Not well with the intercom system issues. I’ve followed up a few times and always get the same response “maintenance team is looking into it” this has been going on for months

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

Issues with the intercom system, fire alarm tests every week

The best part of living in wembley park is the lively environment during summers and some amazing concerts next door. The same becomes a problem as well as most roads are closed and any travel and movement becomes limited . I wanted to get a cab as i was unwell to the hospital but had to walk and reach the drop/pickup location to reach . There should be some exceptions to the vehicle movement . Another point is we need something like Primark and Boots around . That's where we tend to have access to cheaper fashion at the same time a exhaustive medical shop is needed which also has good brands for personal care . I have had bad experiences in the discounts and options for shopping in LDO .

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

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

There is a good range of local shops, restaurants and bars, with several parks and open spaces nearby. Public transport is generally convenient, with regular buses and good connections, although services can sometimes be delayed or crowded. My street is mostly quiet and residential, but parking can be difficult, especially in the evenings. Bin collections are generally reliable, although traffic noise can be noticeable at busy times. Anti-social behaviour is not a major problem, but there can occasionally be some noise and litter.

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

Building management has generally been responsive and professional, addressing reported issues promptly and keeping residents informed about repairs and maintenance.

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

I wish I had known that parking can be difficult during busy periods and that some maintenance issues may take longer than expected to resolve. I would also recommend checking the level of traffic and noise at different times of day before moving in. Overall, the building is comfortable and well managed, but these are useful things for new residents to be aware of.

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

Good aspects: Lots of dog parks, young working people and families, easy tube access, relatively safe compared to central London, secure buildings Bad aspects: All the in-building gyms too small, small flats, high rent, no added benefits for being a local, tough on event days if it's a particular type of crowd.

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

They are responsive in terms of any repairs etc but the responsiveness does not always translate to a problem being fixed like the washing machine not drying

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

It's a great place if you have dogs and want to be around other young people but groceries around are very expensive so you'll find yourself either overpaying at Sainsbury's or ordering online
