A one-bedroom apartment has just become available in that gated community near Seven Sisters – you know, the one everyone wants to get into? What I've noticed is how quickly properties go in that area.

Location-wise, it's a winner. Seriously, a quick stroll gets you to both the Victoria Line and the Overground. Liverpool Street? Direct shot. The tricky part is, it needs a bit of love. Think of it as a blank canvas, though!

Now, I know what you might be thinking: "Renovations? Ugh." But here's the thing: this is a chance to really put your stamp on a place and, more importantly, add some serious value. What I learned over time is that properties like these, with potential, rarely stay on the market for long.

Tottenham is one of London's best kept secrets where a vibrant and diverse mix of young professionals are coming in from all over the capital and beyond to settle, it really does have a strong identity and an exciting community spirit, the local area is rapidly evolving into a social destination with an abundance of new independent pubs, bars, coffee shops and restaurants opening up throughout the neighbourhood.
