The Best Renting Experience

Verified Resident
Verified Resident
Review Date Aug 2022

I have lived here for more than a year, and it has exceeded all my expectations of a “smooth” renting experience. The property is exceptionally well maintained (it was almost like a brand new flat when I moved in). And apart from the spacious living area and the good quality of all the furniture and fittings, the management team really stand out as exceptional. They have been nothing but a pleasure to deal with and does make life a lot easier.

Excellent, well thought out facilities like secure mail box access, roof top communal areas, access to an electric grill etc makes this a comfortable home.

Any maintenance work you request is carried out impressively fast by the on site team, and when it requires more time, I was always kept informed.

Overall, an excellent place to live. With the opening of the Elizabeth line, rents in the area has gone up more than it used to be, but even then, I really think that it’s a great value for London.

The only negative is being locked to one gas (electric can be changed) supplier… They use a communal heating system, and I don’t think it is the best value for money…. with the energy prices going up and set to increase even further, there is no option to switch to a supplier with lower rates.

On the flip side, the insulation is excellent throughout the apartment.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Excellent transport links with the Elizabeth line less than 5 minutes walk from the building.

The high street is also less than 5 minutes walk away. With access the most stores you need. There is an ASDA less than 10 minutes walk away….

In terms of Food, you have access to really good chinese / Indian restaurants and the usual fast food chains like KFC / MCDonalds, all within walking distance.

Parking is available in the building, but it costs £100 a month which is normal for the area. In terms of traffic noise, I guess you will probably only be hearing the trains as the flats are right next to the track… But given the excellent sound isolation in the apartment, I barely notice them with the windows closed.

I generally feel safe going out at night in the area, but it can get a bit dodgy past mid night

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

I’d try to sign up for a long term contract that limits rent adjustments for the whole term, with the current rate of inflation, I don’t think it would be long before the rents hit 2k a month in no time.

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

Always, and very quickly. They have an excellent maintenance request system via the tenant portal

Great team, great place to live,happy to BeHere!

The design is modern with high quality fixtures and fitting, the flats are rented furnished with high end furniture. The team at BeHere ismade out pf professional and friendly people, any request you may have they are very flexible and try to go the extra mile for you. It is indeed a great value for the money you pay. The community is of a very diverse background and you cand find the most surprising nationalities and occupations. From pilots, flight attendants and movie cast staff to doctors and even athletes. It is a secure gated complex, with cctv on every corner. The are is not the best due to some shady stuff going around in hayes, but the location of the building is great for commuting because Hayes&Harlington train station is within a 5min walk. Overall i would say this is the best place around Heathrow airport for people working there and even for people working central London because you are just 20 minute train ride away.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

There are a lot of shops in a 15 min walk radius from the building, inclufing ASDA ,Tesco , Lidl etc. The transport links sre great you have the Hayes&Harlington station and a variety of buses.

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

I would have liked to know aboit the constructions in the vicinity, hopefully will be done soon.

APO Kew Bridge

As long-term residents of APO Kew Bridge, we have had an incredibly positive experience living here. One of the standout factors that make our stay enjoyable is the friendly and helpful staff. They have consistently gone above and beyond to assist us with any issues or concerns that arise. The staff at APO Kew Bridge has always been approachable and responsive, making us feel valued and supported. Whether we have questions about community amenities, maintenance requests, or general enquiries, they have been quick to provide solutions and ensure our needs are met.

One of the highlights of living at APO Kew Bridge is the impressive range of amenities and communal areas available to residents. The facilities provided here are not only great for personal use but also perfect for socialising and enjoying time with friends, particularly during the summer months.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Brentford offers a multitude of positive aspects that make it a great place to live. One of the notable advantages is the abundance of green spaces. The presence of parks and open areas creates a refreshing environment, perfect for leisurely walks, outdoor activities, and spending quality time with family and friends.

In terms of accessibility, Brentford benefits from excellent transport connections. The proximity of Kew Bridge station and Gunnersbury station makes commuting to other parts of London and beyond convenient and efficient. This accessibility allows us to easily explore nearby attractions such as Richmond Park and Kew Gardens, which are just a short distance away.

Overall, Brentford offers a peaceful and family-friendly environment, ample green spaces, and excellent connectivity.

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

Living in Apo Kew Bridge offers the perfect blend of location and lifestyle. The greatest advantage is undoubtedly its prime location in Kew, which provides an ideal setting for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking an active and healthy lifestyle. With its beautiful parks, gardens, and proximity to the Thames, there are endless opportunities for outdoor activities such as running, cycling, and leisurely walks. On the other hand, if you prefer a more laid-back atmosphere, Kew’s pubs and local establishments offer the perfect spots to unwind and socialise with friends. Whether you’re in the mood for adventure or relaxation, Apo Kew Bridge’s location caters to diverse preferences, making it a great place to call home.

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

The building management has been very diligent in maintaining the premises. Recently, they have shown great attention to detail in addressing instances of inconsiderate behaviour in the common areas.

The building maintenance team at APO Kew Bridge has demonstrated a proactive approach in ensuring the cleanliness and proper functioning of the shared spaces. Their commitment to upholding the upkeep of these areas greatly contributes to the overall living experience.

Great staff, Nice Building, Good Transport Links

I have lived at this development for 2.5 years and don’t really have a bad word to say about it. The process of arranging a viewing and moving in was hassle-free, and since then the staff have been very accommodating and helpful – especially the property manager Kash Sharma. Whenever I have a query or concern the staff reply give me their full attention and always make sure to address it quickly.
Since moving in there’s been a couple minor problems with our flat (e.g. incomplete sealant in a bathroom or a loose window lock), or with the development (car park shutter breaking), but in every case the building management have made sure to resolve it quickly and not let it become an inconvenience for the residents.
Last, but not least, a roof terrace with electric bbqs, ping pong tables, and hammocks was constructed this past summer. This is a great area that will adds value to the development.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The property is a few minutes walk away from Hayes and Harlington station, which will get you to Paddington in around 20 minutes, Ealing Broadway in 10 to get the tube, or can take you to Heathrow in around 15.
There’s also a number of bus routes that stop by the station e.g. a bus to Heathrow that’s cheaper than the train.
The high street has your standard types of shops, and there’s a good variety of food stores within walking and driving distance.
I’ve not dined out in Hayes, and only ordered a couple takeaways, but again there’s a good variety of cuisines on offer.
My only dislike of the area is that it can be slightly messy and ‘rough’ in areas, mainly because of the area’s lower-class and migrant demographic.

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

Having lived in Hayes for a year prior to moving into this property, I was aware of how erratic the traffic can be. New building developments close to the train station have made this slightly worse.

Kash Sharma (General Manager) at BeHere is an incredible brand representative for the owners of the property.

Our community would not be what it is without the Managerial Skills of Kash Sharma. Besides the incredible tranquility of our building (designed in a modern aesthetic sense of open spaces), it is Kash who keeps the vibe of unity, and harmony alive within each tenant. Supported by Eddie, I have found that Kash always goes beyond the call of duty. When least expected, he will come up with events such as Group Exercise during quarantine (with each tenant standing at a distance outside their balcony). During the end of each session on Thursday, there is a siege of emotion which seems to overflow within the community (all thanks to Kash Sharma). Here is a group of builders that not only invested in great design and material in building the BeHere complex, but they also went the extra mile to invest in great people (Kash, Eddie, Brian and Hayley). Safe, secure and serene…..three words that define BeHere.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

There is nothing to dislike. Walking distance from the station, grocery store, pharmacy, high street shops and bus stops. An absolute one stop solution for anyone who wants to simplify one’s life. The best part is that in precisely 20 minutes one can find themselves in the heart of London at Paddington Station (four short stops away).

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

The incredible goodness of the people that Manage the property on sight (Kash Sharma).

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

Instantly. Immediately. Effectively. Spotless and clean at all times.
