We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

So far it had been ok. Not much of a problem. Sometime take a bit long to get through via email. Or phone call. But they do tend to get back and answer all the questions. It is a pretty development to live in. And very nice neighborhood with lovely neighbors.

Design is nice all the houses are stunning. Would love if there was a local shop on Oaklands Hamlet as sometimes you just need to pop to get a couple bits. Property management I’m not sure about as they have people cutting the grass every week then charging us extra on service charges.

Overall a nice place to live. Always tidy and well maintained. Allocated parking bays are a plus! Green areas are well maintained, there will be a park (although believe that is delayed) . Nice to have a walk or run around the development. Shuttle bus runs to Hainault station of a morning which is helpful.

We did have a few initial niggles but L&Q did their best to resolve it. At present we have no pending issues. I think a lot of residents would be happy if something could be done about increasing the parking space. The waste water management also needs to be resolved for long term, as presently its being cleared by tankers which causes additional traffic.

The development is kept nice and clean, the new wheelie bin service for rubish collection starts in the next few weeks. The green spaces are also regularly maintained. We had few issues with the house when we moved in which were sorted fully and quickly by the aftercare team.
