Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Parking can be difficult sometimes as spaces get taken and during the week a solicitors near by have some of the spots and leave notes on cars parked there even if you live in the building
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
It took me 10 months to get a resolution to a complaint I had raised and there’s no store for the estate agent near by they are only based in Manchester
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Not being able to talk go property management face to face as they are based in Manchester and never come to the property and they don’t notify you when people are coming for viewings they just come in

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
City centre Amazing access to everything. Parking in the centre Cons: Management is difficult to get hold of. Rarely responds to emails Parking is shared with other companies so I don’t have a key fob and have to walk extra to get my car. Also anyone parks in my allocated space. When checking with Ocasa homes they, say tough luck. First come first serve so it isn’t their problem. No communal area Untidy front area
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Sadly not much. The only issue I have is the car park and it still isn’t resolved.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Car park is shared. Anyone can park there. Sometimes I don’t have space.
