Just want to give any prospective buyer a heads-up about the quality of the building Anthology who are part of Lifestory sells. There has been many issues from the start- from having no snagging done, to issues being pushed back on you. The quality of the finish isn't great and as a first time buyer and lack of communication from Anthology (which now I know why) I didn't know snagging wasn't/would be done so I as lived in the flat I started to gradually see faults but it was too late. For the issues I did report and wasn't part of 'snags', they go unfixed: My main issue being that the tower in the development where my flat is located has creaking walls. The creaking is loud enough to keep you awake at night even at lower wind speed, this is due lack of screws (a fellow resident had his wall opened and was informed that the noise was due to the lack of screws and metal on metal friction). This is ongoing for the last 9 months, I am unable to sleep and Anthology have done nothing to fix it. I have appealed to them as this is impacting my mental health as I can't sleep and been fighting them to fix this. This isn't just affecting my flat- this is the entire building, so I can imagine their other towers they built will likely have this issue too. The director I spoke to told me that if I was to go public with the issue it would impact the price of our property and it would be our loss and if I am not happy I should go to our insurers- clearly they have no intention of fixing this. So be AWARE- avoid Anthology if you have other options
