Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Close to town so can get out the building when the neighbours spark up their rolls. Live being woke up at 3am every weekend by the exhaust noises

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

We normally get the response of ‘🤷🏻‍♀️not much we can do’. Great value for money

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

That there’s pregnant people and people with kids being pushed out because they would rather nice tenants leave than to tell the druggies to pack it in

The area is full of really nice coffee shops, gyms, supermarkets. everything you need is in reach. obviously the building is advertised as dog friendly, but they really are! everyone loves dogs including all the staff. so if you have a pet, this is the building for you

Loved living there for the past year!

Victoria S (Tenant)

Cortland at Colliers Yard, M3

Jun 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Good: - Excellent Location (close to city centre) - Modern Design - Quick maintenance - Excellent facilities (I loved the gym!) - Frequent events providing a community feeling - Amazing, helpful staff - Really good noise insulation – even though there are train tracks nearby, you can barely hear them unless the windows are open Negative: - Bin chute management (frequently „busy“ for several hours on end without being used) - Parcel Room Access could be more efficient (via fob, for example), as currently most delivery companies don‘t enter the name so codes are not received & often place orders in the wrong area - There is no aircon – so as there are many many windows, particularly south-facing flats can become extremely hot during the day

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

Anytime there was an issue in the flat, it was fixed within day! So really good service!

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

The area is still in development – so while it might seem like there is not much to do except going to the city centre, new shops keep appearing. There is no air conditioning – so be prepared for a hot flat during the day in summer (opening the windows helps, but that can lead to quite a strong wind passing through the flat)
