Are there any dimensions on there, I can't see any. If it's as big as it looks it seems decent but photographs can obviously be deceptive.
I can only really speak for Harringay as it's the area I know best but for that kind of price you could get 1,800-2,000 SqFt, particularly if you got somewhere for the low £800s and did loft, kitchen etc. yourself.
The other consideration with an area that's been designed fully formed rather than grown up is they often seem to lack those useful places that have been around for years. A decent old school pub, greasy spoon, local newsagent that's open late, etc. I've been round there a few times meeting friends and it's all just a bit samey I've found.
I know a fair few people who have bought new build flats and it hasn't been a particularly smooth ride. Nothing major but generally something cropping up every month or so requiring a builder, plumber, etc to come round. Things have generally been resolved but it takes time for each instance.
