The design of the development is fantastic

Hatfield Rise, AL10

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

It is quite an isolated area at times, there's 2 good restaurants and that's about it. The local pub is great, however on the weekends it does get very noisy when pub goers are leaving. The transport is good! The parking availability and restrictions are awful, the limits are more than the have in central London, this prevents me being able to have guests for longer than 3hours which isn't fair, as when I bought the flat I wasn't aware they were putting these restrictions in place. There can sometimes be anti-social behaviour, which does frighten me at times when I'm walking alone.

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

I wish I had known about the plans to implement extreme parking restrictions.

What is the best feature of your home:

I love that I have two bathrooms and the balcony is fantastic and excellent storage space.

Always flexible, professional and swift in responding to requests.
