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

This is a great location, as EVERYTHING is close by, not only shops and restaurants, but also places of touristic interest, such as museums, the docks, pier, important buildings and squares. The transport links are great too, as the Mersey rail station is just in front of the building, and the bus stops are also less than a hundred steps away from the front door. Since it is downtown, one of the down sides to it is that many homeless people will hang around drunk, or set up tents. It's never insecure, though, as they are not violent, but sometimes there will be a lot of litter around.

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

They have always responded promptly through the correct channels of communication, and when a repair is needed, they have always shown up with a solution.

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

I wish I had known the amoung of sunlight could come in to the apartment, and how the weather affected it. Also, that there would be ongoing development at the building next door, which caused a lot of noise for about 5 months, but that is over now, it was just a temporary inconvenience.

bins are around back with collection once a week, they regularly clean the bin area. There’s space around back at the car park where you can also dog walk and there’s a picnic area. good selection of supermarkets local from aldi to b&m

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

Have had issues with a leak and they came same day. So long as there’s someone at the property they’ll get it sorted asap - also incredibly responsive to emails.

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

The local area - there were hidden gems all over I wish I’d discovered earlier. The local businesses were amazing and there’s a lot of activities/festivals in the city centre.

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

We are going on two years living here, and we still think the location is amazing, it's across the street from an underground stop and it's connected to the train station. And it's an average of 8 minutes walk to anywhere in the centre, shopping centre, cinema, restaurants, shops,

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

We have only asked for help to solve maintenance problems and they have been quick, in our case it has been fault problems that have not been generated by us and they have solved them without us having to pay anything extra.

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

We were not shown more options and it was explained to us if at some point of the year, there was a possibility of sunlight coming in. Especially for us who did not know the city and did not know the sun's orientation.

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

Right in the town centre - good transport links with the station being under 10 mins away. Sometimes can hear the local pubs going off on Fri/Sat/during main football games but not too disruptive.

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

Yes, they replied very quickly and would get it sorted. The marks on the wall when I left did cost me £50 so the place is a little expensive but worth it.

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

How expensive the maintenance of the apartment would be - with council tax, gas is also extremely expensive so would suggest checking different providers.
