This is our family’s second stay at Cedar Lodge. We love coming back to this apartment as it really feels like home. It is spacious enough for our family of 4 adults and is also conducive for us to work remotely when we had to. The property is just a stone’s throw away from both the underground and overground. From the stations, we could easily get around London very quickly. Very close to the property are also an abundance of amenities… barbers, laundromat, supermarkets, pharmacies, local stores and, of course, restaurants serving a variety of cuisines. Tonu, who is very welcoming and helpful, is very quick in responding to our queries and always tries her very best to provide us with what we need. We thoroughly enjoyed both our stays there and definitely look forward to staying there again!

Tonu at Homesearch Properties has been the best. I’m an overseas landlord and have been bitten by contractors who have charged me a substantial amount of money and provided a below standard refurbish with a mountain of things going wrong once they left which had to be rectified. Tonu came on the scene and took over for me. She is super responsive and attentive to mine and my tenant’s needs. She seeks to get the best contractors at the best price for me. She’s truly been a blessing since I’ve been introduced to her. If you want a quality service by a professional agent please try Tonu at Homesearch, they’re truly wonderful. P.S. she also thoroughly research the tenants and won’t just place someone in your property just to receive the commission, she seeks to protect your asset!
