L&Q at Huntley Wharf, RG1

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

Fantastic location only 10 minutes walk from Reading train station and 15 minutes walk into the town centre, which has a large range of shops and chain restaurants and bars. The development is close to the Forbury Retail Park however noise is never a problem. Walkable to the Napier Road Tesco Extra. Neighbours in the block are very friendly and there is a great community here.

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

Management have been fairly quick to respond however some issues have taken longer due to delays with parts etc. Customer service can be quiet so you don’t get lots of updates on ongoing issues without pushing.

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

Double check any damage or marks when you move in as they will be reluctant to help if you don’t let them know immediately.

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

The local area and accessible amenities could not be better. The development is a short walk away from a large Tesco extra and Aldi for groceries, and Morrisons, Lidl, Sainsburys can all be accessed by bus or driving. Reading station is exactly 10 minutes walk away with access to London Paddington in under 25 minutes and excellent connections to Birmingham, Manchester and the South Coast. It’s a 10 minute walk into the main town where there are lots of bars, restaurants, and the Oracle shopping centre. Ticks all the boxes!

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

Building management has been relatively quick to respond. It has taken a few chases to get repairs and issues resolved but they have been taken care of pretty well.

The only thing that I wasn’t made aware of before moving in was how to pay my heating bill.

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

The Good thing about this development is the location, less than 15mins away from the local town centre and train station, convenient bus for rainy days supermarket 8mins away which is great as its a big one, and amazing fast food restaurants not even 1 minute away. Its a lively place, the only bad thing at the moment is the construction which is only temporary.

Make sure you follow the agreement you signed, it doesn't just effect you but others. For example: DO NOT throw away household furnitures in the bin facilities, it's an extra charge not just for you but everyone else.
