Blackhorse Mills, E17

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

Few minutes from Blackhorse Road tube station. 2 supermarkets on the doorstep. Coffee shops and breweries all within a short walk. No traffic noise into our flat. Don’t think parking is great but public transport links are enough for us.

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

Had a leak in the flat. Response was immediate. Moved into another flat temporarily while work was undertaken. Moved back within a couple of weeks.

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

Location is even better than it looks and there are more local places opening up every month

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

Easy transport into Central London via the Victoria line which is less than a 5 minute walk from the location. Quiet, peaceful area with a lovely Wetlands to walk around. Downside is there’s no parking.

Yes, very quick response to any problems. No issues

Bad part that I didn’t expect was how many spiders you get in the flat because of the wetlands

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

Blackhorse Road is a vibrant area, there are the Blackhorse breweries close by for evening drinks / weekend drinks and events. Local coffee shops but not great supermarkets - you need to go into Tottenham / Walthamstow for a big supermarket. Local to the Walthamstow wetlands and Tottenham marshes for walks.

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

Issues are currently being addressed “town hall meeting” I don’t see anything resolving in the short term in this development.

I have lived here twice so I didn’t have any expectations coming back in 2025. I hoped that the awful receptionist didn’t work here.

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

The development is located close to the tube, train and overground stations, which is very handy to get to literally any central or outside London spot. There are amazing wetlands just in 15 min walk, where it’s easy to relax and reconnect with the nature. A variety of local specialised shops and coffee places is great!

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

On house repairs and maintenance requests, the team is very responsive and the workers are very friendly and efficient. Some rate increases were handled some years normally, the other years we had a dispute with a rate increases, but eventually it was settled.

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

A small thing, because of close proximity to the wetlands, during summer the windows will get covered by flies and spiders, not dangerous at all but may be annoying.

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

There are lots of lovely grocery stores, and restaurants. Transport links are amazing with the Victoria line so close.

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

Typically the Blackhorse Mills team are super quick to respond.
