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

Having lived here for nearly 2 years, I see more and more issues cropping up, mainly due to poor management. Since leaving my review 6 months ago, the parking enforcement company has changed, but the issues of nuisance parking have remained. This is due to the underlying issues not having been addressed and the promised fixes have not been implemented. Further, the communal storage room has been decommissioned due to fire risks despite a large investment having been made a few years ago to raise the fire safety. I expect further issues to arise as time goes on. The good thing is being close to nature with the massive nature reserve on ones doorstep.

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

That standards keep falling while service charges keep rising. In the future, I will always ask to speak to the local residents association.

What is the best feature of your home:

That it's mine and I'm finally off the renting market. Nice and quite surroundings.

Average unfortunately, prices keep rising while the facilities decline as things take months to be repaired.

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

Good: Great location in terms of closeness to station and distance to central London, proximity to supermarkets and few local cafes. Bad: Constant construction noise from HS2 during the day and night time and tube causing mild shaking of the building occasionally.

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

Dependent on the severity of the issues, hot water disruptions are managed as quick as possible. Lift, intercom and main doors take time to be repaired, and when repaired often fall back to disrepair.

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

Noise from the construction site is ongoing and may affect how one wishes to use the balconies. Most of the time too noisy to enjoy being out on the balcony.

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

Good range of groceries shops around the area. Very quiet at night. However, commuting can be far if you’re working in central london.

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

There is dining table available if you opt for the furnished option, which you could use for work.

What is the best feature of your home:

The kitchen is well designed with sufficient top space and storage space.
