Milliners Yard, L3

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

Whilst I’m still getting used to finding my way around, so haven’t found all the little independent shops and bars, the fabric district is clearly the next place to be. Everything is on your doorstep, and only a lift ride down. In the time we’ve been here, I’ve not had a single negative experience. Yes there is noise, can be rubbish on the streets, and traffic can build up at certain times, none of it lasts. The traffic slows, the council seem to be out every day making the streets look good, and the noise is part of city life. Being here it really feels like you’re in the heart of the real Liverpool. It’s where the workers live, not a tourist area, and that gives it a special charm. The bars, restaurants, takeaways, and shops, all rely on repeat business so they care more. It shows in the little acts of kindness that you see each day. Motorists stop to let the busses out, shop workers take hot drinks out to homeless people, the takeaways remember your order. All these things make others feel valued, and are true selfless acts of kindness. Yeah it may look a bit rough around the edges, but that’s because it’s real, it’s not a put on show for tourists. It’s Liverpool.

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

I mentioned that there was a small leak under the bathroom shower screen, and they were on it straight away. It wasn’t even a real issue, and is something every other landlord I’ve had would’ve put off or ignored. It doesn’t get better than that.

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

That it existed before I found it so I could have moved in years ago!

The Fabric District is a very up and coming area, with great transport links (we’re only minutes from Lime Street), a 15 minute walk to Liverpool One, and everything else you could need on your doorstep. The building is right near the Royal and all the unis- but not close enough that you get disturbed by sirens!

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

They let us know of an issue they’d picked up just before we moved in, which was amazing, as we already knew it was being sorted before we’d even seen it! We’ve only had one minor issue ourselves, and it’s being sorted straight away

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

That we would finally feel properly at home. Getting to meet all the resident pets is a definite bonus!! Also- I don’t think we’ve ever waited longer than 15 mins for a takeaway to arrive since we’ve been here!

Milliners Yard is in a convenient location, within walking distance of Liverpool city centre, the Baltic Triangle and the waterfront. There is a good selection of supermarkets, convenience stores, cafés, restaurants and bars nearby, making day-to-day living very easy. The area has excellent public transport links, with regular bus services and Liverpool Central and Lime Street stations within walking distance. There are several green spaces and the waterfront nearby for walking and recreation. Stafford Street is generally quiet for a city-centre location, although there can be some traffic noise and activity at weekends due to the nearby nightlife. Bin collections are generally reliable, and as with many city-centre developments, parking can be limited unless you have an allocated space. Overall, the location offers a good balance of convenience, amenities and accessibility.

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

You could say: > The building management team has generally been responsive and approachable whenever I've raised any issues. Communication has been clear, and maintenance requests have been dealt with in a reasonable timeframe. The staff are friendly and proactive, and they regularly organise resident events and activities, which helps create a welcoming community and shows they genuinely care about residents' experience.

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

One thing I wish I'd known before moving in is just how much the resident amenities add to the experience of living here. The gym, roof terrace and co-working lounge quickly become part of your daily routine, and the free coffee machine and regular community events, such as yoga sessions and pizza-making evenings, make it easy to meet neighbours. I'd also recommend making the most of the resident app and keeping an eye out for events, as they're a great way to get involved. As with any city-centre development, it's worth being aware that there can be some noise at weekends and parking is limited if you don't have an allocated space, but overall the facilities and community atmosphere make it a great place to live.

The street generally feels safe and well looked after, bin collections are reliable, and I haven’t experienced any major issues with noise or anti-social behaviour. Overall, it’s been a comfortable and convenient place to live, and I’d happily recommend it to others.

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

The building management has always been responsive and helpful whenever I’ve raised any issues. Communication has been clear, and they have dealt with maintenance requests and general enquiries in a professional and timely manner. I’ve always felt that my concerns were taken seriously, and the team has been friendly and easy to contact.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how active and welcoming the community is. The management team regularly organises events for residents, which makes it easy to meet neighbours and feel part of the community. I’d also recommend making full use of the rooftop terrace, as it’s a great place to relax and enjoy the views. The parcel collection service is another feature that’s been really convenient and has made receiving deliveries simple and stress-free.
