Buying in TW9

[Flowerbloom9]

Hi all,

Our offer has been accepted at a 2 bed purpose built apartment in TW9 and we are about apply for our mortgage approval. I wanted to find out if there is a real issue of living on the flight path. We live in a rental accommodation in W4 at the moment and cant hear much. The person who will be conducting our Home Buyer's Survey has highlighted that the building our flat is in, fall on the red zone for flight path mainly for international flights landing around 4am. This was a bit worrying so I wanted to get your opinion.

Thanks a lot in advance.

I regularly stay with family in Brentford - just opposite Kew Gardens as it happens. The first plane of the morning on the first morning I’m there is always shockingly loud (woke up once out of a dream about an explosion - the explosion was the real plane that had woken me) and then I forget about them.

In fact, I visit a lot right now because I have shitty neighbours who slam doors constantly. I can sleep without headphones there, and often joke about going to sleep under the Heathrow flightpath to get some peace!

It’s a great area too.

@BrentfordBee Thanks! If double glazing can fix the problem, then I wont have to worry much it I guess
