How to scale issues to people inside of Slate Yard so we can get responses

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

Close to shops for everyday essentials and a short walk away from Spinningfields and Deansgate for all your bars and restaurants.

Car park located just over the road.

dealt with quickly and professionally. The team is always approachable, responsive, and proactive, ensuring that any concerns are resolved promptly with minimal disruption. It’s reassuring to know that help is always available whenever it’s needed.

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

One thing I wish I’d known before moving in is that smoking isn’t permitted on the balconies, and residents need to use the designated smoking areas away from the building. It took a little getting used to at first, but in all honesty, it’s had a positive impact and has helped me cut down and work towards quitting smoking altogether.
