Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Right next door to a gorgeous park and you can get to the tube station in less than five minutes. Also love that you can pick up a lime bike directly from the front door and cycle down the canal to Hackney - heavenly in the summer
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Management have always been on hand and gone out of their way to help us with any problems.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I was nervous about the sound of building work when we looked round as there’s a lot of development in Tottenham Hale but the buildings are really soundproof so you can rarely hear anything. Also, it’s a car free building so you don’t qualify for an on street parking permit BUT on street visitor parking is £5 per day which works out as cheaper than most parking in London so make sure to apply for that online.

I've lived here for a few months now and the staff are all superb and make you feel welcome! The place is kept very clean and overall very organised and a pleasant place to live. I've met some of the team, Imran, Kitti and Ben who are all superb and go the extra mile to make you feel like a valued resident

N/A thankfully nothing has gone wrong but I trust they will react swiftly.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area has a number of diverse shops catering to the diverse population which is brilliant. There is a clear issue of antisocial behaviour in the form of drug addicts. Fortunately the pub on West Green Road can no longer host late evening events which is a good aspect as occasionally their guests would crank up the music and could be heard a good distance away. The pub is in a heavily dense residential area.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The only way to get anything done is to raise a formal complaint and even then, they never respond within the timeframe specified.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
As mentioned, security is a huge problem. Crackheads smoking in the buildings, doors and gates consistently broken. There are a number of families living here and the constant struggle of keeping safe is taking a toll.
