    Lovely management and really really easy to raise any maintenance concerns. For example problems with fridge or cooker or painting or windows or sofa or flooring or skirting board or toilet or mirror or wardrobe or sink or blockage or otherwise problems with the house

    - Good area - Cafe`s, restaurants, - Gym / pools - Friends nearby - Arndale is really close - Public transport via Manchester Vic

    Efficiently and kindly. They are prompt to respond

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

    The building is terribly run. The facilities aren't maintained and are often out of order. All the long serving concierges had their hours and wages reduced and so decided to leave. The concierge is no longer 24/7 so there are issues getting parcels and with facility opening and closing times.

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

    The local area is OK. There is a lot of parcel theft and shoplifting. The window of the coop seems to get broken every week. It's in the city centre so obviously we'll positioned for shops, bars and restaurants.

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

    Nope. They seem to do as little as possible and constantly change who is in charge.

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

    I wish I'd known the building would be sold to the current owners.

    Great location, poor management

    Great location with amenities. High turnover of management unfortunately and they ignore parts going into disrepair. Overall, design is okay. Some updates required. Parking outside was broken for years. Mirror in gym still broken. Gym equipment broken.

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

    Northern quarter location. Surrounded by great restaurants, bars, convenience shops. Easily accessible ring road.

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

    Yes. We have had multiple issues with payment. The accounts team has wrongly accused us of late rent. Fortunately, they respond promptly and fix the problem

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

    I wish I knew the amenities would wait several months or years for some repairs

    Why it's so special

    The layout of the reception is second to none. It's instantly very impressive to guests and residents alike. The very friendly staff at the reception also make the building a pleasure as you're often greeted with a 'good morning' on your way to work and similar again when you return afterwards. The swimming pool & gym are situated on the top floor of the building with spectacular views of the city.

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

    Living here is amazing, especially if you are just moving to the city and don't really know Manchester that well. You're are in a prime location to bars, clubs, cinema's, shopping centres and the city centre in general.

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

    Yes any time I required maintenance to come to my apartment they were very quick to do so.

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

    Not really stands out in a negative light. I got what I paid for when I moved in and wasn't disappointed

    Poor place to live

    Adam R (Tenant)

    The Skyline 2, M4

    Jun 2022

    Since Way of Life departed and the building was taken over by The Leaders Group, it has been an absolute disgrace. The building is the most poorly looked after place I have ever lived. The pool and facilities are often closed/out of use. Simple things such as the bright multicoloured lights in the pool is now just a dull white light. The floor directly outside the building is shattered and wobbly, it has been a massive hazard for well over 12 months and all has been done to remedy it, is to place one orange cone on the floor. How such a hazard remains uncared is beyond me. They claim that it is not there responsibility and the land is owned by another building. My response. You have tenants paying well over £1000 a month to live in bang average apartments. Fix the dangerous floor. The water feature outside the building was for the best part of a year littered with cigarettes, rubbish, and for over a week… a dead bird…For over a week, a rotting carcass floated in front of the building. The water has now been drained and I thought was being cleaned and refilled. Nope, it begins to fill with litter again; only this time empty of water. The Reception area is dated; and a massive waste of space. If you visit any other residential building in Manchester such as Angel Gardens (directly across the road), it feels much more welcoming and homely. It wouldn’t take a lot of effort to update the furniture, maybe add some plants, additional seating. It has had the same ugly sofa from the apartments and nothing else. The guiding features massive, beautiful windows on entrance and could be absolutely stunning. The fact it looks so minimal, empty and cheap again goes to show how much the people that run this place care. The entrance to the building is not gated and often filled with homeless people or non residents hanging out. It doesn’t feel safe. There is so much potential for a communal space outdoors, and to really make the outside/reception area a wow factor. Privately hate the area, take some care in the garden/reception area. The amount of money this place charges to put absolutely nothing back into it, is the reason myself and various other tenants can’t wait to leave this place behind. It’s a real shame, those making all the money clearly don’t know how to spend it. Re invest in the building and it will do wanders.

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

    Area is central to Manchester and Northern quarter on doorstep. Close to public transport, many things in walking distance.

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

    Maintenance team is great. Apartment issues solved quickly.

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

    I wish I’d known the building was being taken over by people who don’t care.
