Northern Group reviews

“Very high quality. Been here for the last 9 year. Very well maintained. Sort problems out quickly. Think there is better buildings around. The security its good. The private car park for the building costs 100 pounds a month with is expensive.” Verified resident on Flint Glass Wharf

Good area but poor building and management

Security is a big issue. Parcels get stolen, car windows in the car park get smashed, bike and items get stolen from car park too. The management don’t seem to worried and have said to get parcels delivered to another address or the post office – not what you expect when paying over a £1k per month.

Flats are okay but a bit tired. Very noisy area with roads and constant parties.

Check the flint glass wharf Facebook group for up to date set of issues – and they are many.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Good pubs bars and restaurants

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

It’s very noisy with the windows open. Expect mail and parcels to be stolen and nothing to be done about it.

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

Slowly or completely not responded. They go out of their way not to be flexible at reasonable requests.

Quiet accomodation

The actual flat is a really decent size for city centre. Lots of storage space. All these flats rented by same property management company who are fine apart from at the weekend when they are not open. If there is a problem they’re usually quite sorted. When we moved in we were promised we would get a concierge which hasn’t happened.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

I like all the independent bars and restaurants. Dislike all the building work going on. Quite noisy on a Saturday morning with the drilling. Easy links for work.

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

Wish we had known about all the building work going on in the area. Can’t sleep in the day.

What is the best feature of your home:

The space and the location is great about the home for city centre.

Quiet but good location

You think it would be louder because of the square. They are considerate constructors. Property management are ok but a bit slow sometimes. It is good, spacious and open with big windows. But none of the windows open. I have a balcony though so it is ok. The other windows don’t open.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

I like the area as it’s up and coming, it’s nice, quite central.

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

I wish I had known that some of the windows don’t open!

Convenient location

They could do with a receptionist for the mail. The management is quite good they respond quickly. The room is quite spacious, not loads of storage space. Nice and modern. The security is quite good. It’s quite new which is nice.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Quite like that it’s in town, up and coming area. Nothing to dislike.

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

Nothing to say, all came as expected in the information.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

Concierge service is the one thing I would change. Once had a parcel stolen.
