Lovely design and location, needs some fixing

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

It's a nice location, right next to the canal so lovely views. Theres a corner shop opposite to the building for quick needs and its a 5-10 min walk away from uxbridge town centre, very close to a lot of amenities and the train station and a gym less than 5 minutes away. Relatively clean aside from occassional littering outside the building. There is a car park right beside the building. Bin collection is good.

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

Very quickly and very well. Have had a good experience with this

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

The flats get very hot and there is not air conditioning, some flats don't have windows in the bedrooms so be wary of the heat especially in summer. Good for winter though.

Locations of the building is amazing, everything that you need is close by. A lot of transport just nearby 2 min away

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

Responding fast, but not doing any action to fix any problems inside the flat

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

My personal opinion before the tenant moved in , better to arrange the check-in report with a new tenant and do all the checks with tge person, who is going to live there. Then nobody will be disappointed

Quality of local shops is great

Maya (Tenant)

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

Quality of local shops is great, availability and transport links are excellent. Anti- social behavior is really average.

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

They just replied that they aware of the issues but takes a month to resolve it or they just say it’s not their responsibility to do that issue and we have to call police or contact with council and these two organizations will say it’s your landlord and building management responsibility.

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

If they were aware of the building lift issue which is always out of order or just one of them is working. And about CCT which is not working in this building.
