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

Location fantastic, near a canal and overground. Population is a mix of young gentrifiers and former social housing ppl.

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

I would have liked to know about thin walls, leaks obviously and the two years scaffolding for cladding and then balconies for which we got a meagre compensaiton (less than 2pct of the rent for the time spent with no light)

What is the best feature of your home:

Location fantastic, near a canal and overground. Population is a mix of young gentrifiers and former social housing ppl.

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

There’s a ray of shops from off license to yoga. The bigger stores are only a small walk away with dalston and shoreditch being just round the corner. Transport is a couple mins walk also. Friendly neighbourhood. There’s a bus stop close by which takes you more or less everywhere in London.

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

I have no bad reviews to give to this. I Found out everything I needed too.

What is the best feature of your home:

The design and layout of the buildings. Can tell a lot of time was spent on this.

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

the area is quite quiet and chilled out which is nice. Very spacious and no high rises. The apartment is also right next to the canal which is nice. Plenty of restaurants nearby however we do lack a good closeby supermarket.

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

there is nothing i wish i had known before moving here
