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

Wildlife, breweries and lots of amenities nearby! Good sports facilities for pilates, yoga and fitness. Love the area!

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

Very well, always happy to help with resident concerns and provide advice. Best to speak in person or via the resident portal as Management receive so many emails. Marigona has especially helped with a lot! Jinia, Jason, Mel, Princess thank you for the work you do!

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

Induction hobs!! Note down the management work hours and emergency numbers for any issues.

Great building but the area massively lets it down, especially considering the price.

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

The area is not the best I’ve seen. Gets a little sticky especially evening time. Some weird people around. Great local store tho (Nisa) 👍 nice people working there

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

Had an issue during winter time upon return to London. The issue was resolved a month later, which is highly underwhelming considering the severity of the problem

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

Honestly just wish I knew what kind of area that was. Other than that I was happy with everything

Modern development with great transport links

SY (Tenant)

Momento Hayes, UB3

May 2026

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

The development is located in a quieter part of the town, which makes it feel much calmer and more residential compared to the busy town centre nearby. The centre itself can feel quite crowded and noisy at times, especially during weekends and evenings, but thankfully the building is positioned away from most of that activity. There are still plenty of useful shops, restaurants and supermarkets nearby, so daily life is very convenient. One of the biggest advantages is the Elizabeth Line connection, which makes travelling into central London extremely quick and easy. The only downside is that when the Elizabeth Line has delays or closures, alternative transport options can become inconvenient and journeys take significantly longer.

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

Building management has generally been responsive and professional when issues have been raised. Communication is usually clear, and maintenance requests or building-related concerns are handled within a reasonable timeframe.

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

The development itself is much quieter and more peaceful than the town centre nearby, which was a pleasant surprise after moving in. The Elizabeth Line connection is a huge advantage for commuting into central London and makes daily travel very convenient. However, one thing worth knowing is that when the Elizabeth Line experiences delays or closures, alternative routes can become quite inconvenient and travel times increase significantly. Also, while the surrounding town centre can feel busy and noisy at times, the development is positioned far enough away that residents are mostly unaffected by it.

Premium Feel Without Central London Prices

Momento Hayes, UB3

May 2026

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

I recently moved into Momento Hayes and honestly it’s been a really good experience so far. The apartments feel modern and nicely finished, definitely more premium than a lot of other rentals around here. The natural light is great, and the shared spaces are always clean and well looked after. The location is also super convenient for commuting. Hayes & Harlington station is just a short walk away, and the Elizabeth line makes getting into central London or Heathrow really easy

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

Not applicable - all good from start and stress free

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

The management hosted several community get-together with free food and drinks, which was a really thoughtful touch and made it easy for residents to connect and socialise.
