Great place to live

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

Several cafes and restaurants around and a huge park with a lovely river to walk by! Construction noise is pretty constant but that is what you get for living in the city centre. Traffic noise is largely forgettable. Bus stop is 5 mins away and 30 mins walk to pretty much anywhere in the Town centre

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

Maintenance is quick and friendly, Dave is especially great!

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

People next door are more than happy to help out, it really is a community here.

Manager response

Thank you so much for your kind words Ellie! Thanks for choosing to be a part of our community! Ema, Assistant Community Manager

The building is located in a walking distance from the city centre and Peel park. The area is wonderful and there are plenty of options of coffee shops and restaurants with an achievable walking distance to Media City.

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

Absolutely yes and extra miles to attention: fast and professional!

The building is managed excellently

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

Excellent proximety to manchester city centre as well as great transport links on the doorstep. Minimal noise despite central location. The only thing it is missing is a co-working or indoor social space!

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

All issues have been replied to quickly, with timescales given on when things can be fixed based on subcontractors lead times.

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

Great coffee (and dog treats!) in reception! Bonus!

Manager response

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback Fiona! We're delighted to hear that you've had a positive experience with David and the team. Please let us know if there is anything else we could assist you with! Ema, Assistant Community Manager

Avoid Paying Upfront – Poor Refund Process, Unresponsive Finance Team, and Risk of Being Ghosted

J (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Oxbow, M5

Jun 2025

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

Avoid Paying Upfront – Poor Refund Process, Unresponsive Finance Team, and Risk of Being Ghosted I was a tenant at Oxbow for a few months and paid everything upfront, including rent and car park fees. Near the end of my tenancy, I requested a refund for just the final month of car park rent, as I had chosen not to use the space. I clearly stated that I was not asking for any refund on apartment rent—only the unused car park fee. Oxbow agreed to the refund. That request was made back in February/March, but now it’s June, and I still haven’t received the refund. The only responses I’ve received have been vague explanations about “finance record discrepancies” and how my deposit supposedly doesn’t match, which needs to be resolved before the refund can be issued. Despite these excuses, nothing has progressed, and the finance team has been unresponsive. What’s even more frustrating is that Oxbow has now stopped replying to my emails entirely. I’ve already moved out, and it’s been months since my initial request. At this point, I’m genuinely worried I’m being ghosted and may never get my money back. If you’re thinking of moving into Oxbow, be extremely cautious about paying everything upfront. If you ever need a refund, you might be caught in a cycle of delays, vague excuses, and total silence from management. Worse yet, their system may blame you for internal errors and potentially try to charge you more down the line.

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

No where close to being responsible for the actions taken by greystars

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

That they do not properly deal with finance team thus should not have paid everything upfront

Manager response

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience regarding the refund process. We understand how frustrating the delay must have been and appreciate your patience while the issue was being resolved. We’d like to confirm that this matter has now been addressed and the refund has been processed. We apologise for any inconvenience caused during the process and have taken your feedback on board to help improve our communication and internal procedures moving forward. If there’s anything else you’d like to discuss, please don’t hesitate to get in touch directly!

Living at Oxbow in 2025

Jimbo (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Oxbow, M5

Jun 2025

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

Location is great. It’s around a 15 minute walk into the city centre and we have multiple shops, parks and amenities such as gyms within walking distance. The nearest train station is around a 25 minute walk and Uber is always an option. The building is just off a main road so traffic noise and congestion isn’t too bad. Parking could be an issue if you don’t pay for the onsite car park but that comes at a premium cost of £150.00 pcm.

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

Whenever an issue has arisen, Oxbow have responded by sending out Dave. Each time this has been within 48 hours of our initial report. Sometimes, he has come to our property and fixed the issue on the same day! He always makes sure to greet us around the building and is a great laugh too.

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

Initially we were told that a nearby car park would charge £40.00 pcm and this was a no brainer considering living in a city with multiple vehicles between us. However, this was not the case. I have since gone with the on site car park at £150.00 pcm and this is a huge difference in price. I will say that the security and convenience is far better in the onsite car park than the nearby one.

Manager response

Hi Jimbo, Thanks so much for sharing your experience — we’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying life at Oxbow! A big thank you for the shoutout to Shannon, Lucas, Dave, and Ben — they’ll be over the moon to hear your kind words! We appreciate your honest feedback regarding parking costs and are glad to hear the convenience and security of the onsite car park has worked out well for you. Thanks again for being a valued part of the Oxbow community! Ema, Assistant Community Manager
