Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area has so much to offer, its two stops on the central line to Westfield and the complex has a gym built in. The local stores are a short walk away and a 5 minute walk to the station.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have been super responsive and always reply as quickly as possible.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How much room we would have had in the apartment !!! I feel like I need more furniture to fill in how spacious it is!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
There is a Sainsbury's and Tesco just downstairs, and the tube station is right next to the building. The Elizabeth Line is also within a ten-minute walk, which makes transport very convenient for commuting. However, the construction site nearby has bright lights at night, which can be quite disruptive and affect sleep quality.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management team is generally responsive and able to resolve most issues within a reasonable time. However, there are occasions when it takes a while to receive a reply.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known about the noise from the nearby underground trains, which can be quite noticeable at night, especially if your windows face that side. Also, there’s ongoing road construction next door, and the bright lights from the site at night can be quite disturbing. If you’re sensitive to noise or light, it’s worth checking the flat’s orientation and nearby developments before moving in.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Above all else, the people who work here are the best! Really kind and helpful. Can’t fault them! They’re the highlight of this place! Otherwise, the location is great - the Central line, night tube and Elizabeth line, all within easy reach. It does feel like a safe area, but there are spots of anti-social behaviour. The local betting shop always has a group of people in masks outside. They must be shy.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Quickly, and with lots of care! They listen to your problems and help resolve them as best they can.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Quite a few false promises, unfortunately, but they do understand and do the best they can, with what they have.

Do not come here (low standard, expensive, middle of nowhere, …)
Cech (Tenant)
UNCLE Acton, W3
May 2025
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area is not safe, as there is nobody it seems safe. But it is not, I have seen two stabbing crime scenes walking my dogs in the area within 3 months !
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
If you have pet you will have to pay 50£ per pet per month, it's not a joke! And the price for a car is even more ludicrous.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
You can read on the website front page : "but it will also have the fantastic amenity spaces that UNCLE Residents are used to like a private gym, roof terrace and more." Almost all the tenants from Uncle Acton I have talked to are frustrated to pay for the gym and facilities we never had to date (may 2025). On the website the first promise they give you is there is a gym. Not finished but you pay for it! You pay for the rooftop as well, not finished too! But you will pay for it obviously, it's Uncle Acton.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It is very convenient to live here, there is a very big Chinese supermarket downstairs, tesco and many kiosks around, all very convenient. The metro station is just a minute's walk away.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Whenever I had a problem, I contacted the front desk to deal with it and it was efficient, usually today's problems were solved on the same day, and the flat was very comfortable with all the amenities.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There is a gym on the first floor of the flat, so this resource was well utilised and I went every day, the facilities were very nice and the aunts cleaned and cleaned every day, which is perfect for a cleanliness freak. At the end of the 24th year, the flat opened its own coffee at the front desk downstairs, which is a blessing for sleepy people!
