About Annington

The flat is awesome. Everything is high class and modern. It is also so well designed and so spacious!! And it has lots of storage space. I could never imagine so anything else like this in London. I also got a large balcony with a stunning view.
Another great thing is pets are allowed. I am planning to bring my dog and my cat from Romania. It is just so nice living in a place like this as everyone can have their pets and the building is full of life.
Despite the pets, everything is extremely clean all the time. The neighbours are all really friendly and respectful, and take a lot of care of the communal areas of the building.
It is really nice and quiet inside the flat. I know that is an issue with most modern flats in London but here I cannot hear the neighbours at all which is amazing. I cannot even hear things going on in the room next door which is great.
We got underfloor heating and good insulation to make sure it is always warm inside! The ventilation is also really good, and with the balcony and the large windows you can always fight the heat too.
The building also feels extremely safe as there are so many doors in order to get to the flat. And we got CCTV everywhere. It is perfect.
Another great thing is we got a large communal bin area in the bottom floor where the parking lot is. This is perfect as you can take the bins put any day of the week without having to bother about collection dates.
I showed inside the building to Dafne and Nick from Home Views so they could see themselves how amazing everything is.
I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER.

I love my flat. I call it my little crib. The one bedroom flat is perfect for me, my husband and my cat. It comes with all the essentials you need. It is nice and compact.
It is also very well insulated. Heat really stays inside, and we got underfloor heating. The hot day was quite bad but it is London so it is only occasionally that it gets this hot, and having a well insulated flat helps save a lot during winter.
Building management is alright. I have had a few issues, though. The bins area is a bit disorganised at times. I have also had some issues with people smoking inside their flats, which is technically not allowed, and people being throwing parties at night being quite noisy. I emailed them about this but had no response. I am happy these type of reviews are completed as I feel more heard, and hope these issues are solved, as overall the building is very nice. Building management has done nothing about people smoking and the parties, despite my emails.

I moved to PinnPoint Uxbridge in mid June 2019 due to my career. Previously I had lived close to both family and friends which I had grown up around, so the fact that PinnPoint had advertised that they were keen to create a community within the three blocks of ‘luxury apartments’ really enticed my daughter and I to move here and to create a new life for ourselves in a new city.
Soon after moving into the apartments, we realised that we had been sorely mistaken about the kind of establishment we were going to be living in.
On moving into the flat, it was clear that it had not been cleaned and made ready for someone to move in, something that didn’t leave a good impression on me or my daughter. Further to this, issues that were highlighted to the main office on the day of moving in were not sorted until 3 months later when I chased them up again and asked if they knew how long it would take for the repairs to be sorted.
In addition to this, the community spirit that we were promised by the marketing suite wasn’t often promoted and the events that the suite ran were during normal working hours, meaning that people like myself who were at 9-5 jobs could unfortunately not attend.
The biggest issue however was that there was a lack of security within the buildings, this being the main reason why my daughter and I decided to move out. On multiple occasions, we heard from other residents that bikes were being stolen from the underground car park because the doors were not locking automatically as they should have been after residents had gone through them. Furthermore there was occasions where teens from the local area gained access to the car park and vandalised cars and the walls within the car park, as well as gaining access to the actual apartment buildings and vandalising the inside of the lift and stairwell, as well as the hallways between flats. This violation of safety in the apartment building was a scary time and meant that I no longer felt comfortable in my own home, requiring me to leave and go where I felt I would be safer.
Furthermore, enhance and exit gates were you need a fob to enter and exit the premises have not been working for a while and are instead left open so that anyone can walk into the communal gardens and use the facilities that residents pay for. During these times, it was almost impossible to get a hold of a member of staff in order to talk through a problem and the emergency number for mainstay was extremely unhelpful.
I understand that the pandemic will have made it very difficult to orchestrate a lot of the things that were planned for the flats, however over the 2 years in which I lived at PinnPoint, there was very few times that I was completely happy with the service and the experience of living there. It very much feels like you are just there to pay rent and are not valued as a resident at all. I know I am not alone in feeling this way and when it is bought to the attention of the marketing suite you are met with hostility instead of hospitality. For some this may be the perfect place to live, however when I cannot feel safe in my own home because the security features that are sold to you are not working, I simply could not stay there any longer. ‘Luxury living’ is very much miss-sold to the potential residents of these flats.

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.
