A Modern, Welcoming Development with Excellent Facilities and Management

Hairpin House, B12

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

The area has a good range of local shops, restaurants and cafés, with plenty of options for everyday essentials and places to eat. There are also nearby green spaces which are great for walking, relaxing and enjoying some fresh air. Transport links are convenient, with good connections for commuting and getting around London, although public transport can sometimes be busy, particularly during peak hours. The street itself is generally pleasant and convenient, with a good neighbourhood feel. Overall, it's a nice area to live in, with a good balance of local amenities, transport and access to outdoor spaces. There is always some room for improvement when it comes to parking and traffic, but these are relatively minor compared with the benefits of the location.

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

The building management team has always been friendly, approachable and professional. Any issues or queries raised are dealt with promptly and efficiently, and the team is always happy to help. Their proactive attitude and commitment to residents make a real difference and contribute to a positive living experience.

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

I wish I had known just how much the little things can make a difference to everyday living. The convenience of having everything close by, the quality of the communal spaces and the sense of community really add to the experience. My advice to anyone moving in would be to make the most of the facilities, get to know the building team and your neighbours, and enjoy everything the development has to offer. Overall, it's been a great place to call home!

Nov 2026

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

The location is brilliant. Everything you need is a short walk away, with plenty of cafés, bars and restaurants nearby and town right on the doorstep. The one downside is the street outside. It often smells of urine, which seems to be a mix of people walking their dogs and people heading home after a night out, so it's not the nicest welcome home.

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

Whenever I've raised anything it's been sorted quickly and with a smile. I honestly couldn't ask for a more helpful team.

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

The pavement outside can smell pretty pissy, especially after weekends ... but other than, lovely building.

Oldfield Wharf, M5

Nov 2026

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

Oldfield Wharf is in a great location, with Deansgate and Manchester city centre within walking distance. There's a good selection of restaurants, bars and shops nearby, along with convenient transport links. Everything is fairly accessible, which makes it a good place to live if you work in or around the city centre.

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

The management team has been approachable and responsive whenever I've had any questions. Communication has been clear, and they've been helpful in dealing with any queries I've raised. Overall, I've been pleased with the level of support provided.

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

Nothing major comes to mind. I'd recommend getting familiar with the building facilities and how everything operates early on. The location is particularly convenient, and having so many amenities within walking distance has been a real advantage.

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

I love the location, close to everything. Difficult to park on street for deliveries but lots of car parks nearby. Can be loud with sirens but nothing bad.

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

Came quickly to fix when required.

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

There is noise from sirens quite a lot of the time, but this gets better with time

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

So close to the station, breweries, coffee shops and a climbing wall. Can get to central London super quick. Pretty quiet, but sound does travel easily.

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

It’s so quick! Am very impressed with the efficiency in which problems get sorted. Mel and Jason in the property management team are so great and always help us when we need and make us feel so at home here. The community events are also really great.

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

How great Mel and Jason are. It’s like having friends built in. Also that you don’t have to worry about being at home when things are delivered as there is a parcel room.
