Cortland at Colliers Yard, M3

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

Easy access to Victoria station - 10 min walk, this means I can roll out of bed to head to work. No noise and a quiet area which is great considering this is central Manchester. Aldi 12-15 min walk away as well as having a small Sainsbury’s 2 min walk away for essentials!

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

Responded immediately every time and then the issue got sorted straight away.

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

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

I’m a new tenant and absolutely loving it so far! The area has a great range of local shops, cafés, and restaurants, with plenty of choices for food and essentials. There are some lovely green spaces nearby, perfect for walks and relaxing outdoors. Transport links are generally convenient, with reliable buses and train services, though rush hour can get quite busy. Parking is usually available, but it can be a challenge at peak times. Bin collections are regular and well-managed. The street is mostly quiet, with little traffic noise, and I haven’t noticed any issues with anti-social behaviour. Overall, it’s been a fantastic place to live so far!

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

The building management has been responsive and helpful, addressing any issues promptly and efficiently whenever needed.

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

I love the development, but I do wish the terrace was placed higher to offer better views. It’s something you don’t really consider until you’ve moved in. Otherwise, everything has been great! A tip for new neighbours—get to know the best local spots early on!

A great location! I have moved from Deansgate which was out the way whereas here I have everything I need. I love the facilities and my apartment. I have just moved in and the team have been great!

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

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

Wish I knew about the pans not working on the job but it’s my own fault not reading thoroughly enough!

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

Great location and the property looks fantastic. Clean in the main areas just the car parking which is filthy with Xmas tree in the stairwell since December and urine from dogs everywhere

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

When I did have a problem it was resolved but this was when I first moved in when things were quiet and was more manageable.

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

The staff turnover being so high. Even had one staff member knock on my door at 3am and then realised he got the wrong apartment ..

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

The local area is great, very central yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle. You have Victoria train station only a 5 minute walk away to connect you further afield and out the city. If you have a car there is parking at Cortland or several secure car parks close by too. The best thing is although you are in the city there is no major noise which is an added bonus!

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

Yes absolutely, this is always done in quick turnaround too and nothing is too much to ask, the team are always willing to help and resolve any problems or issues you may have

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

I wish we viewed the property in person and chose a city facing apartment that would’ve the only thing that would top our experience off here!
