Bendix Street, Manchester

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

The local area is great. Easy access to downtown bars and food options in Cutting Room Square. Oldham Road is loud and the fire station nearby means sirens at all hours (although they try to reduce their noise at night). The bin room seems poorly designed making it difficult to get to bins in back, there aren't enough bins, and they get don't get emptied often enough

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

Any issue raised with the maintenance staff have been sorted quickly. Issues raised with the rest of the building management have been often take days to weeks to resolve. They often seem overwhelmed by all that is happening in the building

We’ve really enjoyed living at Bendix. The apartments are modern, clean and well maintained, and the shared terrace is a great addition, it’s a nice space to relax and enjoy when the weather is good. The resident events are also a lovely touch and make it easy to meet other people living in the building. The location is another big plus, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, making everyday life really convenient.

The noise ain’t great but it’s city centre living I suppose, shops are fine etc. Would be nice to have like a vending machine or something for communal spaces.

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

Yeah generally fine, but I was gaslighted once by a repair man who said my window wasn’t supposed to fully open, only to have the next repairman say it should and it was simply a building defect.

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

The window scrapes my ceiling and causes damage, I really wish these things were checked before listing and fixed before we moved in.
