Lovely but with problems

Kieran (Tenant)

Verified Resident

York & Elder, BN1

Sept 2024

The flats are in a good area, reasonably sized and good access to communal facilities. The real stars are front of house staff, lovely and extremely helpful. Anat has been a diamond the whole time. Unfortunately other teams/managers are less responsive/quite unhelpful and there have been times that urgent or important requests or concerns have been raised and not responded to/resolved for some time.

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

The area is good, with the main roads loud but not too bad, regular bin collection though as you'd imagine it piles up daily. Really good location close to bus links and of course the train station.

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

Most of the time. Have been slow on a couple of instances when a quicker response would have meant the issue was smaller. They have been happy to discuss when concerns are raised some of the time, which is appreciated.

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

Be prepared for a bit of back and forth with management for requests/concerns.

Living at West Tower so far has been a fantastic experience. The building is always clean, and the amenities feel like a 5 star hotel. The management team is friendly and responsive, Christos has been always supportive making sure any concerns are handled quickly.

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

The local area around West Tower is vibrant with a great range of shops, restaurants, and cafes. There’s always something to do.

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

The building management has address maintenance requests promptly.

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

Quality flat and area

Thomas R (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Residences Manchester, M15

Sept 2024

Building overall is amazing, great facilities, lots of space in the apartment living room & kitchen with a nice open floor plan. Smaller rooms are a bit small especially when there are three young male professionals who are able to work from home and would like to fit a desk setup in the room. However, the building itself has unreal facilities - pool, sauna, tennis & basketball court and great work from home spaces.

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

Great overall area, close to some nice bars and restaurants, especially those along the canal. However, not the best location for supermarkets and local shops.

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

Usually very helpful and offer to solve the issues quick.

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

I believe after the three-year contract we sign the tenants have the right to increase rent by 10% even though throughout our three years rent can be increased by CPI + 1%. Although this adds some protection to rent increases within the third year I believe the 10% increase after 3 years would mean the protection disappears a bit.

Staff is supportive and friendly

Solasta Riverside, G5

Sept 2024

Plenty of facilities exist, such as a gym, TV lounge, residents’ lounges, workspaces, meeting rooms, etc. The staff is friendly. We were there for almost one year, and there was no utility outbreak during that year. We were there as we lived in our own "home". Lifts and facility areas are clean and tidy.

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

It's near to the city centre and accessibility to shops, restaurants, and transport (buses, trains and subway) are convenient. No issues with bin collection and it's also convenient.

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

The staff is supportive and friendly. Always they treat us with a smile.

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

We experienced the information provided on the Solasta website. We refer to only it before coming to Solasta. No deviations. Solasta made us happy in our first "home" in the UK. You added unforgettable memories to our lives. Thank you, Solasta.

Offers a lot for Bath at a reasonable price

Spring Wharf, BA2

Sept 2024

A clean design which allows for your personal touch with large bin stores, a private terrace with seating, allotment and a gym. Some maintenance is needed but they can be quick to help out if something is wrong. Staff always on site and a helpful parcel store!

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

Great amount of facilities in the local vicinity including shops, train station and bus stops. Great location within Bath.

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

An online ticket system is quick and easy to use for reporting issues. They respond and help where they can, given a time that meets your needs.

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

Make sure to explore the local area not too far away!
