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

The good - Proximity to the tube especially since Tottenham Hale is a main station and connects to underground, bus and National rail - Quiet and peaceful, next to a well developed park and safe at night, with no traffic noise - Bin collections on time, street is always well maintained - Very close to the Retail Park that provides access to all regular needs The not so good - Only from the pov of someone working in central London, commute can be long esp as Victoria line has frequent delays at the next stop ie Seven Sisters - Could have some more restaurants / quick bites nearby

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

The two times we've raised an issue, it has been easy to create a ticket and the response has been almost immediate, with a resolution within a day. The other times, when they've needed access to the property, they have been respectful of informing us well in advance.

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

That parking space isnt readily available and there is limited free parking nearby, so would have informed service providers and friends of that fact in advance.

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

The transportation links within the area is fantastic. This consists of several bus routes and Tottenham Hale station being within 5 mins walk. The bin store is surprisingly always usually clean and neat, free of any foul odours. Although we are based by the main road which links Blackhorse Road to Tottenham Hale, there is no traffic noise. Unfortunately there is no parking onsite or much around the area. There is a beautiful canal outside and the apartment has spectacular views of the wetlands.

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

Very quick and efficient. Always transparent. Onsite team accessible all the time for help.

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

I wish I researched about parking in the local area.

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

The area is very convenient for transport, with both the train and tube stations less than a five-minute walk away. I also love that the Walthamstow Wetlands are only about a ten-minute walk from here, which provides a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy nature. The selection of shops, restaurants, and bars is still developing, but improving steadily. Although the building is next to a busy road, the flats are well insulated, and I never notice the noise once inside.

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

The building management has been fantastic. Imran and his team have always resolved issues immediately. The team creates an open, inviting and pleasant atmosphere.

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

I wish I had known that the BBQs and private dining room are expensive to book from Thursday to Sunday. During my viewing, I had imagined using these spaces to host friends, but the weekend costs are unfortunately too high to make that possible, and it’s difficult to organize gatherings during the week. It’s also a shame that Way of Life’s high rent increases lead to such a high tenant turnover, which affects the sense of community in the building. Most residents genuinely love living here, so it’s unfortunate that many feel pushed out for financial reasons alone.

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

Great apartment building and facilities. No complaints there. I wish there were parking for tenants and unfortunately the area doesn't have the kind of restaurants people living in such a building would want

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

The oven needed to be fixed, same as lights and they were
