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

There are several supermarkets, cafés and restaurants within walking distance, which makes daily life quite convenient. Open spaces and parks are also nearby, offering a relaxing environment. Transport links are generally reliable, with easy access to buses and trains, though they can get crowded during peak hours. My street is usually quiet, but parking can be limited and bins are sometimes left out longer than they should be. Fortunately, there’s not much anti-social behaviour or traffic noise.

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

The building management usually responds quickly to urgent issues like broken lifts or heating problems, but for less urgent matters, response times can vary. Overall, they are polite and helpful, though follow-up could be more consistent.

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

I wish I had known that some communal facilities like the gym or laundry can get very busy during peak hours, especially in the evenings. Also, noise from hallway doors closing can sometimes be heard inside the flat. New tenants should check water pressure and heating when viewing. It’s also worth asking existing tenants about average utility costs and service response times.

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

Good: 2 min walk to train station, plenty shops, takeaways, and parks around. Bad: 1.Teenage brawl or group-vape can be seen at the doorsteps of this apartment brawl. Football fans very loud and friday night groups are really loud when walking pass the apartment sidewalk. Today I saw the whole punching incident and so much blood on the floor (5 steps from the entrance of our apartment). 2.Many Construction Sites - loud noises and irregular working hours: So multiple site are all under construction, the ground floor commercial units, the round office unit near station, and the fenced up land right in front of the apartment. So many thundering noises from 7:30am to 6:30pm, really affects adults', baby's, and pets' sleep and mood. I'm writing this down cuz during our viewing our sales said it won't be loud... 80-120 Decibels could be heard in the bedroom. 3.Transport Link:Elizabeth line is very unreliable especially weekday mornings, it's not 20 min to London as advertised - you have to add a lot of buffer time and transit time to mitigate the risk of being late to work, and weekday ticket price is quite high, people should be aware of this before moving to Maidenhead.

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

Very passive aggressive attitude and gaslighting attitude regarding a pressing flat problem when we just moved in. Very appaling. We have to keep following up that urgent issue ourselves or else they won't solve it or give a timeline. no sorry in the first 5 email exchanges, only say it after we demand an apology, ridiculously oblivious. Event frequency they didn't improve after raising the issue, still very low frequency and bad food (twice was good only)so we'll wait and see if things get better.

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

The following is not true:"You’ll have Wi-Fi included and set-up so you can get connected from day one." This quote is listed on website (still there on May 31 2025) and I am telling you it's not true because oh boy you have to contact a number and set up yourself and our neighbours got it from day 7 we got it from 10... And the setting up process affect our moving in/unpacking because the only way to set up is call a number and wait on the line for almost 3 hours, and it is time-consuming and very anti-modern. And then you have to wait a few days for the wifi to be successfully connected. Get Living should eliminate this process like other built-to-rent companies, or else it will be false advertisement to list that sentence on their website. Also, if you work from home then you can only rely on you iphone's hotspot to do your work in the first week. I wish they at least let us know when we did our viewing or signing the contract. Construction around and under the flats are noisy. We didn't hear anything when doing our viewing. electricity metre number mismatch situation is a mess when we moved in, and they haven't emailed everyone yet whether or not it's resolved.
