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.

Blackhorse Road itself is quite nice. The reservoir is lovely. The local area is still pretty desolate though - as evidenced by the "people" who live in Tansy House.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in was the quality of property management. If I had known that the management would be so disappointing—delayed maintenance, poor communication, and lack of transparency—I might have chosen to go with a different agency or even another property. It’s crucial to ask more detailed questions about how responsive and proactive the property management is before committing.
