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

It is an absolute pleasure to be living in Mustard Wharf. It is important we live next to the train connections and city centre amenities and this makes the location just perfect! Great transport connection, all city centre shopping and entertainment is 10 mins away!

Always on time and with great proactive attitude. No problems.

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

Amazing range of discounts on nearby restaurants, hotel and other for residents

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

Living in the area had its ups and downs, but overall it was a convenient and vibrant place to call home. On the positive side, the location was brilliant, we had so many great bars, cafés and eateries right on our doorstep, and the atmosphere could be really lively in the best way. The transport links were excellent too, the bus station was just across the road, and the train station was only about a 15-minute walk, which made getting around super easy. That said, there were a few less ideal aspects to be aware of. Unfortunately, homelessness was quite visible in the area. It was something we spoke about with compassion, because it was a real issue that so many people were facing, but it did feel important to mention, as there were times we'd open our blinds and see people sleeping rough outside. It was a stark reminder of the inequality in the city centre. Parking could also be a bit of a headache. People who couldn’t get a space in the underground lot often parked along the street directly outside of the building, which caused congestion and a flurry of strongly worded emails from the building management! And like much of the city centre, there was also a lot of construction work happening close to the building and the noise definitely disrupted the peace, especially during working hours. Still, if you were after a buzzing city centre lifestyle with everything within easy reach, this area had a lot going for it.

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

It was a mixed experience. The resident advisors and maintenance team were always responsive, friendly, and genuinely helpful, they remembered our names from the start, followed up on issues, and handled what they could quickly and with care. However, when problems needed to be escalated to senior management, the response often felt cold, delayed, and impersonal. Emails from management rarely seemed written by a real person, and we struggled to get clear answers or timely resolutions on more serious matters. It was a shame, as the frontline team did a fantastic job, but the lack of empathy and engagement from senior staff definitely impacted our overall experience.

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

We wished we’d known about the ongoing issues with the commercial utility provider, it caused us a lot of stress and really should have been resolved or clearly communicated before move-in. It also would have been helpful to have more transparency around the planned building works next door. We were told they wouldn’t start until our tenancy ended, but they began three months early and caused a lot of noise and disruption. Lastly, the dust levels in the apartments were much worse than expected. No one seemed to know the cause, and it was a constant frustration trying to keep the place clean.

Manager response

Hi Tamzin and Alistair, Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback — it really means a lot to us. We're glad to hear you loved the apartment, the location, and got on well with the resident team and Andy. We really enjoyed having you as part of the community and were sad to see you go. That said, we're sorry to hear some things didn’t meet your expectations. Just to touch on the bed issue — as mentioned at the time, it was damaged from use, but rather than charge you for a new one, we managed to source a replacement ourselves at no cost to you. We genuinely tried to go the extra mile there, so it's a shame if that didn’t come across how we hoped. If we came across as lacking empathy, we’re really sorry — that was never our intention. On the dust – if you'd raised that with us, we would’ve looked into it straight away. We’ve always had an open-door policy and would rather be told directly so we can try to help. We know there were frustrations, especially around the utility company and the earlier-than-expected building work. We genuinely did our best to communicate what we could, but we understand it was disappointing — and we’re sorry if the responses from us didn’t feel personal enough. We’ll take that on board and try to do better in future. Despite the bumps along the way, we want to say thank you again for choosing to live with us. You were a valued resident, and we’d honestly welcome you back any time. Wishing you all the best in your new place, Warm Wishes, Katy West

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

Sainsburys is in the building, John Lewis and Victoria Gate shopping centre right across the road which is handy. Bus station is nearby and train station isn’t far either but everything in the city centre is walking distance

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

Haven’t really had any problems but they have answered any questions I’ve had

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

A tip I’d give new neighbours - get to know the front desk team, they’re super helpful and make a big difference when you have questions or need support

Manager response

Hi SA, Thank you so much for your lovely review, it really means a lot to us! We love that you're enjoying our amenities and events! Thank you for mentioning some of our team - Ivana is a superstar isn't she!
