We have been living in the Essex Flats for about six months now. The biggest problem we have are the floors, as you can hear your neighbour’s every step. You will not just hear every step. You can feel it, too! At first we thought they just moved in and the noise would stop once they settle in, but it is never-ending. We finally had to ask our upstairs neighbour to try to be quieter, but she said that she can hear her upstairs neighbour as well. That is when we realised it must be the flooring. I can't work from home, and we can't even sleep because of sudden noises in the middle of the night. Our entire flat shakes. I have lived in various flats throughout the London area, and I have never experienced such constant disruption. Only consider living here if you will be living on the top floor. Otherwise, it’s a nice spacious flat in a convenient location near the town centre.

Although the bedrooms and living area are quite big, the kitchen is rather small. It’s difficult to move around when there’s more than one person in the room. My roommate and I enjoy cooking together, so this is a problem for us. There's some issue with the car park, and people who park on the lower level have a white substance falling on their cars. The windows don’t quite close completely, so we feel air coming through the cracks. This doesn’t help with our air conditioning and central heating bills. We hear our upstairs neighbours constantly. As if that weren’t enough, we hear our downstairs neighbours as well. I'm currently enjoying the musical tastes of the residents below us. Tonight's selection is Miles Davis’s classic "So What." Needless to say, we are not happy.
