Wise Living

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

I really like that is a quiet area with only families around. The only bad thing was that my bike was stolen in front of my house, but it was unlocked to be honest.

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

There is a portal online, we use, and it is an effective way to communicate and track the repair requests.

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

No Window Shutters are installed to any window and I need to buy shutters and hire some one to install them.

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

Close to a lovely green park, shops, and the Salford Quays, and multiple exercise groups/gyms. The off street parking and efficient bin collection are bonuses, and all neighbours are very friendly. The street is also very quiet, despite it being a busy area.

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

Yes - easy to raise requests, and responded quickly and efficiently.

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

There is a lot of construction happening around, with new builds being erected - this means that the quality of the neighborhood is increasing each month, which is exciting to see.

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

Close enough to Salford shopping centre. Recent development has added some fairly trashy and loud neighbours. Bin men are as horrible as to be expected from Salford and they make you pay when someone steals your bin. Transport's excellent though.

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

Had to wait literal months for a shower to be fixed. No updates, no contact, nothing.

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

Would've been lovely to know that the road I moved in wasn't on any maps at the time, really messed with deliveries, but it's not relevant anymore.

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

The area is quite convenient with a decent range of local shops, takeaways, and supermarkets nearby, including a Lidl and an Aldi within walking distance. There are also some good parks like Buile Hill Park which offer nice green space for walks and relaxation. Public transport is generally reliable, with frequent buses to Manchester city centre and surrounding areas. However, during peak times, buses can get crowded and traffic on major roads like Eccles Old Road can be slow. The street itself is usually quiet. Bin collections are regular. Overall, it’s a fairly convenient place to live with good transport links and access to essential services.

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

They respond accordingly to issues when reported, usually within a reasonable timeframe.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that the house wasn’t freshly painted and we would to manage that ourselves.

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

Quiet area with good transport links and shops in walking distance. Never had any problems living here.

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

Prompt call-outs, generally. Difficult sometimes to get a suitable time due to working.

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

Street and parking spaces are quite narrow. Car door was hit by neighbour’s car door because of this.
