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

umpteen shops for all essential needs and of all ranges. Very close to train station and have good connectivity. Parking is a problem, even the building doesn't have parking for the residents, which makes parking a hustle for friends and delivery guys.

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

Except for the non-availability of parking lots nothing much to complain about.

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

Having a parking lot would be nice. And a kids play area would be good to have.

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

Location is the only thing okay, it is convenient to public transport and shops. Rest is very bad. Very low standards for a private rent property. Bad cleanliness and maintenance. Most tenants are Asian(Ind, B'desh or Pak origin), Lots of issues with landlords and agents taking advantage of the working class tenants on work visas in the UK. Watch out as most landlord and agents and property management here are waiting to fleece tenants.

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

No on site maintenance. Property management staff on site say they do not maintain flats only common areas. They are rude, ill mannered and act like agents of the Landlords. Charge heavy prices for any minor service. Too many repairs and issues in this property. No one seems to be wanting to fix it and ends up as a liability on tenants. Very avoidable.

What is the best feature of your home:

Other than location nothing. Most tenants have landlord agent issues. Filthy and badly maintained property. Charging high rents for nothing. Tenants end up paying for maintenance and repairs.

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

Horrible maintenance. Worst property management. Charging market rate rents to tenants and providing third world services. Private landlords abuse the system and tenants in this building. The property maintenance by "Island post" is a joke. There is a mafia type connivance of landlord-agent-property management to take tenants for a ride. Never rent from this property.

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

Property management staff are Thugs. So are most landlords here. It is a trap to working class tenants.

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

Council should intervene and take over this property. Tenants are exploited and abused here as most are Asian workers.

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

Rent is average as is its architecture, good for families but many amenities are missing such as gym, parking etc

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

It's good for beginners who came to UK just now. But you can't stay for more than 2 years.

What is the best feature of your home:

Master bed room is really good and you will get nice veiw of TFL feild side high street view.
