Clissold Quarter, N4

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

Neighborhood is fantastic. Proximity to open spaces is great, buses frequent, tube not too far away. However bin room insufficient for amount of flats, courtyard not secure enough and people have gotten in and stolen bikes

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

Lift breaks down way too often. Hackney who manages the property are absolutely incapable of doing a half decent job

What is the best feature of your home:

Big floor to ceiling windows, balcony and proximity to park

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

Really good access to Clissold Park and public transport. Whilst there aren't any restaurants in the close vicinity, there are some great restaurants on Church Street that are a short walk through the park - although in the Winter the park closes a bit earlier so you have to take the longer way round. There is no parking space available, however there is good parking on Lordship Park road on the weekends (when there isn't an Arsenal match on) or on the weekdays after 6:30pm. There is quite a bit of noise from the road and sirens, but that's to be expected.

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

I wish I had known the only bike storage available was in the courtyard and is used by other buildings.

What is the best feature of your home:

The fact we have a communal boiler is a great feature, as we don't have to worry about the boiler packing up in the winter and that that this is well maintained. Haven't tried the heating yet - but I think I will be soon with this weather.

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

Great location next to Clissold park and two vibrant neighbours (Stoke Newington and Highbury). There are still problems of anti social behaviour in the area.

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

The fact that the property failed the initial fire -safety assessment AFTER the Grenfell Tower disaster, was totally unacceptable.

What is the best feature of your home:

Location is great, good outdoors space. Overall happy with the construction and functionality of the apartment

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

Good aspects: Good transport links; nearby green space; wide range of shops and restaurants; wide range of fitness and health services (gyms, swimming, climbing) Bad aspects: Loud traffic noise (cars and motorbikes) at all hours, undeveloped derelict property neighbouring my development, loud buses on street next to development.

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

To understand temperature of new builds in summer and whether air conditioning can easily be installed.

What is the best feature of your home:

The location and the views over the part next door.

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

The area is great, near to lots of shops and good transport. We are at the back of the property by the courtyard and it's fairly quiet. Can slightly hear the road

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

The fact that the flats at the back are quite than those facing the road

What is the best feature of your home:

The big windows let in a lot of light and balcony also makes it feel like there is more space.
