Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Hornsey Flats Go On Sale

Thanks to Lesley Ram for flagging up the sale of the soon to be completed flats near the Great Northern Taverm on Hornsey High Street. Fancy a flutter before the Asian investors get in?  In case you're wondering, I'm assuming that the name is borrowed from the Smithfield Refrigerator Works that used to occupy a site nearby).

It seems to be popular in the Middle East.

Hornsey needs to somehow make its presence felt more - it's a proper place and seems to be being flattened into a suburb of Crouch End, when historically I understand it was the other way round. I bought something from some people in New River Village once and they told me they lived in Crouch End. Nobody ever seems to live in Hornsey.

£695,000 for a 2 bed flat!!Who advised them on the prices, Foxtons?

Anyone know whether the New River development places ever got back to their original selling prices; my knowledge is a few year out of date but some folk there struggled to get their purchase price.

Research by Barrat homes recently concluded that developments on brown field sites tends to increase the house prices around the area, rather than decreasing prices by increasing supply.

Hornsey won't stay relatively cheap for much longer.

They took so long to make the place at new river look nice, that was the problem. Only just this year has the new river itself by those flats been tidied up.

They have a date for when the flats will get built but the date when the whole place is actually finished and tickety boo is another story. Maybe it depends on enough flats to sell before the extra work can be finished off ?

.. Or maybe it was a council thing ?
