Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The neighborhood is full of facilities nearby, such as markets, banks and local shops. It’s relatively close to the underground and there are plenty of bus connections nearby.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They respond, but not on a timely manner. Sometimes I have to follow up several times.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The flat was advertised as having under floor heating which is not true. If I’ve known this before, I would probably reconsider my decision to move.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
There’s good variety of local shops and restaurants around the area, the proximity to grocery stores like Lidl, Morrisons, Tian Tian (Chinese grocery mart) is welcomed. Close proximity to Canning Town station which is well connected on the jubilee line and DLR. There’s also bus routes that serves the area well. There’s currently construction happening around the area which makes it difficult to move in and there’s constructions happening on the streets as well which makes it difficult to get around at times.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building management issues are dealt with on time and promptly
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The construction is still happening 6 months into moving in, I hope there provided a clear timeline on when the construction will be done, as noise could be heard when the windows are open

Fine. Could do Worse.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It’s on the high street so it’s close to convenient shops. There isn’t a very wide range of bars and snacks and such, more the usual Poundland, McDonalds, and Tesco - nothing special or exciting. There is a lot of homeless people that loiter in front of the entry, and garbage left in front of the building door but I didn’t think the building could do much about that. Transport links are easy and abundant.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Took quite a while for a response to our concerns. Email responses were short and only came after weeks of waiting.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Wish I’d known what to ask at Move in to avoid having to ask for Landlord, wish I’d chosen a different location in the building
