Amazing location, having the General Store on your doorstep is so useful for grabbing milk in the morning/post office. I’ve never been bothered by noise outside although it’s a busy area.

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

Any issues raised have been sorted promptly! Even putting a tv on the wall for me!

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

Good - the cheap bills as I never use my heating! Bad - the closing of the gym, I’ve found it hard to find another of that quality.

Good: Location is perfect. Friendly staff on desk, the rooftop is good, but we have a neighbour from Hell and it now has to close at 10pm. Bad: internet, window issues and no gym. Also turn over of management is an issue when problems arise. The staff on the desk can only do so much which is a shame. More power should be given to them. The building has started to fall apart so one can only assume this is through lack of quality for building materials

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

Urban bubble run the property. They are okay, the finance department need an overhaul as they are so slow and incompetent it’s shocking it functions as it does.

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

I wish the flats in the front, facing the sun had aircon. I assumed this was the case given the amount it costs for a 2 bed, sadly this wasn’t. If I knew the gym would had been removed I would not have moved in. I thought the windows would have been cleaned monthly however it’s been over a year since this was last done. A shame.

Right in the heart of Ancoats, just a short walk from the Northern Quarter and city centre. There are plenty of bars and restaurants around, so it can get loud specially at night.

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

They apologised and gave us a plant, which was very thoughtful :)

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

How loud that street can get at night, even with the windows closed.

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

I wish I knew how close everything was and that there was a rooftop bar.

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

The apartments are not very well insulated and the noise is very loud. There is little parking in area. Unfortunately there is always tent set up with a homeless person begging residents for money.

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

They replying with a holding email and never get back to you. All rather disappointing.
