About Affinity Living

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The location is quiet but a stone throw away from Manchester. Arndale is 7 minutes walk away, and Victoria station 10. The view of the river is also stunning (even If you live on the lower floors). The staff are friendly and helpful. Our studio is 37m2 which is much larger than an average studio in the UK. Best thing is you use your phone as a key into the building and you flat. The list goes on and on.

The only downside is the price, which is on the expensive side.

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

All the pictures and videos of the property is similar with what you will get. Everything is as advertised. Well done affinity living.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

The material of the build. E.g The kitchen top table is a plastic sort of material coated with a protective layer. It looks like marble but it is not, and get scratches very easily. Could use a better material, to give it a better feel.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

It’s probably the best location to be in in the city. There are small supermarkets, green spaces and bars and restaurants nearby. There is of course the view of the river and walks by the river on your doorstep. It can get loud because of how central it is and there are the occasion sirens but that’s part and parcel of being in the city. Most places are within walking distance, but there is a train station a 2 minute walk away, bus stops minutes away, and a tram stop 12 minutes away.

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

The building’s council band makes council taxes quite expensive, and the electricity bills this year have been quite high.

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

Building management quite quickly deals with any maintenance concerns.

Great location, 5 mins away from arndale, deansgate, 10 mins away from northern quarter. They have a sainsburys local right outside and a Tesco 5 mins away. 7-8 min walk from Salford Central train station and bus stop, 5 mins away from exchange square tram stop. Only downside is church bells ring every evening for an hour which I can hear from my apartment.

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

Apartment is relatively cold in the winter, only one cupboard provided for storage which wasn’t enough so I had to buy other storage units.

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

Not had many issues, the ones that I had were resolved quickly by the concierge staff.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The building is close to the city center. Very convenient location for grocery. Also, the management team is really great!

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

Where’s the main stopcock (to shut off the water)?
Where are the gas and electricity meters?
Do any surfaces need special cleaning products, eg wooden floors?
What day are the bins collected?
Do you have any old tins of paint in the same colour as the walls?
Do you have any instruction manuals or warranties on electrical items?

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

The only limitation is the lack of an indoor gym, which makes some inconvenience.
