Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The transport links are great! I work in Walthamstow so its super easy for me on the tube, getting to Stratford and Liverpool Street is also very easy and convenient. The retail park is really close and handy, we have some small supermarkets but I think the area would benefit massively with and M&S foodhall and some other food vendors. The street is quiet and ive never felt unsafe
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We havent had any issues as of yet, but when I have requested info ive always gotten a quick polite response
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Ive heard that moving out can be an issue with the walls, but deal with that at a later date. Also concerned about price raising at some point

Lovely property and services . Convenient location and seems like you are part of a luxurious accommodation
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes they are prompt with resolution of any issues we have encountered until now
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The paint is a big concern as we found out later that the management will charge exorbitant amounts for any wear and tear. Utility costs are also way higher.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Recently moved up from Wales for work, and couldn't have found a better place to live for someone new to the city. The building has a bus and a tram stop outside, or is only a 15 minute walk, for going into the city center. There's a supermarket opposite and a cinema behind. It's on the border of Edgbaston Village, which has some high end bars and restaurants.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Problems or issues are dealt with immediately. Issues are raised via an app and are resolved by the time I get home from work the next day. A report of any work is logged on the app. Extremely efficient.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Relocating to Birmingham couldn't have gone better because of how convenient everything is when living here. The accessibility, security, culture and support here has been fantastic.

Well-Designed Building with Great Rooftop Facilities

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Local shops are average, with limited supermarket, restaurant, and bar options. Transport is convenient thanks to the Victoria Line, providing easy access across London. The area is generally fine to live in, but there have been some incidents of phone theft, so it's worth being cautious when out and about.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building management's response has been mixed. Sometimes issues are dealt with quickly and contractors are sent out promptly to fix problems. However, on other occasions it can take a while to receive a response, and there have been times when management promised to send someone to fix an issue but did not follow up.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Overall, the property is pretty much what you see during a viewing, with no major surprises after moving in. The one thing I wish I had known beforehand is that the communal areas are not cleaned as frequently as I had expected. It's not a major issue, but there are times when shared spaces, particularly the bin room, could be maintained more regularly. There are also quite a lot of pigeons around the building, so balconies need to be cleaned fairly often to remove droppings.

Lovely building with great facilities but overpriced for what and where it is

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The selection of restaurants and shops is not what I expected. I think it is great to have Lidl, Pets at Home and B&Q around the corner, but in terms of wholefood stores, late evening places it is not yet what we have been told when we moved in 2 years ago. The area is visibly developing by the Sessile was not able to secure any vendors to move into the retail space downstairs. In terms of transport links, tottenham hale is very well connected with underground and overground transport. The area is quiet and nice, sometimes messy. I feel safe going back home on my own, although I did hear from the neighbours about some antisocial behaviour and phones being snatched.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
the repairs are done quickly and efficiently, the only problem we had was with wifi which was not working as advertised and the staff was not helpful with resolving this issue - we opted to pay seperately for our own broadband
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish we knew that the flat (facing the courtyard) is pretty dark during the day (morning until the afternoon). I also wish we discovered earlier that there is a very good community created in the sessile privately by the neighbours and also that tennis courts near the building are free during the week, which is a great perk to have!
