I love the location, close to everything I need

I love the location, close to everything I need (shop, transport). Parking needs to improve here. But other than that, it’s great place to live.

Please review your development:

My partner and I were visiting this apartment a week ago, Kadira who was showing us around, very impressed from our first visit, Kadira who was professional and pleasant. After the first visit, I have decided to take one of the apartment here on the 13th floor, the view is fantastic, that’s the selling point!

It will score 10 out of 10 from me if there is a swimming pool here, and there is windy sound from the utilities room. But apart from that, overall, it’s a great place to live.

The whole process from the start to finish was very smooth and easy, a big thanks to Kadira, Dean & Sophie and the team at Moda living. Many thanks, guys.

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

I wish I could view the actual apartment before I move in, but I was disappointed after I move in on the day. There is small cleaning issue in the dishwasher (hair ball), the sofa bit dirty too. But other than that, overall is good.

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

Kadira, Dean, Sophie and the team were response my enquiry very quickly. Thank you guys.

It’s a lovely area – liverpool is the perfect move for me and the lifestyle is more than ideal. I can’t wait to explore more of it.

Please review your development:

Love it! Clean, modern, and bright!

The lobby area makes a very good impression – it has a nice smell, is bright and airy and the receptionists are always smiley. It felt like a warm welcoming home the first time I viewed it. That, and the Moda team are what won me over. I viewed several other properties in Liverpool on the same day, but the Lexington stood out because of their staff, the amazing location, facilities, and the flat itself – which took my breath away.

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

The buttons on the sofa were not secured, and the showers were not working correctly, but these issues have been resolved quickly.

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

Yes they have, and they have been very quick and helpful

High quality built-to-rent apartment managing by friendly team.

I like the tranquility of this area. Being close to city center just few minutes walk, where you have access to lots of shops, bars, restaurants, and train station.

Please review your development:

Having 336 apartments, required good management and maintenance. In terms apartment design (inside), everything is fine as they use high quality materials considering energy efficiency. The downsides are no any plants or picture on wall while you walk in different floor. Also, I expected there would be difficulty (waiting time) for using lift when at least 80% of apt occupied. At the moment, the building is new, however after 3-5 years the maintenance would be very important and need special attention.

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

They provided all the information that a tenant need at the time of viewing and when we move there is nothing new was exactly the same. So, no problem.

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

They respond shortly and solved immediately all the issues I raised.
