Lovely building within close distance of the northern quarter and ancoats and many fun venues and amenities. Even though it’s on a busy road the apartments are quiet and cozy.

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

Promptly and thoroughly. Even when a solution couldn’t be reached (like when we inquired about adding a gate on the ground floor property) at least the issue was raised and discussed

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

If you are moving on a ground floor you might have to deal with passerby’s loitering on the steps or the occasional intoxicated person on a weekend but it’s overall a safe area and building.

The local area has a great mix of shops, cafés and restaurants within walking distance. Transport links are excellent—tram and train services are close by, and buses are frequent. The street is generally quiet, though parking can be limited and bins sometimes overflow. I’ve not noticed much anti-social behaviour, and traffic noise is minimal.

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

Building management has been reasonably responsive, especially with the help of the concierge team who are approachable and often act as a good first point of contact.

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

Bins can fill up quickly and aren’t always emptied on time. It’s also worth knowing that soundproofing between apartments is decent but not perfect some noise carries from adjacent units.

It would have been good to have some more information on how to set up bills as this has been a bit of a headache - however, we understand that this is not down to the management team and more the previous tenant
