Pomona Wharf, M15

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

Location is a little hidden which makes it perfect for a quiet location, there is a near by tram stop and there is a Tesco express and coop near by. There is parking onsite charged at £90 per month.

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

They have a residents app for logging maintenance and you can track it until its resolved.

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

There is a near by scrap yard which during the week does make noise so I can imagine if you work from home this might be a issue.

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

Next to scrap yard is all encompassing. Loud and major environmental hazard. Bad chemical smell leaks into building. Always tailgating into the building.

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

Fixed the dishwasher in a few days of reporting the issue.

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

The scrap yard would be so impactful on everyday life. They conveniently made us view a flat overlooking the other side of the building so the scrap yard was not viewable during the viewing.

There is a local Tesco express and Coop near by which is handy and the building is only 5 minute walk from Cornbrook tram station that makes going into the city or mediaCity really easy. Pomona Wharf does have 2 parking lots, I have the gated parking for £100 per month which is cheaper than the local. The area is really quiet apart from sometimes hearing the nearby scrap yard but that's only during the week.

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

The building management have been really helpful in supporting my application process (mention to Andy for his help) and Alex as I said has been great.

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

If your going for a viewing ask to see the new furniture, I saw the old and was very happy to find the new furniture they supply.

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

Its really good area and it’s quiet compared to the city centre but still close enough that you can get into town easily. The tram stop is just a short walk away which makes commuting really straightforward, and there are plenty of supermarkets, food places and bars within walking distance. MediaCity and Salford Quays are nearby which is great for restaurants and walks by the water. The street itself is generally calm with very little traffic, and it doesn’t feel crowded. Parking can be a bit limited at times which is probably the biggest downside, but bin collection is reliable and it’s a well-kept area overall. Noise isn’t really an issue and any problems tend to be dealt with quickly.

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

Really well manager by the team who are onsite and Savills

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

I wish I had known about the near by scrap yard sometimes it can be loud.

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

Pomona Wharf is in a convenient spot between the city centre and MediaCity, with good transport links via the tram, bus routes and nearby main roads. Traffic can be busy at peak times due to nearby roads.

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

The management team are approachable and respond within a reasonable time. Maintenance issues are logged on a app properly and are usually resolved without needing to chase repeatedly.

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

I wish I’d known how tucked away and quiet the building actually is — despite being so close to main roads and the city, it feels surprisingly calm and private.
