. Some of the building managers would flirt also and make it uncomfortable to walk past the front desk

Hidden cost they do not mention before you move in . Also the flat is terribly insulated and the underfoot heating which sounds nice doesn’t work and charges even when turned off

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

Upton Park is a super lively and convenient area, and as soon as you turn off the Main Street it becomes quiet and residential. There’s a wide array of takeaways and shops (Boots, Lidl, Tesco) and these are about a 7 minute walk from The Forge as is the tube station which has access to District & Hammersmith and City line which can get you into Central London in around 30 mins. Not as many bars/pubs in the area but very close to a park. The street on which The Forge is situated is quite quiet most of the time, there’s some parking in the area and very little traffic noise however you can expect a bit of noise on a Friday & Saturday evening with people hanging around.

The onsite maintenance guy Lonny is lovely and gets everything done quickly and to a high standard.
