Property management company are not helpful...always refer me to the developer. Though not really many facilities that I have used. I can not park my electric car in the bays because people have purchased those spots. Design and location fantastic.

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

Great amenities and a short distance to the train station. Anti social behavior in the development recently is becoming an issue.

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

Developer has yes...but property management company not helpful

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

Community is great but is started changing as of late

Nice. Quickly finished. Could be a higher spec. Basic. Property management are awful - only bothered about chasing money. Not resolved any issues sent to them. Any correspondence has been met with poor attitude. Design is nice and bright

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

Very close to the station. More parking needed. Can hear cars from the road. Often get youths in building smoking drugs. Walls and floors thin. Can hear neighbours easily

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

Waste of money. Rude. Not helpful. I would not choose a building managed by Ian gibbs again

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

Would have preferred a higher spec and more bedrooms. Happy to be an end flat as walls ar every thin

Bad experience

The estate management Ian Gibbs are possibly the most inept I have ever come across, they take forever to sort out any issues. The responses to emails are more often impolite than helpful. I just wish they were more helpful and attentive. Good customer service goes a long way and they are failing miserably.

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

The quality of the kitchen cabinets is poor at best, when I first got the property they didn't even clean it before I got the keys, windows and floors were filthy. Balcony door wouldn't lock, front door wouldn't lock , scratches on the balcony door.

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

The worst experience, awful estate management, any issue they can't deal with or know the answer to and they palm it off back on to yourself.

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

That the two companies Fairview and Ian Gibbs are poor.

Fairview Merriam Close, Highams Park

Sept 2022

Pleasant estate with green spaces and trees. No parking for visitors or anyone who did not purchase a parking space, but free parking available on nearby streets. We'll thought out design so that living spaces don't overlook each other. Good sized balconies.

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

Proximity to station and local shops. Near to green spaces and bigger high streets in Walthamstow and Chingford.

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

Initially yes but slower as time has gone on. Depends on the issue.

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

Buy a flatbed trolley for moving stuff - best £50 you'll ever spend!

Overall good development but very minor changes needed.

Uma (Owner)

Sept 2022

Facilities of the building are good. But regarding design, specific to the flat, kitchen design would have been a bit more better with little more storage units at least in 3 bed room flat like us, because when the flat is big we expect more storage. Dishwasher is one thing which is missing specially in 2 or 3 bedroom flats its much needed when we are with kids. Carpet quality is not good which is really hard and started to worn out as soon as with in a month. Rest of the things are good, only if these were taken care this development would have been best in all aspects.

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

This area is good with all the facilities. No much traffic noise though its close to road. This area is good with other activities as tennis court behind and Leisure/fitness centre within a walkable distance. As we living in flat in an apartment, Sometimes we need additional parking for few hours when friends/family visit us. It would be good if the whole development has 3-4 guest parking which can be used occasionally.

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

Response is good as of now. Management is taking care of the issues when reported.

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

One thing is parking space allocation. We know that we have parking space, but we got to know it not close to the apartment where we need to walk. We expect this to be informed before or at least we have given a chance to change it close to apartment.
