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

Chiswick is a delightful west London suburb with plenty of boutique shops, cafes, and amenities. We are very well connected with the overground, district, and Piccadilly lines

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

I wish I had known that pocket were going push back so hard on every issue raised during warranty. A lot of similar issues were seen by all residents and the after care was not great at all.

What is the best feature of your home:

The two shared roof terraces are lovely, hell with the communal feel, and provided a much needed outdoor area during lockdown.

The location is incredible. Chiswick High Road is within arms reach whilst both District & Piccadilly lines are both just minutes away from the front door. The communal areas offer spectacular view and there is a great sense of community. The flats themselves are modern and bright with stunning floor to ceiling windows. There have been relatively few issues since moving in over two years ago. Main complaints would be lack of safe parcel storage solution and overheating during the summer.

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

Multiple supermarkets within walking distance, multitude of transport links with an array of local amenities and luxuries nearby.

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

Temperatures during summer months given the tall windows and strong insulation.

What is the best feature of your home:

The clean and modern design, tall windows and great views.
