Akelius reviews "Electric Lofts is a rental-only development located in the hip and happening London Fields area of Hackney, and it’s right at home with its edgy neighbours. Once a textiles factory, it’s retained all the hallmarks of its industrial past (thanks to developer Akelius). Think high ceilings, huge windows and traditional warehouse doors." – HomeViews Property Pro on Electric Lofts Click on the Akelius developments below to read resident reviews.

Do NOT Rent With Akelius!

Sunny L. (Tenant)

Centre Court, N20

Jul 2021

We were told a wall with water damage and damp would be repaired before we moved in- it wasn’t. It was caused by a leaking shower that had to be torn out and required us to take 5-6 days of annual leave while repairs were made. Additionally, it caused mites to be present in the bathroom on a daily basis. Laundry never dried because the flat was so damp and we had to constantly run a dehumidifier. The lock to the building door broke, trapping residents in the building on a weekend evening. It was removed and the door remained open for several months. Random people would enter the building and do drugs in the stair case. One night water began streaming from a light in a bathroom from the bathtub in the flat above us. We had to demand that someone was sent to assess it’s safety that evening because they didn’t feel it was a concern. It’s been over a month since we moved out and no one will return our calls regarding when we’ll get our deposit back. Never once in 9 months did we EVER hear from the Property Manager.

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

AVOID AKELIUS! Good Location but terrible experience in every way.

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

Their property manager is non-existent and it takes countless calls to get a response from someone to address big issues.

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

Everything. The damp created countless problems and management doesn’t respond.

The properties often have very cheap built in appliances that easily fail. Getting a response from the property manager or anyone Is like finding a needle in a haystack. Issues with rodents in the building. Took months for anyone to have a look, by then the rodents chew through your own appliances and food. Flats are mouldy, this is a massive health risk. The repairs company didn’t close my door after an authorised visit for them to use the master key for a PAT test. This lead to me coming home at night with my door open. Money and my personal stuff we’re stolen. They refused to reimburse and denied all allegations. I withheld the amount it was from my rent as they chose to ignore me. Now they’re supplying negative landlord references to get back at me. WORST company to rent from. stay away.

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

Area is lovely, good transport links with both the district line and central line being available. Quiet street

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

I wish I knew how little the rental company cared about their tenants.

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

Nicer and more approachable property managers. Rodent control. Mould control

Okay experience, unique building

Fairly new refurbishment of an old church, only a couple of years old. Clean and tidy when moving in, with decent appliance brands but the basic models of those brands. The whole apartment building is owned by one company who rent all of the apartments. They can be hit and miss on the contact and communication front. However, no major issues we haven’t been able to resolve. Rented as unfurnished but they can provide a furniture package for you.

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

Like - central, dislike - can be too dark on nearby streets at times

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

How often people leave the front building door & gate open!
