Eagle Wharf Road is superbly positioned for access to the best of Islington, Shoreditch, Hoxton and Angel, with Regent's Canal close by providing scenic walks and cycle routes towards both East and West London. Residents can enjoy an excellent selection of nearby cafés, restaurants, bars and everyday amenities, while Angel, Old Street and Essex Road transport links are all within easy reach, making commuting across London straightforward.

The building in which the property is located has a designated Live/Work planning use. A Live/Work property is designed to allow the space to be used simultaneously as a home as well as a base from which to undertake work. Working from the property is a mandatory requirement, and using the flat exclusively for residential use is not permitted. The Live/Work Lease that governs the tenancy is a combination of both residential and commercial.

As such, the Live/Work Lease is not the same as an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) which relates to purely residential occupation. It does not fall within the Housing Act 1988 and therefore does not benefit from the statutory protections that flow from that legislation, including the requirement for deposits to be registered with a government approved scheme. Importantly, the Live/Work Lease will also not be covered by changes made to residential tenancies by the Renters' Rights Bill, including open-ended tenancies and the ability to appeal rent increases. The Live/Work Lease may fall within the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.

The provisions of Sections 24 to 28 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 will be excluded in relation to the tenancy. You will be provided with a Notice in the form set out in Schedule 1 of the Regulatory Reform (Business Tenancies) (England and Wales) Order 2003.

Before the start of the lease, you will need to sign a Statutory Declaration, which must be witnessed by a solicitor who is empowered to administer oaths. The cost is usually minimal (circa £10) and can typically be completed quickly at most solicitors' offices, often without an appointment
