A Guide to Living in Walthamstow

Please review your development:

The development is fine, relatively high quality of facilities, neutral design which is nice. Property management are putting in quite a bit of effort and are always available. I wish we had a concierge service which would help with the parcel theft. Property management accept parcels if being delivered to them but as it’s a different address to the actual flats that doesn’t happen often.

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

Next door is student housing which can be loud especially in the summer.

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

Yes they always respond to issues in a speedy manner.

Please review your development:

The building is maintained well and is kept clean. The design is reasonable, could provide more facilities like a gym etc. The building management is wonderful, Jason Anu and Richard are very approachable and always help to sort out any problems very quickly.

The development is great. We live in a 2b2b. I don’t hear any noise from neighbours or road. The kitchen has a lot of space. It’s all wooden flooring which we like as it’s easy to hoover. The co-working space has better vibe than most cafe’s around as well as coffee and some snacks available always. There is a co-op literally next to the building so anytime you’re missing anything it’s a 5min go and get. Anu & Jason (property managers) are lovely and welcoming people who become your friends as soon as you move in. The connectivity through Victoria line tube (24h on weekends) is amazing (3 mins walk from property). It gets to King’s Cross in 15 minutes, direct bus to Stratford in < 30mins.

One thing I miss is having a gym in the development, or some tie-up with a nearby gym, as the gyms nearby have steeper costs. Also because of wetlands being nearby and in general the area filled with greenery, you may see occasional small spiders crawling into your balcony. Also wish there was a way to extend the lease beyond 12 months (but Fizzy does not do more than 12 months lease).

We're recent tenants, but would love to stay for a long long time in this development. We will update review based on how we feel after a year along with how costs rise here. But among the very expensive equipment works, blackhorse mills, this property gives you almost all the same things for much cheaper with less spiders and closer to tube and bus station.

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

No inexpensive gyms within < 10mins walking distance. Walthamstow Wetlands actually closes by 5pm.

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

Too early to comment since we’ve moved in recently and haven’t faced any major issues.

Please review your development:

This is a well-designed modern development with a good quality finish. The flats are very well insulated for sound and for energy efficiency. The buildings are well run and the staff are friendly and usually very quick to deal with any issues that might come up.

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

Because of the high rise buildings, sounds from the street echo.

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

They generally respond very quickly and get issues dealt with efficiently.
