The design is decent! It’s not my idea choice but it’s better than the others I seen before. The building around the area are extremely big and long like how are you guys gonna take it down if you were too make a school on that building site? But it has a nice view

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

The area is okay! There’s lots of people too make friends with I just don’t like how people have parties and volume is way too loud

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

People will make so much noise during the night

Great flat

joey (Owner)

Verified Resident

Sept 2020

Location is great, but being over a train station, not enough sound insulation or Aircon. No major issues with flat except a door not up to regs. But many issues with communal areas and facilities such as building door, plumbing and lifts.

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

Fantastic location, right outside tube. Supermarket, markets and local shops all on your doorstep.

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

The wind ventilation system has issues. It will whistle loudly and can cause air pressure issues.

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

Better doors, windows, and lifts. the main door is needlessly automatic and struggles in wind. Lifts often oos, doors not well sealed.

Walthamstow’s Village Vibe

Ricardo (Owner)

Verified Resident

Sept 2020

Very nice location and solid style, fittings and design for value. Facilities are good - access to bins and bike Locks are good. It would be good if we had a concierge in the reception. I think this could be funded at a reasonable rate by the residents and would add security and mitigate minor issues we have in the reception area.

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

The area is great - great community, diversity, shops, walks and transport links

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

Reasonably well. I understand that they have to manage many people with their respective concerns so generally happy.

Great home for first time buyers - but get a professional snagger to flag issues pre-move

Makster (Owner)

Verified Resident

Sept 2020

We were one of the first leaseholders in the building is key in this review. The designs of the flats themselves are fantastic, high-specification and the rooms are laid out well. We really appreciated all the pre-installed utilities, appliances and design features. However, as time has went on, a lot of this has proved to be a bit of a facade. We're 18 months in and still resolving snags in our property, and almost every single appliance or facet has experienced a fault or a design flat that has prevented our enjoyment - the attention to detail, reliability and foundations were overlooked and rushed despite a 4-month delay on the original completion date. The building management and facilities is also very poor, the communal doors and lifts break regularly, several of the residents voluntarily self manage the building to point out issues yet no timeline or commitment is rarely given to fix them. When one thing fixes, another breaks - for example, the communal lobby is experiencing a water leak & minor flooding right now, you'd think that's an urgent issue but it remains unattended. Perhaps in time these issues will be a mute point due to the flats being slightly older - all snags resolved and ideally in time a different management company other than Alexander Faulkner Partnership LTD. In their defense, the service charge is slightly lower than comparable buildings but I'd rather pay more if it meant issues resolved.

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

Walthamstow Central has an amazing number of great local shops, restaurants and bars - the nearby village, Lloyd Park, Walthamstow Wetlands are real highlights.

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

You should hire a professional snagger and have them produce a list of existing issues and get a timeline on fixing them before agreeing to completion.

What is the best feature of your home:

Living room space is large and spacious, and integrated kitchen appliances are fantastic.
