My experience with the building management team has been extremely positive. Whenever assistance has been needed, the team has been responsive, professional and helpful.

We’ve been living at Alma for over a year now, and our experience has been excellent in every aspect. The building is ideally located, with plenty of lovely local coffee shops and restaurants nearby, many of which offer exclusive discounts through Alma’s resident benefits programme. The transport links are also fantastic, with the Tube station just a few steps away, as well as several Santander bike docking stations nearby, which we regularly use for our daily commute. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our experience at Alma!

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

The management team has always been incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive. A special mention goes to Sattar, who is always there whenever we need assistance, promptly addressing and resolving any apartment maintenance issues, whether it’s a leak, a faulty door handle, or anything else that might come up. He is always approachable, reliable, and willing to go the extra mile to help. We genuinely couldn’t ask for anyone better than Sattar!

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

There isn’t anything in particular we would change. We’ve been very happy with our experience at Alma and have no suggestions for improvement at this point!

I wish I had known that the larger gym is in a separate building. It’s close by but I didn’t realize it wasn’t within the main building.
