Kash and the team so a fantastic job. Be here Hayes is a great place to live if you want a high quality flat which is very comfortable with fantastic transport links. The room terrace is an added bonus.
It’s fantastic for people who work in London and in reading – straight trains to both!

Thank you Rebeca, we’re glad you enjoy the events we host.
Very nice development.
The development is new, well furnished and comfy. You don’t need to buy a lot of stuff when you move in. The house and in particular the kitchen has all the equipment needed (heat, dishwasher, fridge…). In addition, a car park is available, a nice rooftop to chill with neighbors, guests or members of your family.

Located 3min away by walk from Hayes and Harlington station, in 15min you are in London paddington. Tesco is nearby and the ASDA hyperstore, house shopping is not a problem. Also, Hayes town is also full of all what you need.

Never had a problem, there is always a solution. Very good choice.

Thank you so much for that great review, we really appreciate it.
Had 2 amazing years in here!
Flats are modern and have everything you need. The building has a nice rooftop with tables, barbecue and hammocks. The team is amazing (Kash is always helpful and goes the extra mile to help all tenants) and I think having a professional landlord makes life so much easier that I don’t see myself having a regular landlord in the future!
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Hayes has everything you need for your day to day, especially when you live near the main street (trains station, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, etc), however, we couldn’t find places to go for a nice dinner or going out for a walk, and considering that we are stuck at home because of COVID we couldn’t travel to the central area so often, so we missed having some options near by.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I believe my flat was perfect, but I would probably have a different experience if it wasn’t facing the street. I believe it can be quite noise to live facing the rail or below the rooftop (as you can probably hear people walking above you).
If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:
No complains about the flat, the one I used to live was big, furnished with quality furniture and had a lot storage space.

Hi Paula, thank you so much for your review. Kash and the team really appreciate your feedback, we’re glad you enjoyed your time at Gatefold.
Community spirit and the community vibe that Gatefold offers is rare to find in London.
Gatefold is a great residential complex to live in. One of the most significant positives is the community spirit and the community vibe which Gatefold offers, quite rare to find in London. The building management has been very supportive to residents’ feedback and always deliver, especially the very proactive property management team. Kash with the support of his team (Eddie, Brian and Hayley) have been splendid. They have been core in maintaining the community spirit especially during the current Covid times, by organizing community events and the most recent fitness events which is a savior to lot if us residents who are stuck in our apartments for the last 2 months. The fitness events were brilliantly organised ensuring that social- distancing was maintained throughout the event. Kash and his team have gone an extra mile to maintain the community spirit even during such challenging times.

The area has changed and evolved since I moved over 3 years ago. Nothing to dislike – in fact the area has become much more favorable since other developments opened up. A good change in demographics has made it more attractive in the last 2-3 years.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The property management has done a good job with this aspect.
What is the best feature of your home:
The Patio and the roof top is the best feature especially during summers. With the current crisis with social distancing measures in place my private patio has been a blessing.

Thank you for your kind review, we hope you stay with us for more years to come.
Finding a home, not an apartment…
I loved be:here from the moment I arrived. The warm welcome and service from showing us the available apartments to the helpful guidance as we moved and settled. The apartments were designed with comfort in mind. There are fun activities organized to increase the sense of community.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Conveniently close to the train station and bus stations. Chemist, markets, groceries, cafes, and stores a short walk away. Good food and services close by.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The property managers were very honest and helpful so I knew everything I needed to know.
Excellent service
The team is very helpful, looking always for feedback and ways to improve service. Always go the extra mile. They are very creative and create interest in new ways for neighbours to participate in activities alongside to meet each other.

My flat is next to the railway, so it’s really annoying especially at night when I wanna have a sound sleep.

Enjoying the great living experience since they first began!
Great apartments, great staff always supportive, good facilities and a good community. They acknowledge feedback and act on it. The new face lift for the rooftop improved recreational options for the residents and was positively welcomed by all the residents. One of a kind in the area.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
One of the few pet friendly residential complex in the area. The station and bus stops are less than 200 m away making commutes easy.
