Oxygen, M1

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

Quite close to train and tram stations and the main street - Arndale the shopping mall is within 15 mins of walk. There are lots of supermarkets and shops around, plus restaurants around Piccadilly Garden. At the same time, Northern Quarter is close as well, and local shops and restaurants can be found there. There are parking slots on the street, but the building itself has limited parking spaces only. There is a dedicated bin room for the tenants. There is a parcel room in the lobby, so if you are getting parcels in bigger size, you can still receive them if you are not around in the building.

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

Clearfibre has installed routers for each apartment. You can choose to use them for Internet, and it is very easy to set up. There is QR code on the router, which leads you to the sign up page. However, it is up to you to decide if you want to use other internet providers.

What is the best feature of your home:

The ventilation is very good. People like me who don't like to open windows would love that. I don't usually open windows since there are insects coming in, but the ventilation is so good that it allows me to not open windows at all.

Im mainly staying in the building due to how close it is to Piccadilly station, however the Ring Road can get loud at time. There are many restaurants nearby in Nothern Quarter and Ancoats and there is Aldi at Urban Exchange less than 5 min away

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

There is no parking available. We have to rent a separate parking outside of the building. Good location in terms of distance to town or station. But expect some homeless in front of the building playing with the cigar ashtray. Some owners are using the property as Airbnb. Unbearable behavior from those who stay there. All THE TIME. NOISE, SICK, POLLUTION Bin room is located outside and anyone can enter. Not safe

I am disappointed with the ACL full management service as I had an email from the freeholder stating in breach of lease and request for repossession and asking for overcharging and high loan interest penalty for the ground rent . It is very upset for a foreigner buying a UK overseas property and unable to understand and handle this staying in a remote land.
