Reside Manchester

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

Central location, really close to large supermarkets (eg Aldi), restaurants and bars in NQ. Private parking available within the building but there is also a public car park around the back of the building for any friends/family staying over! Traffic noise can be quite loud at times due to living near a fire station, as emergency services often go past.

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

issues typically get fixed in a few days, if not hours! We have had very few issues in the year or so that we’ve lived here though.

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

Flats are near a fire station which can be loud at times

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

There is a wide range of shops, restaurants and cafes around the area. Very quite apart from construction noise at the back during day time.

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

We just moved in so we are not sure yet. But the property manager did respond to us timely during the move in process.

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

I’d wish to know more about the facilities and traffic around the development. And parking space in the neighbourhood.

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

Lots of local activities, bars and shops within 5 minutes very convenient location. Great for young professionals

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

I have raised a few maintenance issues and someone has come to visit within 24 hours every time.

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

I did not realise the events on offer for tenants such as free breakfast clubs, events for occasions, bbq etc

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

The development is near many bars and restaurants which is great. The co working space downstairs is a little small, and the flat is also very near Manchester Victoria and Picadilly which is useful for transport links. In terms of parking, the availability of spaces is very poor as there's no on street parking and the only option is a £175 a month parking space. As you can understand this makes having a car here very unaffordable - especially when other apartment blocks in the city centre have parking spaces included. The building work which is going on at the moment is also extremely noisy while working from home.

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

It's taken 6 months to get one of the bathroom flushes fixed - so from my experience it's taken a while.

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

I think we should have had an option of a few flats to choose from - we've ended up in a building work facing flat which is extremely noisy. We also heard that you could get a month free rent, however this hasn't been actioned and it was one of the factors which swayed our decision to move into the development.

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

Very close to down, plenty of bars, pubs and restaurants within walking distance. Close to multiple tram stops and train stations (

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

Quickly and efficiently. Usually receive a response within 48 hours.

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

I was worried I might be able to hear traffic/neighbours but I find that the flat is very very quiet which is good.
