Uncle - Realstar Living

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

Close to the tube with 2 lines. Green area in front of the building and close to Battersea park, availability of multiple services like restaurants, shops, groceries, pubs, GP, pharmacies, etc. Well connected with bike lanes too

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

Always with kindness, professionalism and on time. Reliable

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

Bills management with name changes is a little challenging, an onboarding process from the building management would have helped

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

It’s close to high street and major shops loke Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Lidl. Also close to the train station.

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

It most of the time takes a while for things to get addressed.

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

Lifts are not as spacious making it difficult to bring in furniture.

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

Good number of small and large supermarkets nearby. Couple of restaurants and coffee shops. A couple of parks - one a good size. Right across from the tube station and close to a couple of useful bus stops. Decent parking availability - street parking outside the building often has a space free. There’s also a couple of areas with free parking a few minutes walk away. Traffic noise can be annoying but windows are good at blocking it out.

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

Your post box key can only be replaced if you keep a record or the key number - otherwise you have to pay a lot more to have the whole lock replaced! Also they get very hot in the summer with the sun through the balcony windows - you just have to manage it with curtains / windows and doors open.

What is the best feature of your home:

The light in the apartments, comfortable beds, and the gym! Plus they keep warm in the winter.

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

There’s a really nice park opposite the building, which is great, and there are plenty of nearby grocery stores like Tesco and Sainsbury’s. The street itself has very little traffic, though the courts opposite can sometimes get a bit noisy in the evenings.

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

Building management has been very responsive. When I had an issue with the water pressure on one of my taps, the maintenance team came within a day and fixed it. Any other queries I’ve raised have been addressed within 24 hours, so overall the experience has been very positive.

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

I wish I had known more about the noise from the football courts opposite. They can be quite loud during weekend days and weeknight training sessions, and the sound carries into the property. It never goes on too late, and it doesn’t ruin living here, but it’s definitely something to be aware of if you’re sensitive to noise.

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

Very handy for Colindale station and access to nearby shops and restaurants. There is some green space nearby and a couple of parks a short walk away. Overall the area is pretty diverse but could have more restaurants.

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

Probably that there is a nearby Police station which means sirens are a regular sound.

What is the best feature of your home:

The design is very modern and so is all the kitchen and bathroom equipment
