Electric Quarter, E3

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

A deprived area under gentrification. Should be better in the future. Lots of nearby amenities and good transport links.

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

They have tried to fix multiple defects. The waiting time is usually a minimum of 8 weeks. The efforts to correct are normally poor and require multiple attempts. Still working on defects nearly 4 years after purchase.

I wish I had known about the poor build quality.

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

The transport links are very good with many buses to Enfield Town and in all directions of the borough. The overground trains take you down to Liverpool St station and Seven Sisters for a connecting London train. There’s a good range of groceries and a large Tesco on the high street. The restaurants are predominantly Turkish, good quality and relatively inexpensive. There are plenty of other fast food options such as fish & chips and fried chicken too. Our street is reasonably quiet but the local school does attract parents who insist on parking where they shouldn’t be. Litter is the worst issue here & it does make the place look very untidy at times as the council have not yet brought the area under their jurisdiction for street cleanliness.

We’ve had good and bad experiences. The easy things don’t take too long but the more complicated matters such as grass and soil depth have taken years

Make sure you test all the features in the house and keep a notebook of what has and hasn’t been fixed or where there are imperfections.
