St Bernard's Gate, UB1

Amazing place to live! The sizes of 2 bedroom flats is bigger than average in this area, the soundproofing is good, flats keep warm really good too. In winter months, most of the time live without heating. Temperatures in the flat never go down below 16 degrees, so only tiny amounts of heating needed.

Being next to the hospital has obvious pros and cons. Building and grounds are maintained well, however, you pay the price through the service charges. Good to be in lower rise buildings so doesn’t feel like a congested development. Could do with more communal facilities.

Everything is great except the fact our neighbours can see us in our bedroom from their balcony ( the way it built), but overall love the development, it’s lovely! Want to say big thanks to Stel and Emmanuel for helping us with the purchase. We were even thinking of buying a property here, but they helped and guided us through and we are very grateful:)

Sorry for typos , needed to do it on my phone as building does not have internet cable ! I bought a flat from Catalyst with Help to buy. it is built as cheapest and lowest quality possible. I mean I've never seen such a incompetence and ignorance in entirety of my life. They claim they have a after care and fix their issues, thats not true , they actually came and caused more damage as they dropped the door and damaged the wall and flooring (and he had a cut finger from his previous project and blood was all over the door . I didnt know it was catalyst engineer blood and I touched it . God knows what type of illness can be passed by blood but catalyst doesnt care) Home was soled andI got a key with no electricity! now after 3 months ,noticed that the extractor fan was off for a while because of no electricity and the extractor fan channel is full of spiders (it has no filters and if it stops working basically any insects can enter the building ) I raised this to so called after care but they simply ignored. Also the balcony door is not well sealed and the engineer who came to fix wanted to fix it with glue ! (same guy that his blood was all over the door ) Cables are left with no socket in the kitchen and under the kitchen cabinet was full of rubbish. The electricity meter and intercoms were registered to other flats. I mean I can list forever but you get the point. My advise , if you hear Catalyst housing , you will better sleeping under the bridge than a house or flat built by Catalyst. It's too late for me as I'm trapped and lost the only opportunity of my life to buy home because of Catalyst. God knows how long I need to save and spent money to fix the issues that new house should not have! On the area , the common area is used by ealing general and mental hospital employees and patience for smoking . So you see kids are playing in the area few meters from group of hospital employees smoking .very awful to watch.

The design of the flat is good and it is quite spacious for a single person. It would be nice if they built a supermarket on site in the commercial space and there is not any supermarket nearby. The property management is poor I have not heard back from the defects form that I emailed over a week ago. It took Catalyst a couple of months to fix my heating. There is a massive pot hole in from on Kinglake House which is very unattractive. Hopefully the construction team will lower it down and cover it as it may be an issue when I sell my flat. There a huge demand for parking and the bollards are often tapered with, which is very frustrating. Greggs is ok, but it definely be nice to have an aldi or sainsburys local onsite
