Its a building site, apartments in construction. Derelict houses awaiting demolition. There’s a terrible park that when it rains is intransitable. Patches of dead grass where the excessive number of dogs have killed the grass from excessive urination. BoJo has his Uxbridge church thinking its Big Ben and rings bells from 5am to 1am every hour and at other random times during the hour. Sunday you get a barrage of out of sync bell ringers ringing bells at 10am where not even the double glazing and curtains can save you. Monday and Tuesday is bin collection day, sometimes you have 100+ apartments worth of stinking bins put out on a Friday and have to walk past it for the next three days until its collected. There must be an Ambulance station nearby due to the frequent screaming ambulances you hear from the main road
Please review your development:
Where to start, the building, the main doors to the building have been out of order for 6 months, the door locks fail on a weekly basis allowing anyone to enter the building and roam the halls so keep . Reports of teenagers gaining access to the building and running riot and parcels being stolen from the post area. The intercom doesn’t work so anytime i get a delivery they have to phone me and I end up going down to open the door for them or collect from the curbside. Inside the apartments are ok, they are a “good” spec, but certainly not the “luxury” as advertised, if you enjoy taking a bath your out of luck as the baths are more like oversized shower trays capable of holding 3 inches of water.
Advertised is a “community” however the only community i have seen is antisocial dog owners having their dogs off lead during a pandemic, cigarette and pot smokers on balconies making your apartment smell like and more recently a torrent of flies all around the development meaning your unable to open your balcony door without having 20 flies enter your apartment from outside.
Recently there was a fire in an apartment in our block which was attended by 6 fire trucks and a aerial appliance, I am not sure what the damage was but how do you set fire to an apartment that by law must be fire retardant takes some doing. No fire alarm, no warning, no just in case evacuation, and no news until 16 hours later from the building management team saying they are investigating and couldn’t share any more information.
All that combined with its a building site, apartments in construction. Derelict houses awaiting demolition. There’s a terrible park that when it rains is intransitable. Patches of dead grass where the excessive number of dogs have killed the grass from excessive urination.

This place is not for peace, quiet and stress free living.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Should I have known all of the information on this review I would have stayed away.
What is the best feature of your home:
The internal door to the apartment is pretty sturdy. Boy does it need to be!
