The building is in a prime location, very close to the city centre and surrounded by lots of shops and restaurants. Oxford Road station is also a 5-10 min walk away and it is also conveniently located for university students

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

Simon handled my viewing and contract. He was very helpful and responsive. He answered any questions and worries I had and was always very supportive throughout the whole process!

Nothing much else to add. I would recommend coming in for a viewing to really visualise the space!

My wife and I moved in to Fernley tower a couple of days ago. So far, our experience has been very good. The location is perfect, down the road from the tram station, and a short walk into the centre. Driving to the place is easy as well, thanks to the large carpark down the road from the development. Noise was a worry, coming from the countryside, but the windows and very well soundproofed which is great. The people we have met so far have all been great too.

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

We are raising issues over the next couple of days, will assess how they respond.

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

Wish we had known that certain furnishings cannot be moved i.e. TV.

Wish the development wasn’t still under works. Won’t be able to fully take advantage of all the facilities for months.

I’ve been at The Fernley, Square Gardens for a month and I’m loving it so far. The location is great with some great restaurants on and around First Street, close to deansgate-Castlefields tram station. Private but close to the action The only thing First street is lacking is a supermarket near by. There is a Sainsbury’s local which is close but not great for a big shop. I have opted to have my shopping delivered, which tends to be a lot easier but due to being a new development, delivery drivers tend to get lost.

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

My Tv was set to reset daily, this meant that I had to log into Google and Netflix every day, which was annoying. I spoke to reception who let me know that they can call someone in to fix it, but they also provided me with a code to reset myself. I reset the settings to keep me logged in with ease, took no more than 5 minutes to resolve. The team were lovely and are always happy to answer and questions/ queries.

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

I wish I had asked more about the area and restaurants/ shops nearby, especially about local supermarkets as this has been a learning curve for me as I was originally looking at apartments in Ancoats.

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

Its very accessible and close to the centre. Teansport links are good, wapkable to oxford road and buses below the property

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

Simon has been very helpful and patient right from the start. He guided me in choosing the right apartment and took the time to address and clear all my doubts throughout the process. I truly appreciate his support and professionalism
