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

Tottenham Hale is an excellent place to live, especially for those valuing connectivity. its transport links are outstanding , with the Victoria Line and National Rail providing access to central London in 15 mins. The area is rapidly developing, offering new housing and amenities, making it a convenient modern location. However, there are limited restaurants or eateries, which can be disappointing for food enthusiasts like me. Despite this drawback, Tottenham Hale's accessibility and growth potential make it an attractive choice.

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

The management is approachable at all times and are very responsive, any problems or issues are quickly resolved. The managements’ office being a few steps away from the doorstep makes it even more convenient.

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

That the parcel storage was limited, sometimes it was confusing whether my parcel was delivered or not. However the team managed to secure them.

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

The area is developing but still lacking restaurants, casual places to eat and shop like Waitrose would be excellent addition to the building itself. There’s no nice grocery store in the nearby area. Connection links are very good however the train station can be very busy in the morning. There are homeless people outside of the station which is painful to see. There’s also people stealing phones on scooters etc. Trafić noise from the street in the summer is pretty bad. The park behind the building is getting renovated which is promising but there isn’t many nice places in the area to go to.

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

They can be a bit slow but you can almost always come downstairs and speak to someone in person.

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

I feel like I was provided all of the information that I needed. Something you wouldn’t know otherwise is that longevity paid off for me as I was able to be eligible for a promotion offer and got a discount on my rent.

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

The location is really good, close to a station and loads of shops. There’s also a coffee shop downstairs of our building which is really convenient. It can be a bit rough as it is Tottenham, with phone snatching and homeless by the local station.

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

Imran, Kitti, Alex and benedek are my main go to’s at Gessner. They’re always so helpful and polite and friendly. Imran especially has gone above and beyond to solve my queries at Gessner and since Benedek has joined, he has also been really helpful. The team is an A team!

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

I haven’t quite figured out the maintenance service, there’s a few things I’d need touching up in the flat.

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

The apartment is very close to the subway station and bus stops, and the transportation is very convenient. It's just that the security around the subway station is not very good, and I was robbed of my phone near the train station at the end of November. It would be nice if we could add one more yoga class to the apartment to have more options.

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

When I sent an email to the apartment with any questions, the apartment responded to me in a timely manner. I thought it would be nice to put the link to paying utilities in the way of life app. This makes it easy for tenants to pay their utility bills without missing out.

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

If possible, I would like to know roughly how much extra utilities I have to pay each month before moving in, so that I have a number in mind.
