Hale Village, N17

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

Transport links are excellent, with good access to cental London via bus, tube, and national rail. There is good access to Stanstead Airport too. Hale village is also close to the river Lee and the various marshlands, and Wetlands, and reservoirs which surround it. These are great for a stroll. Stronghold climbing centre is close too. There is very good proximity to shops such as Tesco, Lidl, Asda etc. There are nearby breweries (Pressure Drop, BeverTown) and clubs (five miles) but in general there are very very few restaurants, cafés, or pubs within walking distance. However, this is set to change following the completion of number of nearby developments.

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

The real lack of nearby cafés, restaurants, and pubs. For this, you need to travel to nearby Walthamstow. And aside from the green areas, it is not a generally pleasant area aesthetically.

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

Access to a balcony via the living room rather than a bedroom (albeit not all apartments are like this).

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

There is not many restaurants and little shops in the area, the only shopping is a run down shopping centre but all food company’s deliver. There are a few breweries right next door.

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

We are currently in the process of checking our cladding. The property manager has been dealing with the developer, we have yet to see the outcome.

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

That the plans for other developments would be overlooking our views. And the amount of Traffic that goes down waterside way to the industrial estate.
