Vox, M15

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

Living in the area has been really convenient. Having a Co‑op right downstairs is incredibly handy, and there’s also a Tesco within walking distance, which makes day to day shopping easy. Being so close to Trafford is also a big advantage, especially on match days when transport and crowds can get busy, the proximity makes everything much more manageable. Overall, the neighbourhood feels practical and well connected.

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

The front desk team is always really attentive and supportive, and it’s incredibly helpful having an in‑house maintenance team who can respond quickly whenever an issue comes up. Any problems I’ve raised have been dealt with efficiently and with good communication.

I wish I had known that the terrace area isn’t accessible 24 hours a day. I’m sure it was mentioned at some point, but during a group viewing it’s easy for details like that to get missed. It would have been helpful to know in advance, especially for planning how often I’d use the space.

Vox is situated right next to Cornbrook Station, so it's really easy to get anywhere! It's only a couple of minutes ride into the city centre, or about 20mins to Didsbury or Chorlton where there are loads of lovely local shops, cafes and restaurants. On nice days, it's a lovely walk into town along the canal, and there is a great pub at the locks where you can sit outside. The actual area outside the door doesn't have much going on, but easy access to supermarkets and really easy to get on the motorway for trips further afield.

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

As you'd expect from a big corporation really. There's no personal relationship and everything is done as per procedure.

How many fireworks go off, not just at bonfire night. The apartments are well soundproofed, so I don't really hear them, but they terrify my dog. They are set off every night from the end of August right through to November, and got really bad between Diwali and Bonfire night.

Sadly, there is a crowd of homeless people who all chill around Vox and sometimes even come into the building to get a free coffee. Drug users dotted around the building

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

Awful customer service. For example, our freezer completely broke and thawed over, and when we asked for help, we were told to “pour boiling water on it” … health and safety risk, no?

Staff are money over people , really miserable vibes

Area is really good in terms of access to local shops and most importantly the tram stop. I always feel safe walking in the area, even at night.

No issues so far but I know it’s very easy to contact maintenance through the app
