Location is very close to the station so good transport links into Heathrow, Uxbridge, West Drayton, Ealing, Paddington. Asda, Lidl, Sainsburys and Tesco are all walking distance- cant fault the location at all.

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

The only teeny weeny issue that I can think of is the inter connectivity of the flats and the intercom. You can only reach certain flats using certain lifts (so have to use the stairs if that lift isnt working) and the intercom only opens certain doors- so you still have to go out and go to ground floor to let people in. Since I am on the first floor, this isnt much of an issue- but would have been if I was on a different floor.

What is the best feature of your home:

The general size of the flats. The open plan kitchen/living and the balcony.

The downside is the being so close to the railways that we can’t really enjoy the balconies. But England being England, hot weather is not that often and we have a nice roof terrace to compensate.

I wish I had asked about being able to remove furniture to welcome our baby in the second room

Also, the property team is so friendly and try all options to make residents happy and engaged, especially during the festive season. They organise social gatherings(Christmas), drinks evening, etc for the residents. We have enjoyed these very much during our tenure so far.

In their property, they have different flat layouts, which will really help us to take our decision better. The rooms are spacious and overall, you will not find such great layouts in any other properties in Hayes. You can plan your own private parties inside the premise and even the property team give permission to use their office as well :). Overall, it is very clean property. Outside the premise, the dog park is also there. Having said that, this property is a pet-friendly property. 2-level secured Car parking is also available but comes with some cost and I think is the situation everywhere.

We have been very satisfied resident so far here and it has been a very enjoyable experience! With the price you see for a like to like property, 9/10 times, I would choose Gatefold / Be:here over other properties in Hayes. You will enjoy living here, especially with young children and pets. Great transportation links (buses or Elizabeth lines), access to daily needs shops, small, mid-size of bigger, from local shops to ASDA/TESCO/LIDL.

Nothing I can think of but gym / sports related anything should have been present according to me

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

From a Maintenance angle, I never had a problem with the water supply, electricity and internet except for a few exceptions. Every property has maintenance issues but the resolution time of the property team is fast enough to make you feel satisfied. Maintenance team comprises Eddie, Rajan and Brian. Brian is the Master of “ALL” trades 🙂 They responds promptly and they try to resolve issues as soon as possible. They make necessary and timely communications with the residents to keep us updated with the progress of any common maintenance issue resolution. Sometimes, delay happen due to the dependency on the external vendors, which is normal everywhere. Security aspect is also great here except for the occasional intrusions during summer (For using our great terrace).

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).

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