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

The area surrounding Moda Embassy Boulevard is one of its biggest advantages. It offers a perfect balance of convenience and comfort, with quiet, well-maintained streets and a peaceful atmosphere that makes everyday living enjoyable. Despite being calm and residential, the neighborhood is well-connected — essential shops, cafes, and daily conveniences are just a short drive away.

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

I have had few issues with my apartment and they have been sorted or being sorted by the team

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

I wish I knew the gym will be ready by January but they have given me a free membership

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

I’ve lived at Fizzy Hayes for five years and it’s been a great experience. The apartments are modern, well maintained, and the building is always kept in good condition. Kiran has been super helpful with any issues we’ve raised, and the management team is responsive and friendly overall. The location is convenient, and the community feels welcoming. I’d happily recommend living here.

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

The apartment is very close to a number of shops and also has great transport links to others, the only down side is the roads are always under repair so there’s traffic and closed roads all around.

Nothing I can think of as of now. I conducted. Showing of the flat so It’s exactly as I viewed.

Comfortable and Well-Managed Development

Kent Alapar (Tenant)

Fizzy Hayes, UB3

Nov 2025

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

I have lived here for 3 years now and it has been a mostly good experience. There are plenty of local shops, cafés and restaurants nearby, and the so rounding are clean and nice to use. Transport links are convenient, with regular buses and trains, although they can be busy at peak times. The street is generally quiet, parking is usually okay, and bin collections are reliable. Very little anti-social behaviour. Overall, it’s a comfortable and convenient place to live.

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

Management has always responded quickly and efficiently to any problems I have raised, resolving issues in a professional and reliable manner.

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

I wish I had known that Fizzy Hayes is just a 5 minute walk to the Elizabeth Line, which makes getting around very easy. The nearby parks, like Lake Farm and Minet Country Park, are great for walks. Some flats have awkward room shapes or occasional lift issues, but the resident portal makes reporting and fixing problems quick and easy.
