I wish there would be more outdoor activities on terrace something similar to moda in Manchester as the football pitch that would be absolutely nice

Manager response

Hi Abdul, Thank you for your lovely review - I'm so glad I've been of help to you! Thanks for your feedback re the roof, we'll bear that in mind when organising events. Keep an eye out for our weekly wellness classes - when the weather is nice we do these on the roof terraces!

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

The location of The James is totally ideal for me. It's very central and close to many shops, bars, and restaurants. Everything is within a short walk, even beautiful open parks. The transport links are exceptional and parking has never been a problem for me. Bin collections are regular and despite being on a busy street the noise is completely acceptable.

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

I haven't had any issues yet. But should any occur I know it will be dealt with quickly and professionally.

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

I didn't expect everyone (residents and staff) to be so helpful and friendly. I've only lived here two months and have made some incredible friends.

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

Tower Works is located a short walk to everything. I love having things on my door step. 92 degrees is the perfect place for a morning coffee and Salts Bar is great on an evening, especially in the Summer when you can sit out on the lock, The street is quiet, we are not disturbed by noise considering it is so central. There is an onsite car park but I choose to park locally to save money.

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

Maintenance are always very quick to respond and any issues I have had during my time here have been dealt with quickly.

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

You do not need to upgrade your internet, as I did look into this however the standard that comes with the apartment is super fast!
