Faber Green, UB5

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

New build flat by green spaces in a quiet and peaceful central location near bus stops for local buses and 10 minutes walk from Northolt Station. Harvester pub restaurant nearby and 5 minutes drive to South Ruislip retail estate which has big stores and supermarkets. Recycling and rubbish bins inside my block of flats. I have an allocated parking space.

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

When viewing, check the fittings and report anything of concern. I wish I’d known my heated towel rail was broken as I could have got them to repair it before I moved in.

What is the best feature of your home:

Ground floor flat by communal garden. It's lovely to see the garden out the window and from my balcony. Lovely comfortable flat with everything I need.

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

Plenty of bus and train links nearby. Close to convenience stores, restaurants, green spaces and leisure centres.

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

Windows are not very soundproof and are not visited by a window cleaner.

What is the best feature of your home:

The kitchen. It is modern and stunning. There is ample storage space and it is well designed.

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

It's a good distance from the tube but the quickest way to the main street is not paved so if it raining we have to take the long way round which adds time to the journey There is no lighting or fencing round the back of the building. Spoken with neighbours who have seen suspicious activity round the back. A few of the street lights don't work leading up to the property. Can they be fixed? At night it's very very dark you can't see people's faces as they walk past

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

Wish I knew gas metre was outside, there than that

What is the best feature of your home:

Kitchen and bathroom is very nice!! I am happy with my choice to be here but fixing some of this issues would make it nearly 10 out of 10

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

Local high streets are not anything special. Northolt and south harrow Not too far to walk to supermarkets, very driveable for those with cars A few decent open spaces nearby (parks) Transport links superb - Central line at Northolt, various buses including to harrow bus station and Heathrow. Bin collections much better than we first moved in. Parking situation is pretty rubbish. Antisocial behaviour - we had our balcony egged by kids who live down the road. So did another flat Traffic noise not too bad

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

Metal balconys make a lot of noise! They make loud bang/creaking sounds, and that's with nobody on them! Likely due to expanding and contracting or something. Not too much of an issue though. It's also annoying with them having gaps in the floor because when it rains, the balconies above drip so much water even after the rain has stopped. Also people can look down or up through the gaps, when they sweep their dirt comes down, cigarette ash, glass, whatever

What is the best feature of your home:

Big balcony, nice bathroom and kitchen space. Overall lovely flat

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

Overall the area is good. Public transportation is good. Shops and restaurants are less than 20 mins away

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

Parking conditions is very upsetting because sales team never informed that there will be parking restrictions

What is the best feature of your home:

Calm and quiet, material used to build the wall or used to partition is very cheap.
