A guide to living in North London

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

The location is unbeatable. You have Coal Drops Yard right on your doorstep with endless options for food and shopping, and a Waitrose nearby for groceries. The transport links at King's Cross and St Pancras are obviously world-class, making it so easy to get anywhere in London or hop on the Eurostar. The canal walks are a lovely bonus for a weekend stroll.

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

Management has been very responsive. I haven't had many maintenance issues, but the one small query I had was sorted out the same day. The team, especially Mr. X, really seem to care that residents are happy and comfortable.

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

I loved the outward facing units. If someone requires a quite view, there are ample number of garden facing options as well.

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

I rated 4 stars because the building is right in front of the Victoria tube and the train to Liverpool street. So to get to work and to the city it’s quickly and it’s very convenient! However around the area there isn’t much to do.

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

Yes, always . No issue has not been attended to. Happy overall

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

I made sure I was aware of everything, nothing I didn’t qualify before moving in

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

Easy access to shops and restaurants. 390 Bus is less than a block away. More road works are done than initially anticipated.

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

Yes Ernest is always friendly and quick to assist when things arise. Anthony, Cosmin, Sergey, Afrah, and Edson are all very attentive and supportive, while providing tenants with excellent customer service.

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

More road works occur than initially perceived, which sometimes causes bus not to stop near the building.

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

Beautifully decorated residence with great facilities (gym, yoga studio, roof top terrace) that is a close walk to the tube / train station. Close to retail park with grocery stores and chain shops. Street is relatively quiet - can hear traffic through the windows (we face the street). Overall good value.

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

Quick - resolved issues within an 1hr. We moved in and requested the second bed be removed - when we arrived it wasn't but this was quickly corrected. Though we haven't heard anything back about a maintanence request we placed with the app. Our dishwasher isn't working and no one's gotten back to us.

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

Wish it had of been clear that we had to pay utitilies + council tax ontop of everything. Didn't get a face to face induction so we had to figure things out ourselves which given the price - it would have been nice to have someone walk us through everything.

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

Positive: excellent transport connections (tube, buses, trains to the airport); quiet area as the apartments face the wetlands and nature Bad: poor selection of restaurants and bars, not lots of parks around

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

Yes but not always dealt in the best way. We once raised a lift issue (loft not working for weeks), and they didn't reply to my message but they sent a generic communication to everyone.

Everything reflected the viewing, so nothing bad or good to declare
