Overall design is good i would say as time goes by things do change such as security for this building i feel has gone less before i would see more guards around the builing now i just see one at nights specially. Also the lifts gets out of service quickly now. So hard for me as im on level 10. Also the parking is a big issue for me as i dont have the basement parking because its so expensive i feel per flat one parking should be free atleast

The rear entrance has its advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, it provides easy access to the tube station and Osterley. However, the lane can feel a bit unsafe at night due to some individuals using the area for drinking.

1. Renewal Price - You may see higher renewal price. So it's better to ask how much you could expect rent to rise at each renewal. 2. Best Times for Amenities: The gym and common areas are fantastic, but they can get busy during peak hours. If you prefer quieter times, mornings or late evenings are generally best. 3. Building Community: The community here is welcoming! Look out for social events or gatherings that the management sometimes organizes; they’re great opportunities to meet neighbours and feel more at home. 4. Package Delivery Tips: With Amazon Fresh and other deliveries common here, knowing where and how packages are stored could be handy. Our management has a reliable system, but setting up notifications with delivery services can help you stay updated.

It's always about location, location & location. 15 mins to Heathrow Airport. 20 mins to Hammersmith. 10 mins drive to Twickenham and 30 mins drive to Staines. High Street is just 5 mins away and there is a Amazon Fresh on the ground floor, which opens from 7am to 11pm. Again, you can't ask anymore when it comes to location.

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

Whenever you talk to them directly and send an email to them, you always have a quick response.

Hounslow is a diverse town in West London and the High Street may not be the most visually dazzling place. Definitely I should have taken my time and felt out the vibe before I moved in.
