The Wiltern, UB6

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

Living in my local area has a mix of positives and negatives. There’s a decent range of local shops, cafés and restaurants, and most day-to-day essentials are easy to access. Open spaces and parks are well-kept and good for walks or relaxing. Transport links are generally convenient, with frequent buses and good access to major routes, though rush-hour traffic can be slow. My street is usually quiet, and parking is available most of the time around the area although it can get tight in the evenings. Bin collections are reliable.

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

Yes but it has taken a lot of weeks to be solved. Some have still not been solved after months of chasing.

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

Wished I had known that parking was not included for the discounted rent apartments.

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

Generally convenient area. It’s very close to a large Tesco and within walking distance of a tube station, which makes it well connected across London. The downside is that there isn’t a huge amount to do immediately nearby in terms of cafés, restaurants or entertainment. Even so, for day-to-day living and transport links, the location works very well.

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

Overall, the building management has been reasonably responsive, but there is still room for improvement. For day-to-day issues they do reply and try to resolve things, though sometimes it can feel a bit slow or like you have to chase for updates on certain repairs.

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

On the positive side, I didn’t fully appreciate before moving in how generous the storage is in the flat.
