Design is disaster. The flats are designed in the way to keep heat! The flats do not have AC and in summer times, specially heat waves, staying in the flats are not possible.
The rubbish storage is full of mice in the summer. The bin are not properly designed. That’s why most of people do not throw their rubbish into bins! There us no recycling bins at all!
Management of the building is not satisfactory. Many parcels have gone missing as the eneterance door does not work properly.
The location is less than 5 minutes walk to Harrow On the Hill Station and Harrow Town centre which is great. However, it is on the high road and there are a lot of noises due to cars and ambulance. It is about 10 minutes to Northwick hospital, therefore too many ambulances during day and night pass this location which is really annoying. The building does not have a parking, and there is not that much space for parking. There are few parking slots for council. Surprisingly, you will be charged for Sundays despite other London councils.
Regarding bins, I’ve seen other neighbours came to this building and throw their rubbish.
There is a pub and one house which people rents as Airbnb opposite side of the building. Therefore, in summer times it is too much noise until 1-2 am!
1- The building is located in the main street and it us very closed to the Northwick hospital and police station. So, there is too many ambulances and police cars alarming during night and day. This is really annoying.
2-The flat above rubbish bins can not open their windows in summer due to smell and flies. The rubbish bin container become mice places in summer.
They do not answer any phone calls! If you are lucky, they answer your emails. Regarding rubbish bins, the issue has not solved out after almost 1 year! Regarding the maintenance, the team does not work great!
Becketts house is a new building which has most of the facility required for residents to live. Studio is a luxury studio having all new furnished items. Each studio has different design so you may have different advantages or issues in different studio.
My studio has sufficient space and I get natural light and ventilation is good too. Here all are electric items and so you can expect lot of electricity bill.
My window is facing at road side so I get lot of noise all day. It is very cold inside during winter and we have only one heater for whole studio which is not sufficient, you may need to buy another heater during winter time.
We have a good transportation facility near by, we have bus stop and train station within 5min distance which is very convenient to travel.
1. I am new to UK and renting in UK is new to me. There is no break clause in my agreement. I should have discussed and known what happens if I break my contract. So if you are moving here make sure you have a discussion on break clause with agents and how it looks like.
2. Its very cold inside studio and one heater is no sufficient.
Building manager is very helpful whenever you need. He even helped us to mount our TV even though it’s not his job. He helped in other occasions as well and responds to us properly with any suggestions.
The flat is good if on the smaller side, especially for the rent. It is, however, well-built with excellent appliances. The design is simple but works well. The main issue is outside of the flat. The common area are in terrible shape, especially the ground floor. There are some effort by the management to deal with that but so far it’s been widely insufficient. Many non-residents manage to get inside regularly. When the staff is there it’s much better but it is not staff 24/7. The new management is friendly but extremely slow and make mistakes that should not happen. I must say that it is possible to talk with them to solve issues but it’s very very slow.
The area is rather good. It’s not the best part of London but they are many shops, restaurants etc around. The large Sainsbury’s very close is pretty useful. The connection to central London is good thanks to the Elizabeth line.
That the 24/7 security would get axed. Since then, the common areas have become absolutely terrible.
Very slowly and after a lot of effort on our part. That said, they acknowledged their mistake even if it should have been faster and more straightforward.
The design and the view from my flat is amazing. With the change in management, the building management is better. We can easily raise the issues and get resolution for it. However there are some persisting issues related to bins overflowing / tenants not disposing rubbish correctly.
We do not know the user code of the building since it was changed because of recent cases of stolen deliveries and the code hasn’t been given to us.
The town centre is just 3mins walk from the building hence there’s a good range of shops, restaurants and bars around. The are lots of green open spaces around the building. It is very convenient with multiple shopping centres, open spaces and underground station at stones throw.
The bin situation is a bit messy. The bins are overflowing always. Many a times the rubbish is outside the designated area. This is partly because some tenants keep the rubbish on the bin lid and this prevents others from opening the lid to put the rubbish in.
As the building sits on a busy road and station, the traffic and train noise is constant, but you get used to it.
Once you live here, it will be very hard for you to leave the area in case you ever think of moving again.
The bin situation is messy
Recently it has improved a lot. With introduction of an app, it is easier to raise issues and track rent, etc.
