Great place, lovely community, location could be better - would still recommend

Achira (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Palm House, HA3

Sept 2024

I've only been here a short time but so far this has been my most positive experience in my time in London so far. Every place has its issues, and of course, Palm House is no exception, but the positives, so far, far outweigh the negatives. Starting with the studio room, I think it is a decent size and has cute furnishings. The bed is a good size and I really like the breakfast bar area as it adds a little more to the room. I cook a lot, so having enough space in the kitchen is really important for me, so I really like that there is ample space and it's not a tiny, cramped kitchenette like most other establishments I've seen. The only negative here is I wish the windows would open a bit more because it gets a bit hot when the temperature rises outside and I am somebody who prefers some fresh air circulation. The community here is lovely, I've met quite a few like-minded residents which I generally struggle with. The folk app may not be perfect, but it does the job when it comes to booking equipment or viewing the resident guides. The staff has been quite helpful in resolving issues and repairs promptly, and Daniel has been especially accommodating of and patient with all my concerns. I've also enjoyed being involved in some of the community events - they can be really fun and a great way to meet people, especially for introverts like me. I love the fitness related ones such as the boxing classes we have on Wednesdays - only complaint is I wish there were more of them or with more frequency! Similarly, really enjoyed Callum's DIY workshop and looking forward to more of them over the rest of my stay! I've been frequenting the gym as it is really handy to have one in the building. It is not massive and doesn't have a ton of equipment, but what it does have is really high quality and it works out pretty well for me, and probably will for most people. The common spaces are well designed and cozy. Perfect for afternoon teas or just a quiet evening in a space that's not my room. If I had to nitpick, I'd love for the events calendar to be a bit more varied from month to month, but there is always at least one event every month that I've been super excited for and learnt something new, which I really appreciate. Also worth mentioning, the parcel room is so handy because it means I don't have to always be home to receive any packages even though it's rare for me, it's nice to have the facility. Overall a great first month for me with a lot of positives peppered with a few problems here and there, but nothing that would deter me from recommending Palm House. Hope it continues to stay this way.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

I think for me the area (and the commute) has been the primary negative among a mostly positive living experience. The building is located close to the road and the station, which is both a positive and a negative. The walk to the station is really short, but that also means the traffic noise is quite high, especially for noise sensitive people.

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

I've only been here a month, and while in the beginning I was slightly disappointed when I moved in and there were a few issues with my room, but over the next few weeks my experience has been quite positive. Daniel has been very understanding and proactive in trying to get things sorted for me to ensure I have a great living experience. Having been previously with really poor landlords who didn't do maintenance and essential repairs for months, living here has been a refreshing change as when issues are raised, there is always effort made to resolve them as soon as possible, even if it sometimes might take a bit of time.

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

I think the only thing for me is the noise. But it also has to do with my room facing a bunch of warehouses (and the road proximity) which can sometimes get really noisy early morning. But in the winter it should be less bothersome when the windows are closed. And again, I'm sensitive to noise, so I don't think this would bother others much who aren't. And the other thing that I've mentioned before, it may be important for some people to know that the window only opens slightly due to some safety related regulations.

The building is pretty good, facilities include a gym a screening room, working areas and social areas as well as a community kitchen and out door space. The staff are all friendly and helpful, with great mannerism, the buildings upkeep is also pretty good.

Close to a lot of amenities, train station into Waterloo whilst still not overly busy.. the area is good

Whoever I have gone to front desk with an issue or problem they’ve been helping

The facilities are great

Diego DC (Tenant)

The Palm House, HA3

Sept 2024

The facilities are great - gym, table tennis, pool table, bar, and socials. The management is always there and ready to help, I've always received all the help I needed. The common areas are always squeaky clean. There is also a big co-working space which I believe is the best about the building

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

There is a big park next to the accomodations, as well as a nice Asda and several Asian restaurants. However the high street could be a bit dodgy at night.

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

Very quick and ready to help, people are r caption are nice and polite

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

The high street is a bit dodgier than I thought given that Harrow is the second safest area in London

All just good for me.

In my opinions I love the security system and the management is very smart plus clean. About the design the community kitchen is the best thing in my world. Finally if there is enough storage room for everyone it would be amazing, however it is fine.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

All convenient stores including local restaurants are very walkable. Only little problem I have is train noise but it is not that bad.

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

Very fast and friendly handyman 🙏 The idea of putting problem into the app and get it shorted is my favourite part.

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

If the river view windows are available, don't be hesitate .

Designed with collaboration in mind

Valery (Tenant)

The Palm House, HA3

Sept 2024

Place is designed with collaboration in mind. There’s a lot of common areas for different types of activities: gym, terrace, cinema room, table tennis, pool etc. Best thing about palm house - warm and welcoming community. A tight calendar of social events allows to meet a bunch of awesome people. Special thanks to the great stuff that makes everything run smoothly. They’re kind and responsible people that make lives of the residents comfortable and fun. Lily, we’re definitely missing your dog at the reception

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The main transport link for me is the train to Euston that brings to the city centre in reasonable time. I can’t give a well-rounded opinion about the area around a house, as everything I need is either in the build or in London.

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

I needed a technician once. After reporting to reception it got solved in next day.

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

Trains from Euston stop going around 1-2am. If you’re coming later from the city centre, it’s either ~1h on a night bus or Uber.
