London Block had inherited a block which was looked after less well in the past. Since they have joined they have changed the locks and are currently in process of fitting CCTV. Its a great building- if I'm honest didn't feel safest before the recent changes. Now though, its definitely feels safer.
The central heating is 100% better,and the building looks a lot more well looked after.
Katie at LBM has always been available and super helpful if we've had any questions, or simply to put us in touch with any workmen needed for the flat.
