Please share one thing (or more) that you wish you had known before you moved in:
Lift breaks down a lot

Ground floor and Basement walls are a little battered from people moving in – it would be good if these things could be repaired and repainted as appropriate.

Pros:
1. Good transport links

Cons:
1. Limited parking

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

I was not aware of the the heating system before I moved in.
It was not mentioned that this would need to be paid separately on a pay as you go system.

What is the best feature of your home:

I live in a corner apartment so the best feature for me is my living room which has two large windows and balcony window/door. This provides me with lots of natural lighting.

It was our big mistake that, we brought a property here at Harrow One (Hill and Origin Housing collaboration). I would not able anyone as it’s not a safe place to stay.
