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

Situated right in town, great location but no onsite parking despite what they advertise and the new management is awful.

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

After several attempts to get an answer they usually reply and it’s normally a generic response with issues left unattended to for months.

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

The reality of there being barely any parking and having to pay NCP prices.

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

This is a great location to be in. From the building there is very little street noise. Being close to Tescos express and urban exchange is great. It is a shame the bus stop is closed but not far from Piccadilly and market street tram stops.

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

Any issues that have been raised have been solved relatively promptly although there has always been a bit of unnecessary frustrations. When there was a furniture issue there was a confrontational tone with the management we spoke to. When we had an issue with our switch board it took some convincing for management to get involved.

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

The lifts can take absolutely forever to come. The bin disposal system is also a bit of a hassle that we weren’t shown during the viewing.

The building has a lot going for it, especially its location near the Cornbrook tram stop, which makes getting around the city quick and easy. Being close to the city centre is a big advantage for both work and social life. One of the standout features is the co-working space, which is well designed and very practical for anyone who works remotely or in a hybrid role. The free coffee is a nice extra that adds to the overall experience. Services like post sorting make day-to-day life more convenient, and having an on-site gym means you don’t need a separate membership. The building is also well maintained, which creates a comfortable and well-managed living environment.

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

The building management has generally been responsive whenever I’ve raised a problem or issue. When something needed attention, whether it was a maintenance request, a question about services, or a facilities concern, they addressed it promptly and professionally. They were quick to communicate updates, kept me informed about timelines, and followed through until the matter was resolved. Their approach feels organized and customer focused, which gives confidence that issues won’t be ignored or left unresolved. If there was ever a delay, they explained the reason and provided clear expectations for when it would be sorted, which made the process much smoother overall.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how popular the shared facilities are. The co-working space and gym are great, but they can get quite busy at peak times, especially during weekday mornings and evenings, so planning around quieter hours helps a lot.
