Excellent location with a local shop & butchers, pubs are within walking distance. Road noise is not much of a problem & it’s a very quiet area.

How rude on site staff were after moving in. After they have your money the customer service gets forgotten.

We have a sainsbury local just over the main roD and co-op on Hanwell fields as well as indin restaurant, subway, chip shop, and charity shop. There is no bus to the estate so short walk to dukes meadow if you want a bus yo town. They play parks are we cared for and thr charente love them. The main road has not been finished yet as they still building the estate. Some people do drive a little fast on the estate but I think it could be delivery drivers. I have very friendly and supportive neighbours that have been there throughout some tough times. There's plenty of parking on the estate for resident's and visitors. I live close to Warwick Road but only hear it if I have doors & windows open. I live in a quiet little section iff the main road. The inly problem with that is there are no street lights down our area. The bins on the are emptied regularly so the estate looks clean and tidy. My family have been impressed with the estate to the fact 1 daughter brought a house here just over a year ago and a 2nd is just waiting for hers to be built.

No lighting down our area as coming home in the dark can be a little scary. I feel extremely lucky to have made some good friends on the estate

Sainsbury's Local just outside of the estate which is a very short walk away. Argos click and collect inside sainsburys as well. 2 parks on the Hanwell Chase development as well as a playing field with football post put up. Lovely fields which you can access and walk round or cut through into Hanwell itself which has a nice pub. Some more shops 5minute drive away down Dukes Meadow Drive.

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

When we moved in, the houses oppposite where still being built. I wish someone had advised me how much brick dust comes in through the windows as I would of kept them closed.

The building management have responded respectively and swiftly in order to fix/ correct and maintain my property.

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

I didn't know, initially, that the floors would be unfinished ie. no covering. This was an unexpected outlay however I'm pleased to have my own style. I wish I had been given an option for the colour of the kitchen doors as the brown that I have is not so great and looks more like student's accommodation kitchen than a modern, fresh and mature kitchen. Regarding the bathroom design. I would never have put the toilet directly opposite the door. This reduces room and also we have a risk of the glass shower screen smashing against the sink!! Finally, the batons provided above each window are not strongly secured and really could do with extending beyond the window by a few inches - giving the option to fit a wider pole thus allowing for curtains to be fully drawn off the window and allowing more light in.
