The design of the building itself is lovely from an aesthetic point of view
Madison has excellent transportation connections with the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines. Situated right next to Wembley Stadium, the neighborhood is always clean and feels safe. One drawback is the lack of green spaces in the neighborhood; we only have a small park. The building is also close to the Designer Outlet, which has been fantastic to have. However, I wish there were more cafes and restaurant options nearby. Additionally, perhaps more major shops within walking distance other than Sainsbury’s would be beneficial.
Please review your development:
The design of the building itself is lovely from an aesthetic point of view. We were impressed when we first visited. The soundproofing on the walls and windows is impeccable; we have been here for more than a year and have had no issues with noise, either from neighbors or stadium events. I wish the same proofing applied to the main door coming into the flats, they transfer every small sound happening in front of your door, whether people walking or another door closing. Yet, my only issue with sound is with the main door coming into the flats; it transfers every small sound happening in front of your door, whether it’s people walking or another door closing. I wish the same level of soundproofing applied to the main door. Additionally, the painting material is very easy to stain and impossible to remove without removing the paint itself. The facilities, such as the working space and terrace, are also very nice, spacious, and useful to have. Unfortunately, the gym is quite small and a bit grim, but it is always kept in tip-top shape. The building management team has always been attentive and very helpful in our inquiries; special thanks to Maria 🙂 The team always has a very positive attitude and makes you feel welcome every day you come into the building.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The weekend street market isn’t a regular occurrence, but we were thrilled to see it when we visited the Wembley Park area. It contributed to our immediate decision to rent the place, as it gave off a neighborly feeling. The market gets set up once a month or so once the weather gets better.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building management has been very responsive to our inquiries. However, I believe one of the key issues lies with the maintenance team’s allocation of resources and time for each flat. When they do come, they are always very skilled at what they do and are pleasant to converse with (we have had over 3 minor issues and were visited by different people, from someone dealing with white goods to painting walls to fixing furniture). However, there are times when they are unable to visit us promptly upon our complaint. I think they may be either stretched a bit too thin with staff or that the management of the maintenance team could be improved.
