Overall build and design is very good but the building would have benefited from a residents gym. Additionally, parking is an issue in the area and would have made a big difference had more parking bays been made available for purchase. Overall building management is good but there has been times when communal areas have been neglected by the team.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Lovely new build flats set in a nice quite location with plenty of green spaces and massive open park literally a stone throw behind the apartments. There is a choice of supermarkets all in close proximity but not much in terms of social places to visit i.e. bars, restaurant, etc. However, transport links are good, so your only a bus or train away from some trendy places to visit, eat, drink, etc.

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

I wish I had known that parking was in very high demand otherwise I would have purchased a residents bay. I tried purchasing one after parking issues were apparent but was informed no bays available. More bays should have been made available for purchase opposed to hire.

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

I’ve not reported any issues in recent months but overall ok.

Property design is good but with facilities is average, we have Pod points charging stations around but they have never worked.
Raised it a few times but no response.
Also the proper manager takes ages to respond or never responds

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Locality is good, no traffic noise, and neighbourhood is friendly
Shops nearby is an off licensed shop so usually see people drinking there at night
A new construction has been developed which cause more traffic

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

Charging points should have worked

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

Overall very happy with my home purchase

The overall building design is fairly good. However, I’m not impressed with the sound proofing in the communal areas on the floor levels, as you can hear your neighbours. Particularly when entering or leaving their flats or having a conversation outside their front doors. Additionally, more consideration should have been given to parking in the area. The main street (Rectory Park Avenue) is always congested with cars and finding parking proves difficult almost every time. The houses opposite have driveways and a lot of them choose not to park on their drive but on the street, reducing valuable parking space for those who live in the flats. This could have been prevented by making the street permit holders only (one per flat), as the houses have driveways.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Access to a couple of close supermarkets which is very good. Transport links around the area are also reasonably good. There is a bus stop down the road which gets you to Northolt Station (Central Line) in 15 minutes. There is also plenty of open green and woodland areas which is what I like the most.

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

Parking in the area is very difficult and had I known this, I would have paid the £10k that was being asked at the time for a private parking space, even though I consider the price excessive.

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

I’ve not dealt with the building management team directly.

Residents should remind that they are not the only one park in the area, be considerate to other too.

The fitted cupboard cover can be whole body mirror instead of just a cover, the mirror in the bathroom is too small too. The paint was easily come off. The noise of the residents walking in the street you can easily hear we just close the window so we can sleep as we’re doing night shift most of the time. The type of residents some are don’t care, throwing rubbish in the street. Talking too loud to other neighbours early morning.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Residents don’t care how they park their car, the space can park four car at least but due to residents selfishness some unable to park. Some residents don’t care how throw their rubbish properly,

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

The Building registration is still not ready until now, we moved more than a year already.

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

They answer my question quickly and they fixe my issue quickly.

Overall good but sometimes disappointing

Building is very secure and has 2 security fob access doors. These can be temperamental at times. Flat is very spacious and well designed to let light in. Lots of storage and built in wardrobes are good space savers. Can be difficult to get in touch with building owners and get a response in good time. Could work on better ways to communicate with residents.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Great transport links and not too noisy from the nearby road. Beautiful park located next door. Parking is very difficult and can lead to dangerous junctions as people will double park and create blind spots.

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

New builds do not appear on maps for a while and it can be difficult to get items delivered.

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

I have not had many issues but when I have it has been difficult to get timely responses.
