Could always be worse

Rob S (Tenant)

Moorland's Green, M6

Apr 2025

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

Close enough to Salford shopping centre. Recent development has added some fairly trashy and loud neighbours. Bin men are as horrible as to be expected from Salford and they make you pay when someone steals your bin. Transport's excellent though.

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

Had to wait literal months for a shower to be fixed. No updates, no contact, nothing.

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

Would've been lovely to know that the road I moved in wasn't on any maps at the time, really messed with deliveries, but it's not relevant anymore.

Comfortable Living

Daniel (Tenant)

Moorland's Green, M6

Apr 2025

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

The area is quite convenient with a decent range of local shops, takeaways, and supermarkets nearby, including a Lidl and an Aldi within walking distance. There are also some good parks like Buile Hill Park which offer nice green space for walks and relaxation. Public transport is generally reliable, with frequent buses to Manchester city centre and surrounding areas. However, during peak times, buses can get crowded and traffic on major roads like Eccles Old Road can be slow. The street itself is usually quiet. Bin collections are regular. Overall, it’s a fairly convenient place to live with good transport links and access to essential services.

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

They respond accordingly to issues when reported, usually within a reasonable timeframe.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that the house wasn’t freshly painted and we would to manage that ourselves.

Super quickly: you can really see that Emma and Ben are doing extra miles in this

A Pleasant Living Experience

Jack E (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Chapel Wharf, M3

Apr 2025

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

Everything is within walking distance, including public transport (trams are 10-15 minutes, Salford central is 5 minutes and bus stops to most places are within 5 minutes walk) and town (NQ, barbers, food spots, Ancoats, Aldi, Lidl), Asda across the road for emergency snack runs. Not a lot of noise, residents are respectful, generally a happy place to live. Gym is good,

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

Always supportive, willing to listen and help. Helped me move flats within the development and heard my concerns.

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

None, all was made clear and communicated. Perhaps the annual rent increase on contracts would be a useful thing to consider (or consider doing away with).
