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

R&R are the only bad thing about the property, however the concierges are excellent

I didn’t realise how great Hackney Wick was as an area, it’s just been a massive bonus.

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

The location is great, the building blends with Hackney Wick industry and arty scene. Local enterprises, music and food. The big criticism is the cleanliness of the are. After Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the streets can be quite messy.

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

Slowly to the majority of the snagging reported at the beginning. Very expensive service charge

How expensive the service charge and bills would be

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

The local area is excellent. Buzzing and vibrant, which comes with noise, however this is to be expected.

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

Much of the time. Often this hasn't been satisfactory.

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

It would have been good to know who the management company would be, as Rendall & Rittner are the least client friendly management company I've ever dealt with.

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

Great sense of community. Good selection of bars and restaurants, although the cost-of-living crunch has already forced a few to shut down and I suspect more will follow. The Overground continues to be abysmal, with constant delays, cancellations and months where it's closed every weekend for maintenance. Area generally feels safe, and street noise after the bars close isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it can be disruptive some Friday/Saturday nights (especially in summer).

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

About the flat, yes. About the building, constant fobbing off and delays.

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

Hackney Wick is a great community - for the first time in the 12 years I've lived in London, I've made local friends and am friends with my neighbours. The boiler will break down more times than you would think possible within its first year of use.

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

I love the local bars and restaurants, it is located in the heart of Hackney Wick which offers a host of local amenity, such as cafes, bars, shops.

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

They responded to emails quite quickly generally and issues were resolved.
