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

Before moving in I wish I was aware of the reduction in amenities provision that started happening few months after we moved in

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

There are local supermarkets right next door. For food there's a couple of pizza joints, a Subway, a local chicken shop and a couple of food trucks within a couple mins walk. As far as commute goes, the Central line underground is literally downstairs and buses are easily available within walking distance. Parking is an issue, bin collection is satisfactory and anti-social behavior is quite rare. Traffic noise is normal given there's HS2 works happening right around the corner.

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

Apartment specific issues have usually been resolved promptly however some general issues have persisted for long periods of time

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

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

live in Rehearsal Rooms in North Acton, which has a good range of local shops, supermarkets, cafés and takeaways, as well as nearby open spaces like North Acton Playing Fields. Transport links are one of the main positives, with North Acton station (Central Line) and several bus routes providing reliable and convenient travel. The building and surrounding area feel safe with minimal anti-social behaviour, though parking is limited and the main road can get busy at peak times. Bin collections are regular, and overall the area is practical and well connected.

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

The building management’s response to issues has been fairly average. They do address problems, but it can sometimes take longer than expected, and communication isn’t always consistent. Overall, the service is adequate but could be more reliable and proactive.

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

I wish I had known that nighttime security in the building is quite limited. While the area generally feels safe, there is minimal on-site supervision after hours, so new neighbours should be aware and take precautions, especially regarding building access and personal belongings.

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

Good: Great location in terms of closeness to station and distance to central London, proximity to supermarkets and few local cafes. Bad: Constant construction noise from HS2 during the day and night time and tube causing mild shaking of the building occasionally.

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

Dependent on the severity of the issues, hot water disruptions are managed as quick as possible. Lift, intercom and main doors take time to be repaired, and when repaired often fall back to disrepair.

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

Noise from the construction site is ongoing and may affect how one wishes to use the balconies. Most of the time too noisy to enjoy being out on the balcony.

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

Coverall good location, small shops just downstairs. Bit noisy in the morning during delivery in local stores

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

It's app for communication with management but better to contact directly as they not replied often on the app

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

Better to get higher floor flats which are more quiet
