The Sessile, N17

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

Transport links are incredible!!! I wasn’t able to get a parking permit but have unlimited access to visitor permits which are just £5 a day, which works out as much cheaper than other parking options in London.

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

Jinia has always been immediately on hand to help with any issues and queries and is endlessly patient, knowledgeable and supportive! So grateful to have her in the building :)

I wish I’d known that we don’t qualify for parking permits!! But I’m grateful that with the support of management, I’ve been able to resolve my parking challenges.

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

Location is perfect, the Victoria line is empty at the station in both direction even in rush hour. Shops are opening every month, supermarkets 3mins away. The views from the building are great since there isn’t any other big buildings nearby.

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

Once we have a leaking pipe that ruined a bit the painting of the wall. The maintenance team fixed in 2days (Friday Saturday). They even repainted the wall.

The apartments are beautifully designed with premium finishes, and the amenities are extensive and impressive, including a gym, communal lounges, and concierge services.

There are also several cozy cafes nearby that are perfect for relaxing or working remotely. • Open Spaces: There are green spaces and parks within walking distance, ideal for a morning jog or a leisurely stroll. • Transport Links: The Sessile is well-connected, with multiple tube stations and bus routes nearby, providing easy access to central London. Negatives: • Traffic Noise: Some nearby roads can be busy, especially during peak hours, which can lead to occasional noise. • Parking: Limited on-street parking options may be an inconvenience for residents with cars. • Bin Collection: Though regular, bin collection schedules could be improved for convenience. Overall, living at The Sessile combines modern comfort and a prime location, despite minor inconveniences.

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

The building management has generally been responsive, but there have been times when I’ve had to follow up multiple times to address issues. For instance, I’ve had to remind them about cleaning in certain areas and ask them to turn off lights that remain on unnecessarily. These small issues can be a bit frustrating, as it sometimes feels like they aren’t addressed promptly without reminders. While they are ultimately attentive, the process can be a bit complicated and require persistence.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is the limited availability of on-street parking around The Sessile. For residents with cars, finding parking can be challenging, especially during peak hours. Additionally, while the building is generally quiet, occasional traffic noise from nearby roads can be noticeable. Knowing these factors in advance would have been helpful in planning for a smoother transition.

Nice park nearby, with sport facilities (tennis court, football field, etc), essential shops (asda, tesco, boots, etc) within 5-10 min walking, good transport links (Victoria line, national rail, bus) within 3-5 min walking

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

Very promptly, there is an easy ticket system for any issues

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

Not sure, all is up to the expectations as it was quite clear and transparent

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

We're only 5 mins from the station (train, tube and bus) and 8 mins to shops and supermarkets to suit all budgets. It feels (mostly) safe to walk around the neighbourhood, it is London after all!

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

This is a mixed bag, generally very well, but there have been a few hiccups along the way.

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

Nothing I can think of, most of the frustrations we encountered wouldn't be replicated now that this is an established site.
