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

It's great for commuting, located within 15 minutes walk from Woodside Park or West Finchley tube stations. There are 3 big major supermarkets within 10 minutes of walking: Sainsbury's, Waitrose and ALDI. Local cafes and bars are not bad. No parks or other green spaces, which are close, but if you wish to have a 20-25 minutes walk, there are several of them in any direction. It's quite noisy being on the a busy high street crossroad, but due to quality construction materials with closed windows it's around 40db inside the flat during the busy day hours. It's quite safe place, you can meet several local mentally ill people shouting on the streets from time to time or teens from near schools smoking weed, but that's it mostly.

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

They are responsive usually, but the staff changes quite often.

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

How hot it's during the summer times inside. It can be easily over 30 degrees inside during the sunny days, if the windows are not open all the time, which is quite noisy and dusty.

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

The area is perfect to live in east London! There are many cheap grocery stores nearby, amazing Indian/Paskistani restaurants and the best part is the Elizabeth line connectivity which makes it easier to commute to work. The area is also pretty safe post midnight !

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

Problems have been solved before but again they just take a lot of time and really test your patience.

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

I wish I knew more about the agent/landlord as they are not really professional at work. Late response and delay of work should explain this.
