About X1 Developments Limited

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

The property is set a short walk from the city centre and close to lots of bars, takeaways and shops. There isn’t really a supermarket close by though. The nearby nightlife can be noisy and parking is often difficult.
There is a high turnover of people living in my building which results in a lack of community spirit and often residents do not take personal responsibility for themselves in communal areas.

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

I wish I knew more about the property facilities. The biking appears very new and impressive but there are lots of every day issues like lack of recycling, insecure post room, no working intercom ‘buzzer’ system that make living here more difficult and inconvenient than necessary.

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

The property management have been very slow to response to any queries I have raised. They rarely respond to any emails and never return phone calls

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

Location wise it’s convenient. Tesco express just outside as well as petrol station, GP nearby and not far from public transport links. The main road is having a lot of building work done leaving it noisy from 8am each morning, hard to drive down and creating issues with traffic.

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

That building management are badly organised, fail to communicate and respond and that many are unhappy.
That properties are registered with eon as business properties despite being residential and that changing them proves a massive issue and is proving impossible increasing electricity rates
That the building feels unfinished and is often like living on a building site due to noise and overall disruption
The views of other residents which are far from positive.
That parking is unavailable despite requesting this multiple times and you have to live in at least a 2 bed to be able to access this leading to stress, issues and having to source alternatives so I could get to work

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

When issues are raised they are rarely responded to with staff frequently being on annual leave or just not replying to emails. When they do get responded to they are met in a very blasé not really an issue way suggesting they do not care about tenant satisfaction or safety. I am really unhappy with the management of this building as are many others

Salford Quays itself is nice – it’s nice to be by the water. There’s a decent selection of bars, places to eat all within walking distance. There’s tram stops close to all areas, which is convenient if you use it. If you drive parking is terrible in this area. Make sure you secure a car park before moving here – most of the apartments in this building have no parking. There’s paid parking across the road which is expensive, and unreliable due to Old Trafford being so close, on a match day parking is near impossible. The bin area in this building is often overflowing and messy. Over all the building is quiet.

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

Go elsewhere. There’s no benefit to living in this building aside from the location and views. Avoid X1 Lettings.

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

Responses to any queries I’ve had have been delayed by days to weeks. Polite responses, blunt at times.

I live in a 2 bedroom 1st floor apartment with lots natural light.

The apartments are pretty sound proof, I hardly hear the traffic when the windows are closed and rarely hear the neighbours unless they are in the communal hall way.

The building has very friendly security in duty at night too which is great!

Pros – Pet friendly
Con – Not many windows open, building management service is very poor.

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

The apartment block is walking distance from everything you need, supermarkets, bars, restaurants, public transport, green space. The perfect location!

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

The building management service is very poor which has slightly tarnished my stay here. I am unable to fix issues I have due to lack of response and care from the staff.
