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

We have roughly around 6 local shops within a 4 mins walk and a large Sainsburys 4 mins walk other direction. 17 mins walk from Perivale station and 10 mins walk from Alperton station. Unfortunately only 1 bus serving the building and it can take forever most times. No real noise or anti social behaviour but can get busy on road around school hours as 2 schools nearby. Parking is very disappointing as I spent £15k on a parking space and was told it's for me or any visitors that came. After buying and moving in then I was different that it has to be only me parking there with a var in my name and to my address. I brought the car space mainly for visitors and now as I dont have a car. I was lied to and now wasted £15k. Also we were lied to saying there will be visitors passes but after buying then being told it was a mistake.

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

Parking situation in which I was lied too. Building looked good on just looking but underneath, the workmanship is soooooo inferior and shabby.

What is the best feature of your home:

Design, close to work, local shops and a beautiful view.
