Hale Works, N17

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

It's a very good location and it's so easy to get to Kings Cross, Liverpool Street and Stratford. It would be better if there are more local restaurants or cafe. I always enjoy walking in the wetlands or along the canal

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

The building management are good at communicating issues and progress update to the residents and they care about the building

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

The constant wind around the entrance and on my balcony is quite annoying but I guess there's not much anyone could do.

There are limited bars/restaurants/pubs/cafes in the area, but more and more will be popping up. Having the retail park nearby is fantastic, and the station is a five-minute walk from the development giving you access to the Victoria Line as well as trains to Liverpool Street and Stansted.

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

It is quite confusing who is responsible for dealing with issues in our apartment. The building, the developer, the estate agent? But things are dealt with fairly well.

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

I wish I knew that the landlord was going to put our rent up by £500 after living in there for just a year. It seems like a lot of the apartments in the building are owned by overseas investors that do this type of thing, so I didn't feel like I was treated like a human but rather just a monthly paycheck for them.

The building and the area are exactly why we where looking for, we have stunning views and the building is always clean and well kept.

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

All of my issues have been sorted when reported. 5/5

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

Nothing I can complain about with anything everything has been great

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

The property has an excelent location however there are no restaurants or coffee shops around. We also really need a big food shop.

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

Yes. Only with technical issues in our flats we need to wait long.

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

Generally all is fine

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

I love living at hale works because of the close proximity to the Tottenham Hale station that not only has direct links to Stratford, Oxford Circus and Liverpool Street but also overground trains to Cambridge and Stanstead airport. Very convenient. There is a gym and Tesco express right opposite the building and a retail park with Asda home, Lidl, Iceland and Argos 4 minutes from the building. Parking is available for a small fee down the road ~10/day. We have never found a problem finding a parking spot.

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

Prompt attempt to fix of any problems that we reported to our letting agents - however these often needed to be chased a few times before they were actually sorted out.

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

During strong winds there is creaking in the building. Something which is common in all high rises but would have been good to know before hand.
