Aspire, Herschel Street, Slough

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

I have been living at Aspire for quite some time now and, overall, I am very happy with the development. The location is great, although parking is definitely a major issue and probably the biggest downside. The building itself is in very good condition. In terms of cleanliness, everything is generally well maintained, apart from the current rubbish issue, which relates to the new development and is being handled by a third party. The person responsible for cleaning does their job with great care and attention, and it is genuinely nice to come home and already feel comfortable and welcomed while walking through the corridors. One negative is that residents on the lower floors can hear almost every footstep from the apartments above, which can sometimes be frustrating. Overall, I would definitely recommend living at Aspire.

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

Absolutely no complaints. There is always someone available to contact, regardless of the time of day or night. The team is responsive, approachable and always willing to help.

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

Children playing football around the development can sometimes be a little disruptive, but it is definitely not something that would change my decision to live at Aspire.

Ive had a really positive experience since moving in, and I’d especially like to give a big shout-out to our Block Manager, Usman, who has been extremely helpful and supportive throughout. He’s always been approachable, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure any issues are dealt with promptly. A special mention also has to go to Jullian from the maintenance team, who has gone above and beyond to resolve the issues we’ve had. His hard work, professionalism, and dedication have genuinely made a difference, and it’s greatly appreciated. Overall, I’m very grateful for the excellent service and support from both Usman and Jullian. They’re a real credit to the team!

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

The building management has been professional and responsive, addressing any problems raised promptly and keeping me informed throughout the process. Overall, issues have been handled efficiently and satisfactorily.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how important it is to familiarise yourself with the building’s facilities, management procedures, and communal areas from the start. Overall, the development is well managed, but knowing how to report issues and who to contact for different matters would make the moving-in process even smoother. I would also recommend new residents taking the time to meet their neighbours and familiarise themselves with the building as soon as possible.

Slough has it's reputation as is, but the location of the property in my eyes is perfect, across the border of Zombie Land (the high street) just about far away enough for to avoid the nonsense of the area, but close enough to walk to all the places you need to; the high street, the station is literally 5 mins away, all the shops and big supermarkets you need. The parks just around the corner are amazing and peaceful, so close to Eton and Windsor. Also the GP is literally across the road which is amazing.

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

Any issues I have are communicated and understood very well to and from building management,

Understand the building's delivery in terms of large deliveries and organise yourself in advance or use the pickup at a location like the Londis right in front of the property.
