The Georgian Quarter is seen as a cultural have. It has two cathedrals and many hidden gems, including the Everyman Theatre, The Liverpool Philharmonic Hall and countless bars and bistros. Residents can enjoy living in Georgian architecture. Similarly, or in a new development in one of Liverpool’s most stylish neighbourhoods. One residential development to rent in Liverpool is The Cargo Building. 

“City centre location is pretty nice. Its super safe as its right in the middle of town. Tescos is onsite which is great. There is nothing that I dislike about the area.” – Luke, Verified Resident of The Cargo Building

The Baltic Triangle has been named as one of the hippest places in the UK and The Cargo Building has received some of the highest ratings for a development on HomeViews. With independent bars, exhibition spaces and music venues it is not your average city centre. Another one of the best developments to live in Liverpool is Brunswick Park. The development is next to the station with direct links into central Liverpool.

“Good location, spacious, well kept” – Katie, Verified Resident of Brunswick Park.

Near to Woolton is Aigburth, an affordable, yet upmarket area. Located on the river Mersey are a number of large Victorian town houses as well as new developments to buy or rent in Liverpool with views of Sefton Park.

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.

Review Date Mar 2024

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.

Nothing to complain about! Plenty of bars and restaurants, and a Tesco nearby! Parking available, hardly any traffic noise.

Please review your development:

Beautiful place to live, such a nice building with amazing 360 degree views of Liverpool! And the team at pall mall make it even better! Everyone is so nice and helpful if you ever need anything. Events are hosted every month too which we can’t wait to get involved in!

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

Couldn’t leave this blank so I had to dig deep for this one! Just make sure you bring slippers as the floor is a little chilly on the feet! Winter has just finished though so hopefully starts to warm up.

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

Kat (the manager here) is so lovely, always brings great service with a smile and answers any questions we have quickly
