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

Great location close to Brent Cross as well as right by the Thameslink station. Not a lot of shops yet although new restaurant opening is a great addition.

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

Not needed to involve management as all issues sorted out by brilliant concierge team.

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

Not much. Pleasant place to live. Good underground parking.

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

-Commuting is a nightmare. Also, massive cost to do so. -Coop downstrairs is great. -The area is very much not walkable as there is nothing to do around here. -Very dodgy characters around in the evening.

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

Building management looks like they are being pulled in all directions. There is no strategy. Also, every time I speak to someone I feel like they're trying to make excuses rather than resolve my problem.

Leasing lies - always. Never trust them about anything unless it's put in writing.

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

Bad aspects: - Very difficult to commute to/from if you're a working professional. The thameslink service to kings cross is unreliable and the tube station is too far away to walk daily (~20 minutes). Very inconvenient in hot/rainy weather. - Not much to do. Some improvement on this part, but generally the area is going to be a building site for the forseeable future, compounded by the noise, dust, and people that come with it. - Unsafe after hours. The lighting is not great in communcal spaces, especially if you need to walk to the tube or thamselink station. Security on site mostly absent, not enough. - Groups of youths that look very suspicious keep walking around and cat calling ladies. - Access to Heathrow or Gatwick is a pain as generally not good transport links. - Transport links get very expensive very fast. - Wish there was a gym close by I could go to because our one is very badly managed and uncomfortable. Good things: -Nice cafe has opened at the GF of one of the buildings. -Coop on the ground floor is very helpful when you need stuff.

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

See point above. Multiple residents have apparently flagged too hot gym to management. It was fixed but for some reason we seem to have gone back to having an uncomfortably hot environment "because it's winter"??? Ridiculous approach. I tried flagging the new manager but he was mid kicking off to a staff member, so I walked away. Generally, not a good impression.

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

The reviews are genuinely good when you look at them, but then you realise that they are left by people that are here for a very short time. Once you've been here longer you start seeing the pattern and the real issues.

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

Great location Brent cross station 2 minutes waking, lots of restaurants, bakery, restaurants around…

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

The building management team has always responded very quickly and professionally whenever there has been an issue. They are approachable helpful and always willing to listen and find a solution.
