dwelling of fair promise marred by middling stewardship

The Gessner, N17

May 2026

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

Hark! Of mine humble corner of Tottenham Hale shall I speak true. The shops and taverns thereabouts are passing fair — a goodly market doth furnish bread and flesh, and yon Walthamstow Wetlands offer such tranquil prospect as would soothe the most troubled brow. The Victoria line, swift as Mercury himself, conveyeth one unto the heart of the city in but a quarter-hour. Yet must I lament: parking is a pestilence, the bin-men come and go like fickle spirits, and at midnight the boy-racers do roar along the High Road as though pursued by Furies. ’Tis a place of contradictions — both balm and burden. And let it be known that fair Marie, noble Marco, and gentle Amrita are amongst the truest jewels of this borough; their kindly countenances alone do make the parking woes bearable.

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

No problems all good and fixed quickly. Always on hand to help.

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

The staff are so helpful, always on hand to help. I think it’s an amazing building

A Wonderful Place to Call Home with Stunning River Views

Abi Lat (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Kell, ME4

May 2026

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

I enjoy living here. One of the highlights for me has to be the beautiful river view, it really adds something special to everyday living and makes the whole place feel calm and uplifting. The property itself is maintained to a very high standard, and the cleanliness of the communal areas is consistently impressive. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into keeping everything tidy, fresh, and pleasant for residents. Another standout is the management team, who have always been approachable, friendly, and professional. Overall, living here has been smooth, comfortable, and stress-free. I’d happily recommend Home Views to anyone looking for a well-managed, high-quality place to live.

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

Yes. They always respond to my enquiries with a resolution.

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

I have nothing to add to this. I carried out a survey of the area before committing and moving into the property.

The Lansdowne, B16

May 2026

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

I have only positive things to say about the development. Lansdowne is ideally located, with supermarkets, nurseries, GP surgeries, and hospitals all nearby. Everything you need is within a short travel time of around 10 minutes max. There’s also a great selection of restaurants in the area, which adds to the convenience and lifestyle appeal. One minor downside might be some traffic noise, but this is effectively addressed by the excellent soundproofing in the apartments. Overall, it’s an excellent place to live.

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

All the issues were attended to very swiftly and effectively. The portal is very user friendly too.

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

I do hope the parking allocation process can be improved so that spaces are assigned as soon as a tenant moves in. Personally, I had to wait a few weeks to get my parking sorted, which made things quite difficult during that time. Aside from this, everything else has been very good
