Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is great - only a short walk into the city centre and the immediate local area has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years. Lots of great spots to eat and drink.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
All issues we’ve had have been dealt with swiftly. Replacement furnishings were always provided within a day or two when needed.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Developments that have gone up around the area have increased density - it’s not as quiet as it used to be but that’s not really any fault of Slate Yard.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Close to Aviva Studios and Spinningfields. Nice waterfront walk and views. There is nice landscaping between the buildings which is nice to relax and chill.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Issues with oven on move in day but this was our fault as we forgot to put the switch on. Maintenance arrived very quickly and sorted this out.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There’s not as much social activities as our previous building had.
Manager response
Hi Adam, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoy living at The Slate Yard. It’s great to hear that you feel our apartments are homely, even though we may not be brand new. 😊 We echo your comments regarding our location. I’m very lucky to have an office overlooking the waterfront, and we love the local coffee shops and our proximity to Spinningfields too. We are currently reviewing our events programme, and you may have noticed some recent surveys that have been shared with residents. These are helping us gather feedback and better understand the types of events and activities our residents would enjoy. Please do feel free to drop me an email at helen.bowers@theslateyard.com with any suggestions or ideas for events you would like to see more of. We’d love to hear your thoughts! Thank you once again for your kind comments, and we hope you continue to enjoy your time with us. Best wishes, Helen

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The Slate Yard is both in an extremely central and convenient location but the area feels quiet and private. In the location on Stanley Street just off the main road. Parking is limited but expected being so central.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Our maintenance queries have always been resolved.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That the balcony feels so much bigger than it looks from the outside.
Manager response
Hi Grace We hope you are doing well. What a lovely review to read. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. 😊 I’m so pleased to hear that the team are making a positive impact, and I’ll be sure to share your lovely comments with the rest of the team. We echo your comments regarding our location. We love how peaceful it is here, while still being just a stone’s throw from Spinningfields. Thank you once again for your kind comments, and we hope you continue to enjoy your time with us. Best wishes, Helen

Hi Ed, We hope you are doing well. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. 😊 It’s great to hear that you love our amenity spaces, and we echo your comments regarding our location. We love the local cafés and coffee shops too! I’m also very sorry to hear about your experience regarding emails and general administration response times. Whilst we are currently experiencing peak season and the team’s workload has naturally increased, we always do our best to respond to residents within 24-48 hours. Our team are also readily available at reception to answer any urgent queries where possible. There may be occasions when our Front of House team don’t have the answer to a query immediately; however, they will always liaise with the relevant department and come back to you with the best possible update. So that I can understand your experience in more detail and review this further, please kindly share your feedback with me via email at helen.bowers@theslateyard.com. This will allow me to investigate what happened and identify whether there is any additional training or support we can put in place to further empower our team members. Thank you once again for your kind comments and for sharing your feedback with us. We hope you continue to enjoy your time with us. Best wishes, Helen

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. Train station, tram stops and bus links within walking distance making easy access for travel. Situated in a quiet area right on the edge of the centre meaning you have the best of both worlds. Car park located just over the road.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
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.
Manager response
Hi Anton, What a wonderful review to read! Thank you so much for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback about your experience at The Slate Yard. 😊 We’re absolutely delighted to hear how much you’re enjoying your home and that you feel The Slate Yard is a place you can call home. We’re always looking for ways to make life a little easier and more enjoyable for our residents, so it’s lovely to know our shared amenity spaces, spacious apartments, location, and services are making a positive difference. It’s great that the non-smoking policy has also helped you cut down on smoking! Most importantly, thank you for your wonderful comments about our team. We take great pride in creating a friendly, welcoming, and helpful community, so hearing that this has been your experience really means a lot. I’ll be sure to share your kind words with the whole team. Thank you once again for your lovely review and Best wishes, Helen
