Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

I chose this development for the area. It’s very residential and surrounded by greenery, golf clubs. There is a nice farm and nursery and Equestrian centre. Not many shops around but it’s a 7 min drive, 25 mins walk or 10 mins bus ride to shops in North Finchley, Finchley Central or Mill Hill Broadway.

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

As a first time buyer I wish I knew the things that I need to pay attention to (i.e insulation) and carry out proper and professional checks before buying.

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

They are responding and have addressed smaller issues like chipped paint or scratched floor but not doing anything to address my main issue which is my insulation and windows. I can’t sleep in my bedroom, I sleep in the living room. The customer care is just dragging the process until the warranty expires.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

I like the position, walking distance from Canary Wharf but well connected to central London through DLR and Jubilee.
The property management is very efficient and always at disposal.

Perhaps some apartments are a bit smaller than average.
There are no bars/pubs/cafes or shops, it’s pretty isolated, I think this is the major defect.

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

Whether shops or cafes were going to open in the area.

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

Building management is spot on, always available and kind when contacted. They solved many small issues for us during our time here.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Local amenities are good with a primary school and GP practice very close, and plenty of grocery and retail shops within 8 minutes walk. Transport is also close with East India DLR and Canning Town tube stations both within 10mins walk.

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

The concierge staff are great! Also, north-west facing apartments get to see amazing sunsets in the summer months.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

Waste collection is only once a week which means that sometimes the bins will be overflow before collection day.

Management

Concierge team is usually very helpful, but overall property management has issues and there has been a big theft in the last 12 months

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The area is good, very convenient location for Canary Wharf/City workers. The development is modern.

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

That the road near the property can get so loud;

Flats really heat up during the warmer months

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

Concierge team has always been very helpful, property managers – not so much
