Welcome to North London, home to some of the most popular postcodes in the capital. This place fuses charming village centres with architectural gems and fashionable high streets, so it’s easy to see why half of London’s eight million-strong population have laid down roots here. Read on to hear about some of the best places to live in North London.
The space in the smallest studios is very limited
There are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants at the doorstep. Convenient location in terms of transport links since it’s opposite the overground stations and several bus stops. The apartments facing the main road have to deal with traffic noise 24/7.
Please review your development:
The apartments have a modern design and were brand new and the time I moved in. The biggest pro is the central heating which is included in the rent price and comes very handy during the winter months.
The space in the smallest studios is very limited which makes the rent price rather disproportionate for what they offer. The quality of the materials is very poor, i.e. flimsy shower set, metal frames in the bathroom have sharp edges which has led to a couple of cuts, the painting on the bathroom surrounding the sink area came off after only three weeks after I moved in, etc. The windows have no isolation at all from the cold and the traffic noise. The water temperature and pressure are not consistent.
The property management is responsive generally speaking, however, it took me 9 months and a complaint sent to Enflied Town council in order for them to fix my broken windows. They kept ignoring my complains until I reported them to the council.
Overall, not the best property I have lived in London. You don’t get any value for money.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I would advise anyone looking at reting the appartments facing the high street of the terrible traffic noise since windows are not prepared to isolate this noise. Also, I would advise to check all the appliances and features before moving in. My windows were broken and the property management did nothing until after I reported them to the council.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
