Comfortable Living in a Modern, Well-Located Building

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The local area has a great mix of shops, cafés and restaurants within walking distance. Transport links are excellent—tram and train services are close by, and buses are frequent. The street is generally quiet, though parking can be limited and bins sometimes overflow. I’ve not noticed much anti-social behaviour, and traffic noise is minimal.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building management has been reasonably responsive, especially with the help of the concierge team who are approachable and often act as a good first point of contact.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Bins can fill up quickly and aren’t always emptied on time. It’s also worth knowing that soundproofing between apartments is decent but not perfect some noise carries from adjacent units.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
As a university student I would definitely recommend staying at The James due to its location. 15 min walk to campus, >5 min walk to the docks and shopping. Across James station which makes it easy for travelling around Liverpool and the rest of UK.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I had issues with the temperature of the water as I like hot showers. I expressed these issues to the staff and they solved it right away (same day)
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I knew about the different room layouts as I would of preferred some of the cheaper room designs/layout

Thank you for your 5-star review, Jolie! We’re so happy to hear that you love the design of the building and that the social areas create such a welcoming atmosphere for you. It’s great to know that you find them enjoyable and comfortable for relaxing and socialising! We completely understand your frustration regarding the zero deposit scheme at the time of your move-in. As we were just opening, some details were still being finalised, and we truly appreciate your patience during that period. We’re glad to now offer this option to those who are eligible and will always strive to keep our residents informed as transparently as possible. I am glad to hear you’ve had such a positive experience with our management team, we’re always here to ensure everything runs smoothly for you. Thanks again for being a valued part of The James community!
