Soho Yard, Sheffield, S3

Nice design and friendly people but not functional living - lots of issues. Fine for short term

Design looks nice and communal spaces are great but management is poor and convoluted when there are serious issues. The front desk / concierge staff are really nice and helpful but the management of issues is terrible- an example is hot water went out for days and no one is taking responsibility for it. Lifts break all the time and windows / balcony doors break all the time with poor system to track and correct issues (our window was not fixed for 6+ months) and have heard others have had problems with doors, vents, holes in walls etc. Fine for 6 month - 12 month stays but I’d be wary of longer term commitments especially if your patience levels aren’t good!! Pros include nice modern apartments, good sized bedrooms and nice bathrooms, appliances are nice, there is a nice WhatsApp group with residents and the place is generally very clean. Finally regarding bills wifi comes included but people in anchor house noted very slow times (I believe this is being resolved now) but the big thing is that energy supplier they use is callers Homebox and their billing is AWFUL - no transparency, charging some people 3x what they charge others and no regular updated billing so you have no idea if you are spending lots or little. They have also said it takes 3 months to close the account

Anco & Co Review

The design for Anco & Co is fantastic, especially in our new flat. The downstairs area is so nice and cosy and the roof terrace gives you a great view of Ancoats and into Manchester! The staff are always so helpful and chatty. They really make an effort with the events they put on for residents which makes a big difference! Shoutout to Elly & Adam who helped us with our moves in to our properties it means a lot!

Beautiful apartments with the best team!

The development is gorgeous with great facilities. All the apartments are set out beautifully and we've never had a problem that isn't fixed straight away. Although the flats have a new build vibe they are also full of character which I think a lot of newer apartments lack. We have recently moved to a different apartment within the same block as we love it here so much but were looking for a little more space. The team are absolutely incredible here and made the whole process as quick and smooth as possible- I can't praise them enough (shout out to Adam and Elly!!) Every single person that works here is approachable and helpful, and having lived in multiple complexes in Manchester, they are easily the best team!

My New Home!

Love it! It’s got a nice vibe as soon as you enter and the front desk staff are so friendly, Kali is just brilliant!! The management team are always so helpful. I’ll try and remember everyone: Jason helped me with some furniture building, Saskia showed me around and Laurie helped me move in. Leona has been and conducted the usual checks expected with a rental flat and she was so friendly, it’s great knowing there’s a team of people that are actually approachable!!

Superb residential building

The building is an excellent place to live, the apartments are thoughtfully designed and furnished to a high standard. The facilities are great and the management team is lovely. It’s been an absolute pleasure to reside at Elliot’s Yard! It’s the perfect place for young families or working professionals.
