option 1 is not far from the Seven sisters station (Victoria line) which is what I need to commute to work and it is on a good road. Yet the service charge is £800 per year including a building insurance. It is not common to have that amount of service charge on a Victorian conversion in the area.

option 2 is close to Bruce Grove station (overground) which will add a bus journey from the station to the house, and it is a bit further away from high street and amenities. yet it doesn't have a service charge and it is quite cheap for the area.

I have viewed both properties, spoken to both EAs, think the actual difference in the price will be approx. 20k.

I like the location of option 1, but the service charge bothers me a little bit. option 2 is way cheaper but it is a bit far from the Seven sisters station, which is what I need really.

Any ideas, please?

I know the house in option 2, in fact I can see it right now. I walk to seven sisters if I'm getting in the tube, the cycle route is quick. BG goes to Liverpool Street directly as well.
The only thing I would note is have you visited the road in the evenings? I think next door is a multi occupicy dwelling and seems quite busy.

Feel free to DM with questions. We've lived here for over 5 yes so know the area/road well.
