The flat was very comfortable to live in, furnished very nicely and the landlord was very communicative and helpful. The flat is next to a kindergarten, however, so sometimes gets a bit noisy.

Don’t forget to check the energy certificate of the home you’re viewing: it shows how much the home costs to heat. Every rented home needs one, and the landlord or agent must show it to you before you rent. In England and Wales, a home rated F or G can only be rented out if the landlord has registered an exemption.
What each rating means
Our advice: whatever the rating, ask for last winter’s energy bills before you sign, and check for draughts, condensation and mould.

What this means for you. Every area has some crime, and busy ones record more. Use these figures to see which problems are common here, not to judge one street or building.
Car crime is common here: if you have a car, ask about safe parking.
“Violence and sexual offences” covers everything from harassment and threats to assault, and many cases are between people who know each other.
A lot of shoplifting usually just means there are many shops nearby.

What flats in London typically pay a month for energy, and the range from careful to comfortable use:

An estimate, not a quote, from what flats really used in 2024 (government meter data) and the bills tenants tell us they pay. The big number is a typical rented flat (often shared, so it uses more than the average home); careful use (heating only when you’re in, short showers) is at the low end and comfortable use (warm all day, hot water always ready) at the high end. Direct Debit spreads the year’s cost evenly, so you pay the same in summer. Priced at Ofgem’s price cap for 1 October to 31 December 2026. Water and broadband aren’t included. Each flat’s page shows an estimate from its own energy certificate, when we have it. The energy certificate also shows whether the home has gas: look at the main heating.
We can’t see which energy supplier or internet provider a home uses: that isn’t public. On moving-in day, take photos of the meter readings. Find the gas supplier on Find My Supplier, and for electricity call 105 (free). You’re on that supplier’s standard tariff until you switch, and you can switch any time.
For the internet, check which broadband networks and speeds reach this address on Ofcom’s checker, then pick any provider that uses them.
