Hanover Mill, NE1

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

the area is fine. Lots of bars and restaurants. Close to the river although up quite a steep bank. The building is aging badly and I think it’s Y&Ys headache up north that they would rather ignore.

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

I suppose I didn’t notice how worn the building was until I moved in and as there are signs everywhere saying there was cctv I had no reason to assume there wasn’t any. Until parcels started going missing as the door is often left open in main entry - janitor said there is no cctv and the building no manager has been telling me he’s getting quotes now since at least July. I’ve lived here 3 years and the windows have been cleaned once. The water is also never hot enough to get a full really hot bath. I also rented through an agency and they let themselves into my property the first week of my tenancy while I was in bed asleep for an inspection that had not been booked in apparently it had been booked in for the previous tenant and a glitch had made it not cancelled out of their system while I know that is not the building’s fault. ( Living spaces )

What is the best feature of your home:

I do love the huge window in the bedroom - however I only have a tiny window in living room so really would prefer if it was the other way around and not an issue.
