Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Vibrant area with great transport links. Lots of great independent restaurants, bars, and cafes within walking distance. Southwark does an average job at maintaining the cleanliness of the streets are area. At times lots of noise and interesting character loitering around due to the proximity to the police station. Social housing tenents as a whole do not respect the communal areas and lots of rubbish and things are dumped outside their communal bin store.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Communal spaces are shared with council housing residents who don't all have the same respect for the spaces.
What is the best feature of your home:
The location, size of the flat, storage, and views.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Local to shops, travel links, Pay parking is limited, anti social behaviour, road on either side of our building is double yellows but constantly busy, heavy traffiic.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wouldn’t move under NHG, as a social resident I feel that I’m not listen to, have to beg to practically get things done. Treated like your nothing, no support or help with issues but yet leaseholders can ask for the most stupid /costly thing even if not needed and they get it,
What is the best feature of your home:
New build so up to date insulation/electric s etc.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Excellent location, the area is extremely vibrant with lots of options for shopping, food, and socialisation. Parking isn't the best since the new rules have been introduced, the gov has been extremely unclear on the options for residents.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How much the service charge would increase even thought the services haven't increased.
What is the best feature of your home:
The balcony is great, however people throw very loud parties in the communal gardens and it's extremely irritating.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Local area is alright and getting better all the time as it’s being redeveloped. Angel Lane can be pretty rowdy as the gym use it for running, the game shop has the door open and can hear loud cheers and groups of people and then the arches get used for some dance classes, again, noisy.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I knew the flat I chose was directly level with the train track.
What is the best feature of your home:
Balcony is the nice big size so lack of private green space is kinda covered here.
