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

    Lovely community and a huge park nearby, it’s a short walk next to the station and very convenient, and a friendly team

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

    The maintenance has come to fix things but the shower head and hose had to be replaced, it’s been 1.5 weeks and still not replaced due to the previous tenant putting on a shower filter that broke the hose. So it means checkout checks from previous tenant was not done properly

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

    That we can’t let people in through the intercom. But otherwise it’s a lovely home

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

    Beautiful building with amazing amenities, well connected with Victoria Line close by. Downside is not many restaurants or bars around or near, yet that is exactly what I wanted (to avoid crowds). Would be great to have a grocery store near, but Lidl is 12 min walk away.

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

    Very fast and diligent response, all issues raised were addressed and resolved

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

    No restaurants or cafe near by, other than Coco. Yet the area is developing, this may change soon

    Manager's response

    Hi Yvette, Thank you for your fantastic feedback and recommendation.

A special thank you for your kind words about Niamh, Charles, and the wider team. We're proud to provide a welcoming and responsive service, and it's wonderful to know this has positively impacted your experience. Best, Iga

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

    Transport links are excellent and I always felt very safe coming hoke late on the tube line. The park next to the Sessile is an excellent open space , very friendly with a community feel. My apartment looked inwards over the lovely garden on floor one so I was not really aware of traffic noise or any other noise. And lovely to hear life going on around the Sessile-certainly not anti-social behaviour. Loved Little Coco at the Gessner and Mother Kelly's. Hopefully a few eating places will open soon.

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

    Always. Quick response, problem sorted. Totally trustworthy team if entry is needed without myself being present.

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

    The friendliness and general kindness of residents. WhatsApp groups.

    Manager's response

    Hi Adele, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time at The Sessile and made the most of the facilities, from the Orangery and gym to the beautiful gardens. We're especially grateful for your kind words about the maintenance and management teams. It means a lot to know that our efforts to provide a friendly, responsive, and supportive environment have made a positive impact on your experience. Best, Iga

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

    Tottenham Hale is a fantastic residential space, with the nearby wetlands providing a number of excellent jog and/or hiking spots. The Sessile is situated very close to the tube station however there is very little noise from outside thanks to the large communal area of the building.

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

    I've not raised any problems since moving in last month.

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

    I would strongly recommend visiting the area and local establishments to see what Tottenham Hale is about before moving. It's an excellent town with pockets of culture to get lost in - privately owned businesses are still prevalent and support each other. It hasn't been hit by gentrification like other areas I've visited and lived.

    Manager's response

    Hi Sam, We're delighted to hear that you've felt at home during your first month at The Sessile and that you've enjoyed the events, local area, and the support from our team. It's great to know that you're making the most of everything Tottenham Hale has to offer. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the parcel room. We understand that it can become busy at times, and we are continually looking at ways to improve the experience for residents. Thank you again for your recommendation, and we look forward to continuing to make your time at The Sessile a positive one. Best regards, Iga & The Sessile Team

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

    Down Lane Park is beautiful - we’re very lucky to have a view of it. The transport links are superb - the Victoria line is reliable, the trains are handy (also for getting to Stansted), and the access to the motorway was important. We’ve always felt safe here. There’s a bit of traffic noise but it’s not too intrusive.

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

    They’ve been great whenever we’ve reported anything.

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

    There’s a super football pitch just around the corner and there’s often cheap games of football there with a fab community! Get involved!! And there’s a little independent bakery called “Be More Shirley” that I’d really recommend.

    Manager's response

    Thank you for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear how much you've enjoyed the apartment, facilities, and communal spaces, particularly the gym and Orangery. It's also great to know that you've had a positive experience with our team and that you enjoy the local area and transport links. Kind regards, Iga
