They were always there for help. I got a leakage in my apartment but it was fixed within 30 mins.

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

This is a fantastic area with plenty of shops and restaurants, very walkable, and a very new development with new things opening every month. Undoubtedly one of the most modern areas of London with new buildings and developments. The only thing I did not realize is that the tube station is massive and can get hectic. We are used to it but the first few times take getting used to!

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

Responses are instant and issues are resolved immediately. Whether maintenance or other, there is always someone available to help.

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

There is nothing I further I needed to know prior to moving in. All representations, videos, and tours were an accurate representation of the real living experience here.

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

Super close to Tott Hale station (you can't take over 5 mins even if you crawled..lol) and there are a fun cafes and spots to hang out in the evenings and weekends. The building itself has a lot of common areas which are beautifully done and make for a fun meeting place.

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

Nothing major so far but minor stuff was also resolved quickly (WiFi for instance)

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

Cannot think of anything, the whole process was transparent upfront.

Lovely place in London to live

Xchange Point, N7

May 2025

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

The area is fantastic. Close to Islington, King’s Cross and Hampstead heath . Lots of shops and close to the tube for central London

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

Gloria has been fantastic to deal with and Catalin is always good at any maintenance issues

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

The hot water / heating system is communal and doesn’t fall under the usual consumer protection you’d expect so it is more expensive than being able to shop around for normal gas / electricity.

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

The development is just at the edge of coals drop yard and the King’s Cross Related Argent estate and benefits from all its top quality facilities to include state of the art security ( both Manned and Unmanned ) .

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

Any issues are listened to with care , either promptly resolved or if /when immediate resolve is impossible an interim solution is being provided until a complete sensibly satisfactory resolution achieved .

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

Author Benefits from an extremely sleek and attentive and professional/ experienced on site management team who are based at the building. The Front Desk / Concierge is the Hub for main resident and visitors. The front desk team correctly acts as interaction point and is manned by an extreme able , well trained and attentive personal . The level of of service by the team is exceptional ( to say the least) and the desk is covered 365/24/7 The core concierge team has two shift, well overlapped with seamless handover between the team members . The shifts are well managed where at “Rush hour “ ( 19:00-21:00) the night concierge and one of the day concierge are there together supporting each other . It is a pleasure to watch and well thought through . The team members act with integrity and inteligence and with sensible empowerment. The concierge team members ,during the day , Nelson ( who has been in the building since its opening and so familiar with everything ! ) , Afrah (with her charm and willingness ) Sergei ( a very experienced hotel concierge) and Cosmin ( with Natural calmness and assistance )are diversified and have complimentary skills between them working in harmony and efficiency sometimes at an extremely difficult situations . Absolutely superb and hard working team - each with their own strength who try best to work in harmony together Thank you The night shift run By Antony ( who has been in the building from he outset )and Edson who has recently joined and looks very promising . Night time management ( especially during the weekends ) can be extreme difficult but both Antony and now Edson ( makes the building feels extremely secure together with dealing with their other duties . I have seen Antony deals with most difficult situations during the night with stride which is commendable . Edson is a new addition to the team and looks very promising . The on-site management is making sure that if additional cover is needed when one of the core front desk team is away , it is always supervised by an existing experienced other team member. It is important to note that the common parts ( internally nd externally ) are well maintained and the house keeping internal team is extremely pleasant & managed well .
