If you’re living alone The collective old oak can be the best option. It’s located in a very nice neighborhood. The building itself has a very nice and amazing design. The gym is well maintained. Laundry room has driers which is something wonderful to have. Your room is so cosy. The kitchens are all well equipped. The staff are amazing and you feel home from the first date. Whatever you want which makes you feel comfortable and not feeling homesick is all in your hand. And it’s affordable in comparison to other collective buildings.

I’ve been living at The Collective Old Oak for over three years, and overall it’s been a really positive experience. The building is well designed, modern, and offers a wide range of excellent facilities including a gym, sauna, spa, and cinema, which really enhance day-to-day living. One of the standout aspects is the strong sense of community, with regular events and weekly classes that make it easy to meet people. The building management and property management teams are also very efficient , any maintenance issues are handled quickly and professionally. Another great benefit is the regular room cleaning and fresh bedding changes, which adds an extra level of comfort and convenience. Overall, it’s a well-managed development with great amenities, and I would definitely recommend it.

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

The Collective Old Oak is in a very convenient location, with great transport links that make getting into central London quick and easy. There’s also a grocery shop and a small restaurant nearby, which adds to the everyday convenience. Overall, it’s a well-connected and practical place to live.

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

So far been resolved. Sometimes takes a bit longer but overall happy with the outcome.

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

Always view the building and rooms and all facilities so you know where everything is.

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

There’s not much around and the train station is like 15 mins away. The restaurant in the building is never open. The building itself is quite nice though.

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

They’ve been very quick and efficient with responses.

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

I’d say the area is quite rough so if you’re a woman, be prepared to be happy at home/in the building because north acton isn’t worth seeing outside of the building. Also the station is quite a walk and the bus isn’t frequent.

Promptly, so far so good, they’ve never neglected or been slow about any of their decisions
