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

Great place to live, everywhere is very easily accessible, love being by Baltic triangle, easy walk into town!

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

When the maintenance people are present, the issues are dealt with promptly, although when they aren’t in (weekends, bank holidays, annual leave etc), the maintenance cover is a national thing so it’s basically not possible to get them in, unless it’s a major major issue.

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

Nothing! Everything is great I have nothing to complain about at all.

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

Whilst I’m still getting used to finding my way around, so haven’t found all the little independent shops and bars, the fabric district is clearly the next place to be. Everything is on your doorstep, and only a lift ride down. In the time we’ve been here, I’ve not had a single negative experience. Yes there is noise, can be rubbish on the streets, and traffic can build up at certain times, none of it lasts. The traffic slows, the council seem to be out every day making the streets look good, and the noise is part of city life. Being here it really feels like you’re in the heart of the real Liverpool. It’s where the workers live, not a tourist area, and that gives it a special charm. The bars, restaurants, takeaways, and shops, all rely on repeat business so they care more. It shows in the little acts of kindness that you see each day. Motorists stop to let the busses out, shop workers take hot drinks out to homeless people, the takeaways remember your order. All these things make others feel valued, and are true selfless acts of kindness. Yeah it may look a bit rough around the edges, but that’s because it’s real, it’s not a put on show for tourists. It’s Liverpool.

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

I mentioned that there was a small leak under the bathroom shower screen, and they were on it straight away. It wasn’t even a real issue, and is something every other landlord I’ve had would’ve put off or ignored. It doesn’t get better than that.

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

That it existed before I found it so I could have moved in years ago!

Can’t fault a single thing

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

The Fabric District is a very up and coming area, with great transport links (we’re only minutes from Lime Street), a 15 minute walk to Liverpool One, and everything else you could need on your doorstep. The building is right near the Royal and all the unis- but not close enough that you get disturbed by sirens!

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

They let us know of an issue they’d picked up just before we moved in, which was amazing, as we already knew it was being sorted before we’d even seen it! We’ve only had one minor issue ourselves, and it’s being sorted straight away

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

That we would finally feel properly at home. Getting to meet all the resident pets is a definite bonus!! Also- I don’t think we’ve ever waited longer than 15 mins for a takeaway to arrive since we’ve been here!

City-centre living without the noise and hassle

Karyn P (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Pall Mall Press, L3

Aug 2026

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

I absolutely love the location of the building as everything is 5-10 mins walk since it’s in the center. This also means a wide range of options for food and household deliveries which is really convenient. The docks are also a 5 min walk which is great for socializing and walking pets. Best of all, it’s tucked away in a quiet corner from all the noise and traffic in L1 or the heart of the city center. Also, there’s lots of parking options if you have guests including an NCP car park on the same street. No complaints, it’s been lovely enjoying city center living in a quiet neighbourhood.

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

Yes, I had raised an issue with my doors and some plumbing and that was dealt with very swiftly within 48 hours. Amazing communication and the staff have been very accommodating.

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

Nothing really, like I said said it’s been a positive experience so far and I’m looking forward to spending more years to come here.

Manager response

Hi Karyn, Thank you so much for such a lovely review! It’s fantastic to hear that you’ve enjoyed your first year with us so much that you’ve decided to stay for longer at Pall Mall Press. We’re really pleased that you’ve felt so well looked after by the team, and that the little things — from our 24/7 reception and quick maintenance response to the parcel system, resident events and new gym — have helped make day-to-day life that bit easier. We especially love hearing that you and your pet feel at home here. Creating a place that feels welcoming, well cared for and more like a community than just a building is something we really value. It’s also great to hear how much you enjoy the location. Being close to everything the city has to offer, while still having a quieter spot to come home to (and the docks just around the corner), is definitely one of the best things about living here. Thank you again for recommending us to your friends and for choosing to stay with us. We’re so glad to have you as part of the community and look forward to welcoming you home for many more years to come!
