Vodion, E3

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

I love my new home- love the apartment build, proximity to Victoria Park, the roof top garden, and the design. I am disappointed with the SH after care services. Would like to see the studio spaces be occupied by Tesco or Sainsbury’s - now vacant. There are few grocery places.

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

Bad pipes and after care with Southern Homes- been very disappointed with the wait times after an issue is reported or even the wait time for an issue to be reported.

What is the best feature of your home:

I love my home- especially its design. I particularly love the square layout of my apartment and the reason I bought it- clean lines.

I love Hackney Wick which is why I chose this development. Within walking distance to Victoria Park and Olympic Park, there are loads of walking routes, local restaurants and bars. Enjoying being in the heart of the creative scene where there are lots of pop-up art exhibitions and music events.

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

It would be good to know what's going to happen to the commercial spaces below the flats which are empty currently. More clarity on what is in the service charges would be helpful.

What is the best feature of your home:

The bathrooms are beautiful, it's such a luxury to sit in a bath in a nice new flat, a rarity in London!

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

There are two huge parks right next door, and some beautiful canals that run through east London. There are loads of cafes and pubs and independent stores nearby.

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

When the shops in the ground floor of the building will move in.

What is the best feature of your home:

The layout of the flat and the light that comes in.

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

Great area with lots around and quick access to Victoria park, canals and bars and restaurants in Hackney Wick. Household waste bins have not been collected in the building in a month despite numerous messages and calls to the council. Area is usually quiet and clean, not much traffic except for days when events are on. A lot of empty commercial space in the area, which will hopefully be filled in the future.

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

Management are very slow to address and fix issues. Continuous delays

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

How slow management would be to fix problems and the continuous delays that would happen when a problem arises. Things that can be easily fixed take months to have someone check the problem.
