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

I've been living at the gessner since end of May 2025, and my experience so far has been great. Safe, clean, with 3 terraces to choose from, gym, co-working spaces, monthly social events, make living here really special. Tottenham Hale tube station is only 1 minute walk, with a shopping centre close by too!

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

I've never really had an issue since living here, but when I needed help/questions about anything, the team I has been super efficient in dealing with my requests.

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

Viewing was a very easy and straightforward process. The team was always responsive. The flats are fully furnished. I did ask upon moving in, if I could get a brand new mattress and my demand was promptly meet!! The Reception team is truly phenomenal 👏 🙌

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

Recently had a Sainsbury’s local open outside of the building which has been beneficial. Before this, it was difficult to go to the shops as there weren’t any supermarkets close by. The cafe attached to the property is very convenient. Traffic is often heavy outside of the property, however, quiet from the apartment. Bin collection has never been a problem.

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

Very efficiently, within a week at most and it gets resolved.

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

It is much quieter than you would expect walking to and from the property which is a positive in my perspective.

Modern Living with Excellent Facilities and Supportive Management

The Sessile, N17

Dec 2025

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

Living here has both positives and challenges. The transport links are excellent, with easy access to the Victoria line and National Rail, and the shopping area near the station is very convenient, offering a good range of shops and supermarkets for daily needs. On the downside, there are limited dining options nearby. The surrounding green areas attract a lot of insects during the summer, which can be uncomfortable, and better pest control would be appreciated. Ongoing construction in the area also means noise and a busy atmosphere at times.

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

Whenever I reported any issues through the app, the building management team responded quickly, fixed everything promptly, and followed up afterwards to make sure the problems were fully resolved. This level of care and responsiveness is something I truly appreciate.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that visitors and deliveries cannot reach residential floors, which can be inconvenient. It would also be useful if the door entry system allowed longer access to the front camera.

Dec 2025

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

There is a good range of local shops, supermarkets, and restaurants within walking distance, catering to both daily needs and social outings. One of the standout features is the excellent coworking area and terrace, which are well designed and very convenient for remote work, along with a 24-hour gym and a helpful concierge service. Transport links are strong, with easy access to public transport making commuting straightforward. On the street itself, it is mostly quiet and residential.

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

Building management has generally been responsive and professional. Most issues I raised were acknowledged quickly and resolved within a reasonable timeframe, with clear communication throughout the process.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how to enroll into building activities like run club, weekly hit and yoga.
