Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
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
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Charter Place is situated right in the center of Hounslow East high street, just a minute’s walk from the bus station and three minutes from the tube station. There are three to four reputable schools nearby, making it a convenient location for families. The high street has a vibrant Asian community with numerous dining options.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has been quite responsive to the issues I’ve raised. They address maintenance requests promptly and keep residents updated on any ongoing concerns. Overall, their proactive approach has made a positive difference in our living experience.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
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.

They usually respond in a promptly and friendly manner.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I'd like to know that due to many residents in the building and the neighboring buildings some nights are quite noisy even late in the night.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Location is superb. It’s right next to the station but we don’t get noise from the train. I love that it’s on the river and dog friendly, there’s so many places to walk the dogs and the community is so lovely. There’s local shops for groceries, beauty and every sushi less than a 2 minute walk away. I can also get the bus really easily to get to the district line or Ealing Broadways Elizabeth and central line. I feel safe walking my dogs at night here.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very quickly. The handyman is there everyday and quick for repairs.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There’s so many lovely coffee shops and pubs within walking distance. It’s easy to spend money on a dog walk.
