Incredible city living it’s the place to be.

I absolutely love the design and facilities, I work from home most days and the residents lounge and the galley is as good as any office I’ve worked in. The interior design is just amazing, such a feel good environment.

The management team are just lovely so welcoming every morning and love to fuss my dog which is nice, I don’t know everyone’s name even though they remember mine which makes us feel nice, Lynsey from house keeping in West Tower is very lovely always smiling and happy to chat and fuss the dog and keeps those cushions in perfect alignment.. the fine details 👌🏼 All in all an amazing place to be and I don’t see myself moving anytime soon.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Perfect for shopping as the General Store is literally downstairs, 5 min walk to deansgate so everything is on my doorstep really including tram.

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

None that I can think of. Everything is perfect for us.

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

Yes. Immediately repaired the washing machine and battery fobs on front door within 24 hours of asking.

Very badly designed, how can modern building be designed without any consideration for disabled persons. I was shocked when offices advised was no disabled parking bays. The office staff never ever respond. Never suffered such bad service.
The front of house is better than the back office.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Been advised by the office that there is no disabled parking provision for the development this is not acceptable.

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

I have adopted child who is disabled, and had assumed there would have been some disabled parking offered on site, but have been advised by the office that no disabled parking provision has been made at the development which is shocking to consider the development is very newly built, and surprised that building could be designed in such a manner.

Had I known I wouldn’t have let the flat.

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

It’s pointless raising any issues with the office staff as they will never respond. They have not informed me about my internet. The Tv antennas don’t work in the bedrooms and this has been reported for 5 days.

Started well, standards dropped as time went on.

Review Date Apr 2023

A typical day might involve walking through puddles of dog piss to get into the building, stepping over more puddles in the lift to be greeted with an apartment that stinks of weed from a neighbour.

The windows were probably cleaned twice in 4 years and to a poor standard.

To add insult to injury, I moved out over two weeks ago and still haven’t recieved my deposit back from the management.

Citing a lack of staff resources as the reasons for delay is an appropriate response for the cost cutting nature of this management company.

As much as I enjoyed the early years of living here, I’m glad to be out as it’s in poor hands.

The exception to this is the front of house team who were consistently polite, friendly and helpful throughout my time here. The issue is with the management company.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

I lived here with my wife for almost 4 years. We had a kid here and she spent the first year of her life there. I love the building and the space.

But the management are useless. Towards the end of my tenancy the building became more and more dilapidated and standards dropped everywhere.

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

That the management company would be willing to let things slip so much.

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

Mostly provided just excuses not answers to problems.

The buildings are stunning and always very well cleaned. The facilities are second to none and the residents all work to keep it clean. The management company are always incredibly helpful, particularly Karolina, who gave us our first viewing and supported us perfectly through to move in.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The area is a short walk from the city centre which has everything you could possibly need; the management company always have recommendations and advice if you new to the area.

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

The management company brief you quite well so I didn’t feel I missed anything.

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

Any issues have been resolved within a few days and always well communicated.

Review Date Mar 2023

The development offers everything you need, and beyond, it’s finished to the highest standards and with the state of the art gym, the luxury spa, restaurants, cafés and shops it really feels like a dream home. The management is always on site and ready to help whenever needed.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Living in Deansgate Square really is the pinnacle of urban living. The area is bursting with restaurants, cafés, shops, clubs and bars. The tram stop and the train station are just a stone’s throw away. Overall, it’s a very safe area, kept clean and with the bonus of being next to the gorgeous canals of Castlefield.

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

Try and get a north facing flat, as during summer It can get really hot.

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

The staff has always been very helpful – credit to Yasmina for always being extremely professional and responding to my queries and requests in a promptly
manner.

Great HouseKeeping

Review Date Mar 2023

Love the development, and the level of HouseKeeping, especially for Lyndsey (West Tower).. always working tirelessly hard to ensure a clean tidy foyer.
The staff of the desk are always friendly and happy to help.
Lastly, the design and facilities are great.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Nothing of much concern, the traffic noise is relatively quite, bun chute work most of the time.. the lifts however can be problematic at times.

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

No hidden surprises when moving in, everything was as expected and clearly explained.

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

No real problems, only having problems with the monthly direct debit. Hope the can be resolved soon.

Ryan, thank you so much for your review! It is much appreciated.

With a live site unfortunately we do from time to time enter issues with the bin chutes and lifts but we work closely with our third party contractor to ensure they are never out of action for too long.

Regarding any issues with direct debits, do not hesitate to reach out to us on; hello@theresidencesmanchester.com where one of the team will be more than happy to help.

The property itself is well-maintained and has all the amenities one could ask for. The spacious living room and cozy bedrooms are perfect for relaxation. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances and storage space.

Georgios has been incredibly helpful and responsive and attentive to any needs I may have. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my experience at West Tower and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to call home.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

I recently moved into this beautiful residential property and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The location is perfect, with easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment options. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, providing a serene atmosphere to come home to after a long day.

The conceirge Yousef is the best member of staff I have met

Review Date Jan 2023

The management is very poor. They won’t let anyone move in & have raised prices to let people move out. They only want specific people in their buildings which is discriminatory. I took me so much time to get them to let me move in and whenever I emailed them I would get a late response. A lot of other friends have also struggled to get an apartment.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The conceirge Yousef is the best member of staff I have met. I know him now for a few years and since I moved in he has been the most helpful and professional. Its so nice to always see him at the desk and have a chat because he is so nice. He knows everything about the buildings and has helped me with ever issue I have, more than the management. I trust him the most out of all staff because he is very professional and honest. Such a good gentle men. He deserves being part of my review.

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

Wish I knew the management didn’t care about anyone.

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

They are somewhat okay in responding. Sometimes quite slow. Other times very fast and effecient.

Darl, thank you for your review, although it not a positive one. For people to rent with us we have a set policy and guidance which applies to all, this is not discriminatory toward anyone and in terms of price increases, we operate a steady state increase within our towers.

Unfortunately our availability is very low at present and this is a reflection of the current market, we do advise people to act quickly when apartments come up.

If you do have further issues or would like to discuss anything highlighted above, please email myself at hello@theresidencesmanchester.com
