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

The area is quiet and feels safe, but there’s not much selection when it comes to groceries, and there aren’t many affordable restaurants in the vicinity.

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

For any onsite maintenance, they’re usually quite quick to respond.

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

I wish I had known that the rent increase year on year would be so drastic. After all, they are a management company – they profit from tenants, they're not here to help you.

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

The location couldn’t be better. The building overlooks Ealing Broadway station which has direct access to District, Central and Elizabeth lines. The Ealing Broadway shopping center is 1 minute walk away and has almost every store you could possible need. The neighborhood can be busy but The Apiary is situated back off the street and can only be accessed by residents or delivery (e.g. Amazon).

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

Vesa has requested a 3rd washer and dryer be installed which will be a 50% increase. She has also dealt with noisy tenants politely. Vesa and Joshua put their heart and soul into keeping us residents safe and comfortable.

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

Some apartments are rented to a local educational facility so their occupants change frequently. These short term let’s do not contribute to the building feeling like a home as the people who live there are not on a 12 month lease and are not invested in making The Apiary a community.

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

It is a great area because it is in the city centre where everything is available for me. The tram in front of our apartment would also be beneficial

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

Fast. I had a problem with my windows not closing and they handled it very quickly

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

I would've asked about the noise as it is next to a big road. The cars there are sometimes noisy but the windows are quite good on blocking the sound

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

Communal events are a welcome plus and gives a sense of community.

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

The local shopping and transportation is amazing. The bad aspect is bin location, not in the same building, not easy to carry rubbish during windy and rainy day(as need to get out of the building), also need to open half dozen doors.

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

Yes, very responsive. I had few stuff need to fix, the team all sorted them out.

Would be good to gave a quick guide, like the temp van/car access for moving, the reception running time and etc
