Northern line tube station is very handy, located between a co op convenience store and a large Waitrose. There is also easy access to the 382 and 221 bus lines from Frith line/Lullington Garth.

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

Mostly good service, not extremely quick but everything that had an issue was looked into and sorted out.

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

New builds are likely to have things that need repairing immediately, so keep an eye out.

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

Our street is a dead end, so annoying for drivers but also very quiet and safe for kids to play outdoors. Nice parks and playgrounds nearby, and primary schools close. 221 bus line and Northern line Mill Hill East tube are the nearest transport links.

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

New build houses all have some defects, which need to be looked out for and fixed promptly by the owners or housing association.

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

We love the area and all the nearby green space. It would be great to have more coffee shops etc closer by. The tube is close and well lit for when walking back late at night. It is also handy having the coop and waitrose around the corner

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

No issues raised so far. We moved into the property end of last year

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

Since moving in the neighbours on our road created a whatsapp group to find out things people have had fitted/ work done in their homes which are similar which is really good. This is a real benefit and is nice to be part of to create a community where everyone can help each other

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

Good: great location on the border of the green belt but within Zone 4 of the London underground. Very quiet and quaint neighborhood with surrounding countryside walks and nice views of London, no traffic pollution. Neighbors are all nice, mostly affluent professionals with families. Couple of local supermarkets 10-15min walk away, with more local amenities opening up as the development expands (currently no coffee shops or restaurants nearby) Bad: nearest train station, Mill Hill East, is very unreliable. Runs every 12-15mins, but if you leave work late or go for dinner in London, expect a longer wait for the right train. Development seem to have crammed the most houses and flats as possible so space is somewhat limited. Lack of street parking is an issue (unless you're lucky enough to have a larger driveway) and PCM (parking Controllers) are a joke. No local coffee shops or restaurants but they should be opening up soon.

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

They initially responded well with a dedicated CS Rep, however that service has now been reduced to an automated case system, which is not good enough.

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

Ensure they check the parking situation for their property. As soon as you're handed the key, get a snagger into the property and send the list of issues to the developer ASAP - we were caught by hidden exclusions such as window scratches being void after 2 weeks.

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

Good tube connection. Easy access to coop. There is a large Waitrose nearby. The neighbourhood is very quiet.

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

There are some small issues with the house when we first move in. The management team responded quickly.

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

The tube connection is better than we thought. You don’t have to wait too long for a train.
