    The Sessile, N17

    The Sessile, N17

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

    Tottenham Hale is very well connected to public transport links, being on the Vitoria line you get to central London in less than 20 minutes, and you are 1 train stop away from London Liverpool Street or Stratford. There are plenty of green spaces around and very convenient shops and good GP too.

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

    As mentioned, upper management responsiveness is also lacking; as an example, management (James) completely missed a scheduled meeting with us and never bothered to apologize or reschedule. Onsite team is in general very responsive and attentive, although I feel they have a lot of limitations on what they can do or offer. I can only say positive things about Clay, Niamh and Iga.

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

    I wish I had fully understood the strict financial realities of living here, particularly regarding renewals and the check-out process. First, be prepared for a hard negotiation on your renewal if you decide to stay a second year - they will not do a flat renewal. Second, I wish I had known how aggressively management approaches deposit deductions when you leave. The walls are painted with a flat, non-washable paint that scuffs incredibly easily. Even after 12 years of flawless renting in London, and despite paying £840 in 'pet rent' over two years, they still deducted £200 from our deposit for minor, purely cosmetic wall marks. You should budget with the expectation that they will attempt to pass the cost of routine, fair wear-and-tear redecoration onto your deposit at move-out.

    Riverstone Heights, E3

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

    Living at the E3 3ZD postcode (Riverstone Heights in Bromley-by-Bow) offers an incredibly convenient slice of East London life, anchored by the Bromley-by-Bow Underground station and a massive Tesco superstore right on your doorstep. Transport links are exceptional for quick commutes to Stratford, Canary Wharf, or Central London via the District and Hammersmith & City lines, and you have surprisingly scenic escapes nearby like the historic Three Mills Island and the River Lea. However, typical inner-city realities still apply; while the immediate modern development provides a secure bubble, the wider Tower Hamlets borough experiences higher urban crime rates, and proximity to major arteries like the A12 means traffic noise and occasional litter are standard fixtures. Ultimately, it’s a highly practical, well-connected spot where the sheer convenience generally outweighs the standard metropolitan grit.

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

    The building management team has been absolutely fantastic in responding to any issues I have raised. They are consistently prompt, highly professional, and ensure that any maintenance problems or general inquiries are resolved quickly and efficiently. It is incredibly reassuring to have such a proactive, reliable, and communicative management team taking care of the building and its residents.

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

    I wish I could know there is tesco superstore near by, it is really helpful for my life

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

    Beaufort Park is a lovely area in Colindale, with a lot of different shops and restaurants within walking distance. The area is quiet and modern, and there are nice green spaces too. At the same time, it is only a short walk to the tube station for the northern line, allowing for good connection to central London and other areas. Would 100% recommend living in this area

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

    They have always responded quickly and professionally. They kindly take into consideration any issue that we raise and work hard to fix it quickly and efficiently. Shoutout to Matt and Cameron for their great work again!

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

    That renting doesn't have to be stressful! Living here is honestly the best!

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

    The area is very convenient for day-to-day living. Public transport links are strong and make commuting easy, although it can get busy during peak hours.

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

    The building management has generally been responsive and helpful when dealing with any issues. In particular, Saad has been outstanding—he is always quick to respond, professional, and proactive in resolving problems. He takes the time to listen and ensures things are followed up properly, which gives a lot of reassurance. Overall, I’ve had a very positive experience with how issues are handled.

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

    One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how important good management makes a difference to the overall living experience.
