Excellent transport link. Good Asian shopping but no good general shopping. Nearest good shopping is Westfield Stratford which is a journey by Elizabeth Line.

Received excellent customer service from Shift Property Manager, Sayeed. I mentioned to him about a minor fault with a curtain in our flat. Sayeed came up with me to the fiat and fixed that minor fault straight away. Thanks Sayeed for your help.

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

Very noisy traffic on the street. Most of the drivers coming into side street from the main road, going towards Sainsbury’s parking, do not indicate. This is a serious hazard for pedestrians trying to cross the road,

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

It is right outside a victoria line tube station so it is easy to get in and out of the area. There isn't much built around it - only has a few small shops and cafes. You will need to travel to go grocery shopping properly.

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

If something was broken the maintenance team were quick and helpful to fix. The management team are unhelpful and do drag their feet a lot.

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

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

Blackhorse Road itself is quite nice. The reservoir is lovely. The local area is still pretty desolate though - as evidenced by the "people" who live in Tansy House.

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

The property managers, if indeed they exist, are pathetic. There's also no parking.

At least we rent. I pity anyone who's bought here. What a disgrace.
