Gravity Co Finsbury Park, N4

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

The local area is dangerous and unfortunately the crime rate seem to be very high. There are quite a lot of homeless people on the same road as Gravity, unfortunately.

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

They barely reply to our complains, and gaslight us by saying that we are wrong and there is no issues.... when we literally have pictures and videos to prove it. Appalling, honestly

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

That even though (some of) the people living there are great, it can not make up for issues with heating, hot water, washing machines and lack of safety due to broken locks that don't get fixed for months

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

Please don’t move here, the management of this place is appalling and they lie to your face . We’ve been left without heating and hot water countless times, what they say they include in the contract they don’t, our complaints have no effect. It’s so so expensive and just not worth it. Don’t do it. Don’t move in or you will be tied to a contract you can’t cancel.

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

Barely reply to our emails and phone calls, have lied to tenants and we all found that and the emergency number we’re supposed to use almost never gets answered.

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

That I should have not moved in because this is the worse managed place I’ve ever lived in.

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

It’s very conveniently located within a short walk to tube station and thameslink. There are a lot of grocery shops around and, of course, Finsbury park is right there and it is just perfect for that morning jog

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

Any issues raised to the management were addressed right away

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

I do not have any insights. Everything in the property was exactly as described and presented by the management

Finsbury Park has excellent transport links, amenities, and local parks. It's ideal for someone who commutes to the city centre or occasionally works from home. There's some anti-social behavior in the area, so being mindful of your surroundings is important, but if you take precautions it is a great place to live.

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

I have had some small maintenance issues in my room which Gravity Co. solved in a reasonable amount of time. However, there are sometimes issues external to my room (laundry machines, security doors, and building facade issues) which seem to take much longer to solve than necessary. Gravity Co. seems to have trouble getting approval from the building owner to address some of these larger maintenance requests.

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

Gravity Finsbury Park is ideal for people who want to get to know their flatmates, so make sure you are connected via the Gravity App and try to be involved in occasional activities to make the most of living here. There is some anti-social activity in the neighbourhood, so ensure you are mindful of your surroundings and do what you can to help keep the building secure.

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

The area is pretty rough, one of my housemates moved out after a few weeks, apparently because she didn't feel safe in the area. Pretty much all of my female housemates have been harassed by strangers in the area, i.e. coming from the station. There are also drug addicts, drunks and pickpockets. I wrote to the police airing my concerns and got no reply, I'm sure many areas of London are like this. You definitely can't go in the park at night. Random homeless(?) people go through the bins outside and occasionally are hanging around in the street annoying people.

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

Fairly swiftly, although sometimes ignoring concerns and then saying that it's not an issue and closing the ticket.

It would be good for future tenants to know that the community is great. There are ~36 people and I would say that most people interact with us, but there are some people that don't communicate, it would be nice if everyone who lived here was part of the community.
