A lovely place to live in Tottenham Hale
There are limited bars/restaurants/pubs/cafes in the area, but more and more will be popping up. Having the retail park nearby is fantastic, and the station is a five-minute walk from the development giving you access to the Victoria Line as well as trains to Liverpool Street and Stansted.
Please review your development:
The building is beautiful and new. I enjoyed using the co-working facilities and the terrace. It also has great cycle storage and I really liked having 24-hour concierge. The building management send quite a lot of emails which can be a bit overwhelming, but overall I think they do a decent job.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I knew that the landlord was going to put our rent up by £500 after living in there for just a year. It seems like a lot of the apartments in the building are owned by overseas investors that do this type of thing, so I didn’t feel like I was treated like a human but rather just a monthly paycheck for them.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
It is quite confusing who is responsible for dealing with issues in our apartment. The building, the developer, the estate agent? But things are dealt with fairly well.
