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

The area has a good range of local shops, supermarkets, cafés and restaurants within walking distance, with a variety of options for everyday needs and dining out. Transport links are very convenient, with frequent bus and nearby tube/train connections, making travel into central London easy, although peak times can be busy. There are also pleasant open spaces nearby for walking and leisure. On my street, parking can sometimes be limited but generally manageable, bin collections are regular and reliable, and there is minimal anti-social behaviour. Traffic noise is present at peak hours but is otherwise fairly quiet and residential.

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

The building management has generally responded promptly and effectively to any issues raised. Problems are acknowledged quickly and usually resolved in a reasonable timeframe, with clear communication throughout the process.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how busy parking and nearby traffic can get during peak hours, which isn’t always obvious during viewings. Also, it can take a little time to get used to how quickly bin collections and maintenance schedules operate, so planning around those helps. Overall, the flat itself and management are good, but these small day-to-day practicalities are worth being aware of for new residents.

Marco has been great since he started, always keeping us updated and is very approachable. He has been a great addition to the team

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

Delays with heating repairs which isn't ideal. The engineer came once but didn't quite fix the issue so he had to turn up again. With commercial resident buildings, the heating can be an issue and some can be complex

The location is one of The Wullcomb's biggest selling points. It is couple of minutes walk from the city center, so shops and restaurants are all on your doorstep and St Margaret's bus station is just around the corner making getting around a breeze. There's a Sainsbury's bang opposite to the building for everyday essentials, and within the building itself you have Esquires coffee shop and a private fitness center. Leicester Royal Infirmary is also just a few minutes away, which is hugely reassuring and the area has several GPs, dental clinics and schools nearby making it a great fit for all kinds of residents. The building has on site parking and for guests, there are few onsite parking space and ample paid parking around the building. Despite being on a main road, the traffic noise is surprisingly low. Bins are managed by the concierge team so that's one less thing to think about. In terms of safety, Always felt very secure — access to the building is restricted, the concierge team are on hand around the clock, and it's a genuinely safe environment, great for families and kids too.

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

In my nearly 5 years of stay, I had requested adjustments due to unexpected situations, Karl always responded positively. Whenever anything came up, the response was prompt and reassuring. The concierge team are available around the clock and on the couple of occasions things needed dealing with quickly, they were straight on it — no fuss, no delays. Always felt like things were being handled by people who actually cared. Zero headache.

After nearly 5 years, honestly there's not much I wish I'd known , which is a good sign. I have no complaints. It genuinely felt like more than just a place to live. That's hard to get from a viewing alone.

Ideal location to live in, great accessibility to train station, tram and buses. Lovely pubs around the area. 10 mins walk to Edgbaston Reservoir which is a great place for a evening jog. Major supermarkets are close by.

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

Almost instantly, very professional and prompt in sorting out issues.

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

None, everything is as good as I was explained before moving in. But the parking lot cleanliness is something which I never thought would be such a mess.

Colindale has great transport links, pretty easy to get into central london on the northern line. There’s shops a good distance from The Draper apartments too

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

Unfortunately this is the only aspect of living here that’s been highly disappointing. The building managements approach to problems or issues raised overall is quite poor. Their responses to any issues or problems raised are very slow and you have to keep chasing them for updates which means you could have a fault in your apartment for weeks or months on end. There is no urgency to fixing or resolving issues which shouldn’t be happening for apartments that are quite new in the first place

I think most information is shared during viewings if you ask the right questions about the building, area and any additional costs
