Add your review to unlockRenting privately from L&Q, who manage three buildings in the development but provide no on-site staff for defects or complaints. Only a caretaker handles rubbish, who is praised, while L&Q itself is rated very poorly.
Colindale Gardens is a nice development built with top-of-the-range materials, and is recommended. Property management is very helpful, though physically fixing a defect can take a while.
Uncinia House is well built and well maintained, and slightly cheaper than many nearby rentals, making the empty units surprising. Recently soared prices may explain the vacancies.
Colindale Gardens is a village-like development of over ten blocks, with more still being built, but remains quiet to live in. Residents show a strong sense of responsibility towards their neighbours, which is rare elsewhere.
In Uncinia House over three years, two leaks occurred. The first left the main bedroom unusable with a soaked carpet and mouldy wardrobe and took over a year to fix. A second kitchen leak, likely from the flat above, remains unresolved after 11 months despite two contractor visits.
Modern building kept clean and tidy by caretakers, with a large foyer offering sofas and seating. Building and property management are readily available for any issues or queries.
