Comfortable, Modern Flat in a Well-Connected and Secure Building

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

Living in Hayes, especially at Gatefold Buildings, offers a great balance of convenience and lifestyle. There’s a good range of shops, restaurants, cafés, and supermarkets nearby, with high street brands and local options all within walking distance. Open spaces like Minet Country Park are close by, offering green relief. Transport links are excellent – Hayes & Harlington station (Elizabeth Line) is just a short walk away, making commuting into Central London quick and easy. The street is generally quiet, with regular bin collections and decent parking availability. It’s a safe, well-connected area with a growing community feel and very little anti-social behaviour.

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

Building management has been responsive and polite, addressing queries promptly and keeping residents informed of updates.

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

In summer, the rooftop terrace occasionally attracts non-residents, especially on warmer weekends. It’s worth checking with management about access controls. Also, one of the two lifts may be under maintenance at times, so if you’re on a higher floor, be prepared for occasional delays.

Outstanding Support from Eddie and Brian

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

The area has a good selection of local shops, supermarkets, cafes, and restaurants, with convenient options for everyday needs and some diverse dining choices. There are several pleasant green spaces nearby, including Hillingdon Park. Transport links are solid — the Hayes & Harlington railway station is close by with frequent trains into central London, and several bus routes serve the area, although buses can sometimes get delayed during peak times.

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

NAOn a positive note, I didn’t realise how helpful and responsive the property managers, Eddie and Brian, would be — it’s made a big difference in feeling settled and supported here. I'd definitely advise new neighbours to reach out to them early for anything you need!

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of my home is how well-maintained and modern the interior is — everything feels clean, updated, and thoughtfully arranged. The natural light in the main living area creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the overall layout makes great use of the space. It’s both comfortable and functional, which really makes it feel like home.

THE BEST PLACE IN HAYES

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

Gatefold Building is located in a quiet area with close proximity to the railway station and bus stops. The High Street is also nearby, and ASDA is within walking distance, making daily errands very convenient. One of the best features of APO Gatefold is the rooftop terrace. It’s a fantastic spot for get-togethers or kitty parties, especially during the summer.

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

Eddi, the Building Manager, is a very approachable and helpful person. Any issues we had so far have been resolved promptly by him. Recently, he organized a table tennis event for the residents, which was superb—we had a wonderful time and enjoyed every moment of it.

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

I cant think of any bad thing about the residence. Very happy with my stay here.

Nothing as such. This was the first place I moved into after coming to the country, and I’ve been very happy with every aspect of the locality.
