    Great development

    Really like the design of the development especially the wrapping of the existing tower block. Removed quite a lot of the mature trees which is disappointing. They have since planted more but these trees are in their infancy and will take decades to really fill the space.

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

    Wonderful place to live despite the massive change to the area. The development is nice in its appearance.

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

    Yes all my problems have been dealt with in a timely manner

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

    Busy communal areas with staff visible this is comforting and gives the appearance of safe and secure.

    Agar grove as a new community space

    The Agar Grove development is a great renovation project; I love the design of the new buildings, how it is well connected transport wise and how they created a communal garden with a playground. It became a place for our community where a lot of kids with their parent spend lot of time.

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

    The shops around are great as well as the transport links. The street are safe and I never felt unsafe walking alone.

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

    Yes the building management replied to the issues we had in the flat; usually their service is quite good.

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

    The only bad thing is that because of the new development ongoing we have a lot of noise throughout the whole day but ultimately it will be an improvement for everyone.

    Keep an eye on this interesting development in Camden

    The area is going through extensive works with new buildings coming up, new structures, parks with initiatives taking place. The area is also really close to King's Cross and main transportation spots, giving the chance to the residents to reach every part of the country or outside the country with less than a 20 minutes walk.

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

    Agar grove is just a handful of minutes away from Camden Town. The area is quiet and with enough small shops and amenities for everyday needs, otherwise the centre with all the shops you might need is close, just like Camden Market.

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

    Yes, the building has passively by making sure that elevators worked fine and to keep us updated on any developments or changes.

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

    The works carried out bring with them noise and dust. The train lines are also close, making it complicated to sleep at night after 1.

    Good building and flat layout

    The building is currently managed by the Camden Council which is not great and the transition could have been smoother. There's still no air conditioning/heating at the reception which is not the best environment for our concierges, which are incredible, to be in.

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

    No budget supermarkets around, which would be very useful, however, there's Waitrose in Coal Drops Yard and a Sainsbury's Local downstairs if you need anything. 390 and 274 are the easiest buses to catch in the area

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

    We couldn't be happier with our landlord who is always so prompt to assist us with anything we need.

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

    There's Community Fibre in the building, which is fantastic and gives you super fast internet at a reasonable price.

    Don’t fall for the outwardly appearance

    Misha (Tenant)

    XY Apartments, NW1

    Nov 2021

    Where do I even start- we moved to XY Air in July 2021. The apartment looked in really good condition, freshly painted, good amenities and spacious 2 bedroom flat. We were so excited to be here. However, our excitement was so short lived. In August, we stared noticing dampness on the walls in the living room and signs of leak were visible. We contacted our agent, who asked us to contact Camden Repairs directly and thus began the most tiresome months of our lives. After contacting Camden repairs multiple times to flag them about a leakage, we were finally given an appointment to visit the flat in November. By the time it was November, the flat was literally in a derelict condition. The leak had caused all the walls to cave in and flooring started buckling and came off due to the water seeping into it. Finally, in November the plumber fixed the leak however the apartment was in bad condition. We have been trying to contact Camden repairs every single since then to try and have someone replaster the walls and put new flooring but without any luck. While those issues are the biggest, the apartment itself has multiple small issues that are frustrating to deal with. -The windows don’t seal properly allowing loads of flies to come in the apartment. -In summer, the apartment gets tooo hot. -In winter the heating hasn’t been working in one of the rooms and Camden repairs can’t bother fixing it so sent us replacement portable heaters which just aren’t as effective. -The lifts breakdown very often in the building. Overall, the excitement of living in Central London, in such a great location has paled in comparison to the everyday problems we have had to deal with. The only positive here is that the reception staff is super helpful, really friendly and really good with handling all the parcels that come in!

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

    Close to Kings Cross and Camden. Excellent transport links Sainsburys local right next door and Waitrose a bit closer. Area being developed massively so looks a bit rubbish right now but in the future has great potential. Doesn’t feel too safe at night Can be very loud, especially because of the club right opposite. No issues with other building members or tenants. Excellent reception staff.

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

    The property agent has been awful at responding to any issues and has been of no help. The repair company is a nightmare to deal with.

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

    Egg London next door which means it can get very noisy if the windows are open in the flat.
