Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
There are some dubious residents across the road from me, not seen anything illegal but raises issues sometimes with their behaviour. There seems to be some dubious cars parked around, one with no number plates which I reported to a police officer on this street some time ago but nothing has happened. Some boy recers at time with very loud cars and speeding . There is a local convenience shop on Nuttall St but the staff are rude, don't speak to you. They are a parcel collection service for Evri but you have to search for your parcel yourself with no communication from the owners/staff
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, as above for a socket repair, also their was some rubbish left in the yard by builders, this was removed after a couple of reports sent to you.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had looked at the back alley, it is generally a disgrace with people just leaving rubbish anywhere, sofas, garden waste, building repair waste etc. Recently a fridge freezer just dumped
Manager response
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It’s great to hear you’re happy with the location and that the issues you’ve raised with us have been sorted quickly. We’re sorry to hear about the concerns around the wider area and the back alley as we know how frustrating that can be. While some of it sits outside our control, your feedback helps us keep raising these things with the right teams. If anything else crops up, we’re always here to help through your RSM. Thanks

Awais was really helpful and knowledgeable. He did a great job handing over the property. We feel well informed. A+ rating for Awais!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They reacted within a day. I am happy with the service so far.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There is not a thing.
Manager response
Thank you, Ersin, for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that you’re enjoying your new home and that the quality and design of the development have met your expectations. It’s also great to hear your positive comments about Awais — we’ll be sure to pass this on to him. We’re proud to have colleagues who are knowledgeable and supportive, particularly during the move-in and handover process, so it’s reassuring to know you felt well informed from the outset. We appreciate your feedback regarding the unfinished pavement and the lack of street signage. As the development is still being finalised, some external areas may take a little longer to complete. However, we recognise how important these details are for day-to-day convenience, particularly for deliveries, and we are continuing to work closely with the developer to ensure these elements are progressed as quickly as possible. It’s encouraging to hear that our team has been responsive to any queries or issues you’ve raised so far, and that you’re happy with the service provided. Thank you again for your recommendation and for sharing your experience — it’s invaluable in helping us continue to improve. If there’s anything further we can support you with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Very close to local park for dog walks, shops etc. Close to all transports. Living on the street has been no issues other than barking dogs 24/7 that live outside, reported and got nowhere. No issues with parking or neighbours. Couple of times bin has been stolen but no other issues.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
No issues- a leak I had was sorted quickly. I was promised a new bath panel and shower screen when I moved in, this was sorted quickly. Boiler was playing up once- resolved quickly. Never had any issues.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I would have known how much the rent would increase. I went from £695 to £740 and only been here just over a year. Having to move as I live alone and I know the rent will just keep increasing :( If you are a couple or a family and have more income then I would say they are definitely worth it. Also, how cold the downstairs of the property is.
Manager response
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, Hayley. It's good to know that you find the design of the houses appealing and that your experience with Dean and the maintenance team has been consistently positive. It’s also great to hear that the location works well for you, with parks, shops, and transport links close by. We appreciate your comments regarding heating and the rent increase. We understand that open-plan layouts and wood flooring can feel cold, especially in winter, and we’re always looking at ways to make homes more comfortable and energy-efficient for residents. We do have to carefully review rent levels annually to ensure they remain competitive for the quality of our homes, while reflecting the costs of maintaining and managing the properties. While some matters you've raised fall outside our direct control but we always aim to support residents where possible. Thank you again for your honest and thoughtful review.

A great place to live!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area is great for the most part, very close to all the shops you would need, right off the promenade and easy access to other areas. There is some slight anti social behaviour I have noticed in the area but nothing that would put me off and just the same as you’d get anywhere. Very minimal traffic noice and overall a great place to live
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have been great, I had an issue with my window and they came out the next day to fix it. The 2 contractors that came were very friendly and got the job done quick!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The only negative thing is that parcels often go missing, I don’t believe however this is due to residents and more the local youngsters but I wish I knew this so I could re direct parcels sooner
Manager response
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and positive review, Alisha. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoy the modern design, facilities, and cleanliness of the development, and that our management and maintenance teams have made you feel well supported and safe in your home, something that’s incredibly important to us. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding parcel deliveries. Unfortunately, this can occasionally be an issue, and we’re always looking at ways to improve guidance around deliveries. Thank you again for recommending us, we’re really pleased to have you as part of the Bay Mill community.

Quiet area within a short distance to shops, supermarkets and bars I also like that there is all off street parking
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Quickly and politely and made sure we had all the information we needed
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I don’t have any apartment from know room measurements
Manager response
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that you’re enjoying the open‑plan layout, the storage space, and the separate utility area. It’s great to know the home works well for you and that the slightly smaller living room adds to a cosy feel. We’re also glad the location, off‑street parking, and proximity to local amenities are positives for you. Thank you for your comments about our team — we’re pleased to hear that issues have been handled quickly and politely, and that the move‑in walkthrough was helpful. We appreciate your recommendation and are delighted that you’re enjoying your home. If you need anything further, our team is always happy to help.
