Abbeville Apartments, IG11

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

Depends on which side of the building you live on. If its facing London Road, you'll hear noise from the late-night club on the weekends and of course the cars. If it's facing the market, you'll hear buskers and the sound of the market almost every day, but most days it's manageable. Events in the local park can also be heard. If you're looking for a lively area though this is it. Right above a supermarket and access to great transport links in less than a 10 minute walk to the station.

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

Respond to maintenance requests well but have recently changed companies to outsource repairs, somewhat complicated process now with the app and having to deal with the third-party company directly as a resident.

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

That the apartments wouldn't really be upgraded often.

Local markets and proximity to other shops in the town. Best place to stay if you work at Canary Wharf or in the city

The area in general gets quite noisy at times. Wish we knew about this

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

The local area is great, although it is starting to become gentrified. There are ample parks in the area and a lively market just outside of the building. The apartment is situated just above a large ASDA as well, which makes it a perfect location to live. The apartment is roughly a brisk 6-minute walk from the train station, which is one of the most accessible in the city with connections to everywhere.

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

Standard response to maintenance requests, happy with most of the repairs.

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

I wish I knew they'd relentless raise the rent without improving the actual quality of the flats.

That the rent was increasing so much every year and that they would never accept pets
