Excellent stay at the Quarters by Bravo

Jan 2025

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

The Watford high Street boats every store, amenity and restaurant that one could imagine. The gym and a variety of supermarkets are only a short walk away making the location quite convenient.

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

Always flexible, professional and swift in responding to requests.

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

Be mindful of the quiet hours because your neighbors will definitely complain haha

The Quarters Watford, WD17

Jan 2025

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

The local area is convenient, it is accessible for work and entertainment purposes. There is a bar area and they hold events for the guests which I have really enjoyed and I am looking forward to more events in the future!

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

No issues raised, as I have had no problems. I have noticed they come in and check if everything is ok of time to time though!

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

No, not really. Just wished the restaurant stayed opened but they started to do events that have been entertaining.

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

Excellent location 4 mins walk to Watford Junction and 3 mins walk to Watford High St and shops and restaurants.

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

Should have known more about the developer and their service and quality history. Clarendon may just be a really bad apple amongst their portfolio of properties. Insist on completing the snagging before you complete your purchase.

What is the best feature of your home:

The views from the roof terrace are the best. Cinema room is fabulous. Location is second to none with main station and High street within 3-4 mins walk with a vast range of shops and restaurants. Central London is a quick 15-20 mins by train.

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

Lovely place, nice neighbours easy to get around, Morrisons supermarket right next door, retail park 5-10 mins away, Also a shopping centre, good parking on-site, everybody is really friendly and welcoming as a community and is kept extremely clean!

Very quick response, I had a problem with my stove, reported it at 8pm, it was sorted by noon the next day

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

The surrounding area, I didn’t know it was so multi cultural and so much different options of foods/goods in the area which is great
