Community feel by the water

Graham (Owner)

Great areas with lots of new local businesses. Much more spacious apartments than other areas nearby close to the canal and riverside away from main roads. Good community feel and decent access to public transport will be made even easier with new footbridge being built to station. Management of buildings generally good with the exception of slow billing and backlogs.

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

Really nice area by the canal and riverside. Good community feel and more spacious properties than the likes of Acton or Ealing. Management good but billing slow and confusing.

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

Generally very quick to resolve issues but billing from previous provider confusing and late

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

The birds on the water can be a bit noisy at times

I really enjoy living at BLW. I think the design and finish of the building is very good.

I really enjoy living at BLW. I think the design and finish of the building is very good. One design aspect I don't like are the pillars on the top floor balcony- they only seem to have these on some of the balconies and not others so it's clearly only for aesthetic and it blocks sun for a big portion of the day.

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

I enjoy Brentford as a whole, there are many pubs and these are varying so cater to different people. I have recently got to know the walks along the canal which are lovely- as are the walks along the river

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

The sales team at BLW are brilliant, they were ever so helpful.

What is the best feature of your home:

I absolutely love the large windows! it's a fabulous feature although does get very hot in the summer!

A secluded oasis in West London

Andrew (Tenant)

It's a beautiful and secluded development. Whilst underneath the flight path, the development itself is effectively a cul de sac and set away from Brentford high street. It's right next to the canal too so is lovely in summer and is pretty peaceful. The other residents are quiet and respectful.

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

Brentford is an area going through a huge regeneration at the moment. Definitely one to keep an eye on! Really close to the Piccadilly line, with the Waterloo main line passing through the town. Also a short bus hop to the Overground at Gunnersbury and the central line at Ealing Broadway. Really well connected part of London.

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

Generally pretty good. Most things are tended to and fixed immediately, or engineers called when necessary.

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

The apartments are really well insulated - great in winter and a lovely hot temperature in the summer.

Nice area

The view is very pleasant from the courtyard. The surrounding is very nice and the rooms are spacious so i have space to roam around. The balcony is useful and the windows are well insulated. I like how there are two bathrooms. The management isn't clear on money though. Im not sure which money goes to where.

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

I dislike that theres no shops nearby But i like how well insulated the rooms are

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

I had problems with loose tiles so the management responded very promptly

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

I wish i knew that the tube station isnt closeby.

Quiet, light and social

This is a great place to live, the design of the flat is great with its big windows letting in a lot of light to the flat, and the balcony is great. I'm not so keen on the flight path as it's really loud.

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

I like the big windows and the balcony I don't like the flight path

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

They've been generally good, taken a bit of time sometimes

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

There's nothing really that i wish I'd known, I'd researched quite a bit
