Building management has generally been responsive to issues raised, though some concerns—such as the limited gym facilities and restrictions on personal equipment—have not yet been addressed

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

Before moving into Lampwick Quay, I wish I had known that the gym facilities were quite limited and that residents are not permitted to bring their own equipment, as this impacts the usability of the amenity

Great location on the Ancoats canal. Completely pedestrianised outside of the flats, with coffee shops, bakeries, hair & nail salon, pub and wine bar, in 2 min walking distance. Tram stop is only a 5 minute walk. There is also the doctors and pharmacy just 3 mins away. Cutting room square is also only 5 mins walk away and has some of the best restaurants in MCR. For supermarkets there’s coop and Sainsbury’s either side of the canal, or a large Aldi just over a 5 minute walk away.

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

Good. I’ve raised a number of maintenance issues over the 4 years I’ve been living here, and the team that come out have always been great and fixed the issue.

When the concierge needs to take their break within their shift, there is no cover on the desk. So during this time you will not being able to collect parcels or get in touch regarding anything urgent (not a big deal, but can’t think of many things!) Only other thing is you have to come down to collect visitors, friends, family - you can’t buzz them up or let them through any doors via the phone in the apartment.
