We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

Chips, by Urban Splash, sits in New Islington. The development is a 15 minute walk away from the Piccadilly station and Manchester city centre. As well as this residents benefit from living in a stand out vibrant building, overlooking canals on three sides. In addition, most of the apartments have folding internal doors allowing flexible spaces through out.

The Property management and building management at the chips remains very average, but the facility is beautiful, well located, at reach of the city centre and everything else! The excess construction of apartment around makes it a bit less open and artistic.

Chips is an excellent development well located on the edge of the city. Chips is also located within walking distance of Ancoats square which offers a number or bars and restaurants. Externally, the building is a Manchester landmark with a unique attractive design. The building is well managed.

The building has not aged well. There are cracks everywhere. The building could do with more regular cleaning in the floors and main entrance. The design of the building from the outside is great and everyone knows the Chips building, it can be seen as a bit outdated. The worst thing about living here if the building management and property management. It’s been a nightmare since we moved here from a 50-70% increase in electric bills (and we can’t change providers!!) to stolen parcels and dirty floors. No hot water for days. The heating is a nightmare too. Completely avoid moving here. We are actually moving out ourselves soon as we only rented.

The building management needs improving to ensure safety of the residents. The key fobs to our floor are constantly breaking and now the floor can be accessed by anyone. The building would benefit from a concierge.

The building is very well designed with spacious apartments each overlooking part of the Ashton canal. There is also a communal roof garden that is great to access during warmer days. Building management is good as the building is always kept clean and tidy, however lifts break on a regular basis which is inconvenient for those living on the upper floors.
