5This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. lovely community
The rooms are all single studios which is ideal for me and my cat. The fridge and especially the freezer are bit small and I wish I had an oven :( but otherwise the rooms are very nice and they come furnished which was ideal for me as I moved from overseas. My dad complains about the water pressure when he visits but I think it's fine. Laundry is a bit expensive and there are only two washers and two dryers so at certain times it can be hard to get your laundry done. I can't download the app due to my phone settings but you can reserve them in advance on there (so I hear). As for management they are very responsive when you need maintenance and always very friendly and nice. They put a lot of effort into events and parties for the residents and keeping the building clean. I used to live on the 9th floor and during the summer the room would get very very hot to the extent that my cat was experiencing heat stress, so please bear in mind if you have pets that there is no air con and depending on the location of your room it may get unbearably hot for them. I moved to the first floor and bought a portable air con unit and that solved the problem. All in all I love living in the James because of the community of lovely people there and the staff that works to make it a nice place to live!
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is great, it's right in the city centre and you're close to anywhere you could possibly want to go in Liverpool. You're right on top of Liverpool One, there are a million bars and restaurants nearby, M&S and Tesco are right around the corner. It is across the street from a bus stop and a train station so I can get from my apartment to my classes at UoL in about 15 minutes by bus. You're also super close to the docks and I love talking walks by the river.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They usually respond within a day or so. You can just submit a maintenance request on the app which makes it easy.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Temperature in the summer can get very very very hot and fans are not enough so you may need to invest in an air con unit especially on the higher floors and in rooms facing southeast (away from the street). The events and parties are very fun and you should definitely go even if you don't know anyone because everyone is welcome!

5This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Loved my little flat at The James 💚
I honestly loved my little flat at The James. It was so cosy and I always loved coming home to it. Chloe and Ellie on reception were both so fab. I’d come in to say hi and end up staying for a little chat with them, which I’m really going to miss! I’d 100% recommend The James. If I ever end up back in Liverpool, I’d live there again 💚
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location was honestly ideal. You’re right in town so you can walk pretty much everywhere. Liverpool ONE, loads of places to eat and drink and the waterfront are all a short walk away. James Street station is right there too, which is handy if you’re going further out.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Chloe and Ellie were both so easy to speak to. When I asked about my deposit, they explained when it would be processed and what I needed to look out for. It was all really straightforward.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I don’t think I realised how much I’d love being able to walk pretty much everywhere. You’re right in town, but the waterfront’s only a few minutes away too. It’s such a fab spot to live.

This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. A good place to live
The building is modern and it is really looked after by Chloe and Ellie and the community is what makes it the best place to live in Liverpool. The apartments are good sized except the kitchen which wasn't designed practically and doesn't have enough space to cook or store things.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is absolutely best with transport links just outside the door and Tesco, Sainsbury, and M&S just around the corner. It's just 2 minutes walk to the shopping centre and to amazing restaurants and bars.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have been very prompt about it however there is nobody on reception over the weekends or after 6pm to collect your parcels or help you in case you are locked out of your room.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The building is as it's presented. The staff are good, the community is good, the events are amazing and it's wonderful and peaceful living here.

I have had a good experience living at The James Liverpool. The building is in a convenient location, with shops and supermarkets nearby, and it is easy to get around Liverpool. The accommodation is comfortable and has the facilities I need as a student. The building is generally clean and well maintained, and the staff are helpful when I have a question. Overall, it has been a suitable place to live while studying.

An excellent place to stay with all amenities available. The location is close to everything—the city center and many supermarkets are very nearby.

Everything is excellent I haven’t needed to ask about anything beforehand.

The building sits in a location with great public transport connections and all the best bars and restaurants downtown within walking distance.

They’ve been handling it promptly and professionally.
