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

We have been living here for 5 years now, signed up for another one, so is clear that we do love this building :) The location is impecable. Since grainger took the building, things have improved considerably and I think we have to thank Hag for that. He is always there to fix whatever needs to be fixing, always a nice welcome and pleasant. Thanks!

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

Yes, all of them and also to the changes I wanted to make in the apartment, impecable.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

We did have a moth issue for a while but has been now controlled thanks to Hag and his efforts to improve the building.

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

Access to the town centre is a massive perk of living here. Everything is on our doorstop. The only downside would be that it can get quite noisy

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

Problems have been sorted efficiently and without too much hassle at all

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish we knew we had to pay a separate hot water bill

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

The local area is incredibly convenient for travel into manchester if you work in the ciry centre. Most offices are within walking distance. Transport links are very good. Little to no anti-social behaviour on the street. The local area is arguably the best in the city for bars and restaurants with lots of options in app price ranges. Traffic is quite loud next to a busy main thoroughfare but good quality windows block most of the noise out.

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

The building management have always acted swiftly on any issues raised and where an immediate fix is not available, they have been clear and communicative about how and when this will be fixed. There is a regular maintenance day scheduled so we know at most an issue will be fixed within a week.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

That there are lots of great independent businesses nearby that are good quality and a great place to spend time.

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

The flat is in the perfect location surrounded by lots of cafes and shops. It is extremely convenient for connections to Manchester Piccadilly without being too close that it is noisy. There is no parking availability which would be useful, even if it was just a drop off point for loading. No traffic noise from our point in the building.

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

The property management team always respond to any issues quickly and provide a solution.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I had known how friendly the whole team is within the building.

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

The building’s location is excellent — it’s very close to the City Centre, as well as the train station and the Metrolink station.

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

The building is well managed. They responded promptly.
