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

Honestly hard to find any faults with the area - perfect location close enough to the city but far enough away - Lots of shops, tram stop right outside & only a couple minute walk to media city for nice food and bars. Parking available and as it’s off the road nice and quiet

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

I’m lucky in the fact that I’ve had very minimal issues in over a year but I had a toilet seat fixed within the day and I have locked myself out a few times which was quickly rectified.

I think you underestimate just how easy it is to get around the city from this location and also how easy it is to have pets here with the quays on your doorstep

Lovely area with good proximity to the city centre with easy transport routes such as the tram and buses. The quays make a lovely walk in the evening and there is always something going on around :)

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

very quick to resolve any queries as all you have to do is contact the management through the app to log a ticket with Hannah the building maintenance lady :)

Very pleased with the life here at Clay. I just wish my one bed flat had a balcony ;)

This place was great to stay and the location is perfect. I love the quiet location but being right next to media city.

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

Could be better but since the new management company took over this has got a lot better and I am sure 5 stars can be achieved going forward. There were some minor issues but this was before the new management.

This was such an easy experience than other places for me as there was no competition and I wasn't bidding against other renters which showed the landlord / agent was ethical, unlike the places I saw before this.

Great amenities and transport links, unfortunately they’ve just started repair work on the Metro for a few weeks so can’t get into the city centre , however there is a bus replacement service.

Meg, Hannah and the rest of the team are super efficient and nothing is too much trouble.

I would suggest that any potential tenant should come and view Clay as I’m positive once they do, they would not consider anything else. It has so many nice little touches for instance the honesty shop which you can buy all your essentials.

Only area for development was the parking. This was available however but just meant having to walk a little. Building is super quiet and peaceful.
