The architecture design is nice

Good location and lovely architecture design. The community atmosphere is really nice. Although in most circumstances it is fine, sometimes it is a bit too noisy downstairs.

Please review your development:

The architecture design is nice – we love the way of keeping old and new building co exist in this area; our apartment (Minshull House) is well renovated with modern interior design and facilities. I want to note that there is a step in the bin store, and with the light is not very sensitive, it might be a risk – perhaps a ramp would help.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Not specifically, the landlord has mentioned almost everything that needs to be noticed in the viewing.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

One thing I’d like to mention is the noise – because our apartment (Minshull House) was not originally designed for residential purposes, the sound insulation wouldn’t be as good as normal residential building; therefore, when the bar downstairs holds come activities on the alley, it could be really noisy. But for the most of the time, it’s acceptable.

People are nice, area is nice, apartments are nice. Things I like are nearby. Everything just works well. Bonus points to Faye for being super helpful.

Please review your development:

The apartment has a great design, making good use of space and looking modern. Facilities are top-notch, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Any problems get fixed quickly, and the property is really well-managed overall, making it a hassle-free place to live.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Some really convenient dog walks are nearby; took a few months to find them.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Promptly and effectively. Replacements, fixes, advice, whatever.

Room for improvement

Review Date Sep 2024

Covinient location to transport links and a few local shops near by. Some residents leave their bins outside on the street and blocking the entry to the car park. There’s lots of fly tipping in private property and property management are slow to act not reprimanding those causing issues. There is anti social behaviour from local teenagers and other residents causing excessive noise. Not enough parking causing flat residents to park directly in front of our front door and blocking the path.

Please review your development:

Buildings need to be sound proofed more to block noise from upstairs neighbours and. Property management need to do more to maintain the communal outside areas and the streets which would help reduce fly tipping. Building in generally designed well but there are flaws.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Researched the area more and understand the terms of the property management services as it seems like they aren’t responsible for what the contract says they are but we pay out a lot of money for nothing to be maintained.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

They respond fast but nothing gets done. They are nice enough but nothing seems to be a priority and when they do visit to check issues nothing is fixed or sorted.

Good Value

The apartment is located in a good area with local high streets less than a minute walk away. Also the tram stop is nearby too which is handy if going into manchester city centre. The only downside is there is no on-site parking meaning you have to pay to keep it in a multi-storey car park over the road.

Please review your development:

The room has a good layout and feels very spacious. There is plenty of storage and the included amenities such as washer/dryer and dishwasher are very advantageous. The wifi included in the rent is also very quick. The staff at reception are very polite and helpful.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I don’t think there is anything that we weren’t told before moving in, everything was covered either online or from viewing the property.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

We had 1 slight issue with the shower however it was swiftly dealt with. Maintenance is very friendly and willing to help with any assistance needed for things such as the heater, air-con etc.
