A guide to living in Liverpool

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

Living in the Baltic Triangle is a great experience, particularly because there is such a good choice of independent cafés, restaurants, bars and shops all within walking distance. There are also plenty of places to socialise and green/open spaces nearby. The location is very convenient for getting into the city centre on foot, while public transport and taxi links are also readily available. The area can understandably get busier and noisier at weekends, particularly in the evenings, due to the popularity of the Baltic Triangle, but this is generally manageable. Parking can be challenging at busy times, although having everything so close by means a car isn’t always necessary. Overall, it’s a vibrant and convenient area with lots going on.

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

Immediately and quickly. I’ve never had to wait for any issues or problems to be addressed. The team are on it straight away.

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

How much I’d miss a balcony. I’m in an apartment without a balcony and when we have those rare summer days it would be great to sit out or even open wide a door.

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

It's a nice place with good amenities and multicultural neighbourhood. However, the downside is that it's quite expensive and the yearly rent increment is discouraging. But then, good things don't come cheap!

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

Promptly, most times. Any issues or problems raised are attended to, almost immediately.

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

I wish I know that the rent increases yearly... That was my first shock as a tenant... The increment should be 2years at least and shouldn't be more than £50 every 2years.

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.

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.

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