The building is decent, nice flats and bedrooms

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

Local area is amazing. So close to town, northern quarter and ancoats. Shops, gym, cafes, bars and restaurants are so close to the building. Traffic is a bit noisy as just off the main oldham road but flats are well insulated.

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

With complete ignorance and stupidity. Would never go to them for any other problems.

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

I wish I'd known how untrusworthy the landords were as I would never have moved there.

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

Location is of easy access to city centre. Super convenient for public transportation, lots of choices of cafes and restaurants. The building has a car park which is a plus. It can be noisy at times as it’s close to the main road. Broadside is very close to the adjacent building. Some units may have to compromise their privacy.

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

Very quick response to email enquiries. The Community Manager, Astor, is helpful and very efficient. She always follow up on issues even it cannot be fixed instantly.

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

Utilities bills can be quite high as we cannot choose our own provider.

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

The apartment is in an excellent location, right in the heart of northern quarter, lots of shops and pubs around for a good night out! Also well connected through public transport, I haven’t really noticed any such anti social behaviour in the past 2 years that I’ve lived here. Overall would recommend this area, great place to live in!

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

They are slow with repairs and maintenance issues, but other than that for general enquiries they are very quick and helpful!

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

I don’t think there’s any such thing that I wish I knew earlier.

Promptly and have resolved issue quickly each time any maintenance problems have arose

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

Being adjacent to the main road and nearby the fire station, it can be quite noisy at times of busy traffic.

Manager response

Hi Robin, Thank you for sharing such positive feedback! We’re delighted that you’re enjoying the convenience of Broadside’s location, the views from your flat, and the vibrant community that Ancoats has to offer. It’s also wonderful to hear that our management and concierge teams have been responsive and able to resolve any maintenance issues promptly for you. We appreciate you highlighting both the positives and the realities of living in the city centre — while the energy of Manchester brings a bit of background noise, we’re so glad the location and atmosphere add to your overall experience. It means a lot to know you would recommend us, and we’re really pleased to have you as part of the Broadside community.
