Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
We love our house location and the size and rooms are just about right for us at the moment. We have recently experienced quite a few issues with the house such as leaks, broken locks and some broken equipment. Once a ticket is raised we can usually expect help within a couple of days, however it can take longer for them to order in what is needed to fix the issue.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes the isssues do get a response within a few days and then repairs are normally done within 1-2 weeks
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That the back door is not made to deal with the heat as it keeps breaking due to things expanding / shrinking
Manager response
Thanks so much for the honest review, Niall! Really glad to hear the house size and location at Welsh Streets are working well for you, and that the water pressure and heating have been solid, plus a nice bonus staying cool in the heat. Sorry to hear about the issues you've raised, we know waiting on parts can be frustrating. Thanks for the heads up on the back door struggling with heat expansion, that's really useful for the team to look into if they aren't already doing so. Glad tickets are getting a response within a few days, and thanks so much for recommending us!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I chose the area because it closeness to prayer buildings, supermarkets, schools, etc. and all of them are reachable within 5-10 minutes walk. The area is clean, the surroundings are maintained regularly. Things that I might not keen are mouse infestation and littered dog and cat poops.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They always respond my query within 48 hours, give a solution and dispatch the worker in a week time (mostly).
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
We had our due diligent before choosing the place and the unexpected one was the increasing rent on yearly basis.
Manager response

We're pleased to hear that, despite some challenges when you first moved in, you feel the team has been responsive and proactive in resolving issues and improving your home. It's also great to know that you value the area's convenient location and the regular upkeep of the neighbourhood. We appreciate your feedback and are grateful for your recommendation.

Pretty good flat in a very good location.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is very good, it's only a 15 minute walk to Sefton park and Lark Lane, and a 10 minute bus ride to the city center. Parking is reasonably plentiful. Bin collections are always on time. I've had no issues with antisocial behaviour that i wouldn't expect from Toxteth
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
It's sometimes taken some time for issues to be fixed, but they do get sorted eventually
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It can be noisy with the windows open, due to the road being busy, but you get used to it quickly
Manager response
Thank you for your review, Kieran. We're pleased to hear you're enjoying your home and the convenience of the location. We appreciate your feedback and are glad that any issues raised have been resolved. Thank you for recommending Placefirst.
