Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
There’s a lot left to be desired of ilford, lots of antisocial behaviour and litter everywhere. However all the shops and everything as such is close by. The rent however is becoming extortionate by the heat especially for a place like ilford!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Repairs within the flat are one thing that is very good.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How often the lifts seem to break down and a lengthy time to resolve it. Often have to walk 18 flights of stairs on such occasions

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Perhaps the worst thing lately is the rent price! It has gone considerably since when we moved in 3 years ago and considering it is ilford it should be lower.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
When we had an issue with our washing machine, we had a brand new one fitted in.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That the rent would keep increasing by such amounts on a yearly basis

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The ilford station which had the Elizabeth line is a big bonus as it connects us straight to central London very quickly!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We have not had any issues however the lifts do break often
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Since the building is made of glass, it traps heat a bit too well especially in summer, making it very hot
