Great Living Experience with Supportive Management

Venkatesh (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Charter Place, TW3

Apr 2025

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

The local area has a nice range of shops, cafes, and supermarkets within walking distance. There are also a few open green spaces nearby, which are great for a walk or some fresh air. Transport links are generally good, with buses and train stations not too far off, making commuting fairly easy. The street is quiet for the most part, though parking can be a bit tricky at times. Bin collections are regular and there’s minimal noise or anti-social behaviour, which adds to the peace of the neighbourhood.

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

The building management has always responded quickly and professionally. They’re polite, helpful and make sure issues are resolved without delays.

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

Honestly, there haven’t been any major surprises. Everything has been smooth so far. If anything, I wish I had known how responsive and helpful the management team would be, it would’ve made the decision to move in even easier. A small tip for new neighbours, it’s worth getting to know the team early on, as they’re genuinely supportive and make the living experience really pleasant.

A decent start but needs lots of improvement

Sora (Tenant)

Verified Resident

UNCLE Acton, W3

Apr 2025

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

The local shop variety is simply ok. It's not awful but it's nothing special. You definitely have to travel a little to get to anything decent. The availability of transportation is great. Trash is ok. Could be much better though. Traffic noise isn't bad.

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

Yes they have but not always great. More like a business owner /boss from America. Your just a number.

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

That the only heating was just under floor heating. Plus the heating system seems to decrease even when nothing is being used. Also the rent requirement will always be something I rail against. You are essentially pricing poor people out of getting a place to live. It's scummy. I get the supposed logic behind it but there are better ways to operate. Even in America this practice is considered scummy.

Good area but facilities needs improving

Richard go (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Hamlet Gardens, W6

Apr 2025

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

The street is very safe and lots of nice shops and restaurants nearby especially being near to Hammersmith, chiswick and shepherds bush. There is also a nice park nearby which is nice to walk around. The safety of the area is good too. I just feel there are often dog poops but these tend to be managed well and cleaned up shortly.

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

Very well. We haven't lived here much though but we felt concerns were addressed well.

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

The water pressure. It seems like something affecting the whole hamlet court building. We believe it could have been improved. Hopefully, something is done to it.

Notice for Shared Ownership Residents

David B (Shared Owner)

Verified Resident

The Green Quarter, UB1

Apr 2025

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

No pubs in the local area, and no supermarkets beyond Iceland (which sells overpriced, low quality food). Relatively safe and clean area. Elizabeth Line is a boost (when it works). Canal is a welcome addition for a Sunday stroll.

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

See amenities comments above. Also, monthly service charge is unusually high.

What is the best feature of your home:

Good sized balcony and high-quality Bosch fridge / dishwasher / washing machine installed.

Great Flat, Confusing Post!

Sandra (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Hamlet Gardens, W6

Apr 2025

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

Good includes Ravenscourt Park, close to shops and independent cafes. Bad aspects include the post service mixing up the buildings and flats on the street on a daily basis.

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

Relatively quickly and solutions usually found, overall good.

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

Receiving post is an issue and sometimes it’s hard to get hold of the property management team over email.
