One thing I wish I had known before moving in was the quality of property management. If I had known that the management would be so disappointing—delayed maintenance, poor communication, and lack of transparency—I might have chosen to go with a different agency or even another property. It’s crucial to ask more detailed questions about how responsive and proactive the property management is before committing.

The local area is nice and pretty safe compared to most areas I've lived in in London. Canary Wharf is 15 mins away for loads of shops, bars and restaurants but there are also a couple of nice spots across the DLR Bridge.

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

New gentrification brings in a lot of restaurants and shops and has created an amazing community with an exciting night life. Transport links are convenient with tube, national rail and good bus routes all in the area. My street is very quiet as it is slightly recessed from main road but a short walk away. Slight anti social behaviour with the youth and the way they act.
