Edgware is a suburban area of North London that sits mostly in the borough of Barnet but also with a small section in Harrow. Edgware offers a safe and relatively green option for famililes and young professionals, with a great selection of semi-detached properties to choose from. The last two stops on the Edgware branch of the Northern line serve the area alongside Canons Road and Queensbury stations on the Jubilee line.
Promising but unfinished and disappointing.
There aren’t any local bars or restaurants unless you walk to the main highstreet, however this does make the estate quiet. Good transport links into central. Parking has been a bit of a nightmare where people park where they want despite being told when purchasing the properties no street parking. Also, bins regularly don’t get collected due to naive residents and it’s residents that have taken action against other residents to try and stop extra charges been applied not the management company.
Please review your development:
Overall good location and has the necessity’s and also great views of london. Design wise could have been better: stingy on kitchen cabinets for the couple of apartments that have straight kitchens instead of L shapes – only given 2 30cm wall cabinets with 1200cm open wall space, heating is not efficiently place – all radiators placed centrally and not near windows to trap cold air, could have been more thought out and had underfloor heating put in. Silly to put neighbours window right next to terrace railing – no privacy for either, room layout of windows and sockets poor – why would you put a bed headboard against a window? Building/ property management quite poor, no leeway to those who follow the rules and no enforcement to those who don’t. Response not always given and a lot of times seem to be giving false answers to avoid responsibilities.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Be prepared to be cold in winter unless you are okay with spending lots of money on heating.
What is the best feature of your home:
The amount of nature light from the windows, which ultimately gives the best views surrounding the property, especially the terrace over looking North West London.
