Needs a lot of TLC to bring it back up to standard
Well located to access central London however increasing street noise (student flats opened nearby) and issues with bin collection are getting more frequent
Please review your development:
There has been a lack of preventive care of the building so it’s condition is slowly getting worse. Recent building managers have been much better at responding, but the issues are outside their control.
The design leads means soundproofing between flats is poor and you can hear conversations etc.
Multiple security issues (rough sleepers in hallway and outside stores, thefts of parcels etc)
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The poor soundproofing means fairly normal conversations travel through walls/ducts
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Rough sleepers took over the bike store despite months of warning from residents and police the security was not sufficient. Took months to resolve once a new building manager took over and tried to help.
