The building is very well equipped with various facilities

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

The shops nearby and outdoor space is great, great to be so near the canal. There are various bar options in the close vicinity and access to transport is fast and easy with the train station being only a 8 minute walk. Bin collections are very frequent meaning they are never full. Barely any traffic noise with windows shut.

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

Yes, all responses were given quickly and to a high level of attention to detail showing genuine care to fix the issue when it arises.

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

Apartments don’t come with an intercom so when visitors come you have to come down and get them.

Soho Yard, S3

Aug 2026

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

Location is fantastic for amenities in Kelham Island - so many gorgeous places to eat & drink, city centre, station etc. Only exception is being very close to main road, looking out at huge development on other side of road and no parking or drop off zones

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

I have only just moved in so there hasn’t been the chance yet!!

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

Nowhere to hang anything at all! No coat hooks in cupboard or on backs of doors! Coats / towels / dressing gowns?! ;)

Manager response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and share your experience of living at Soho Yard. It’s great to hear that you’re enjoying the development, facilities and the location, and that you’ve found the team so welcoming and helpful. We’re also pleased to hear that the soundproofing and courtyard lighting have made such a positive difference. We appreciate your feedback regarding the lack of coat hooks and hanging space, as well as the comments around parking and drop-off. We’ll make sure these points are passed on to the relevant team. We hope you continue to enjoy your time at Soho Yard!

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

I would highly recommend Awais for his excellent service and professionalism. He showed us the house we wanted to rent and was incredibly thorough throughout the whole process. Once we were accepted, he personally made sure we received the keys and that everything was in order. Awais genuinely went the extra mile to make the whole experience smooth and stress-free. He was helpful, responsive, and made us feel well looked after from start to finish. His hard work and dedication definitely deserve recognition — and in my opinion, a bonus! Thank you, Awais, for all your help and excellent service.

The estate is lovely, road isn’t quite finished yet but they are still building so I expect this will follow shortly after so it’s not ruined by construction traffic

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

All issues have been actioned same day and assigned contractors

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

How awkward energy companies are with setting up solar panels- aside from that Awais covered everything and was very thorough
