The design of the building exterior and property interiors is very modern and edgy. However, some of the communal interior could benefit from an improved finish. Some of the facilities are still in development (e.g. gym, restaurant, shops) which is frustrating.
However, we have use of bike storage and there is a refuse area situated in the basement next to the car park. Our experience of the property management has generally been very good – they are responsive and considerate of our needs especially given the current cost of living crisis. Furthermore, they arrange some good events for the residents from time to time.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Great transport links (tube, elizabeth line, overground and bus routes). Reasonable choice of convenience goof shops (Tesco and Sainsburys). However, the options for local restaurants and bars is very limited – there is only a student bar located opposite the building. There is free parking available nearby but it is a 10 minute walk. As we are located on the busy A40, we are subject to a moderate amount of traffic noise.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
As we were the first tenants in our apartment, it took a long time before our energy and council tax billing was set up. This required a lot of chasing in the first instance but has now been pretty seamless.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, they have helped us with minor repair works and helped liaise with the maintenance teams who sevice our apartments. They were especially helpful in replacing my access card when I had it stolen. The team have also been useful in sorting out billing/meter enquiries
