A guide to living in Salford

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

I was new to the area when i was moving in here and knew nothing about it. The local restaurants and bars are now some of my favorite i have ever been to, which were recommended by Dan, part of the Eda team. Transport is very good with the tram stop right outside with links to the city. Living in this area i feel very safe at all times.

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

Any minor issues that i mentioned within the apartment itself has been dealt with quickly through the help of Dan.

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

The area in itself is a great place to live as someone who works in the city centre. Quiet enough to go home to but parts are busy enough in the evening for food and drink if I want to go somewhere. Transport links are really good for getting in and out of the city. Grocery shops near by for small bits and pieces. Only issue is parking for visitors if people come and see me can be expensive.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that parking can become quite limited during peak hours, so it’s worth planning ahead if you have a car. Also, while the area is generally quiet, there can be occasional noise during busy times, but it’s not a major issue. On the positive side, I didn’t realise how convenient the transport links and nearby amenities would be—they make everyday life much easier. Overall, it’s a great place to live, but these small insights help set expectations.

Great location in Salford Quays, with a Co-op supermarket nearby and tram stop for trams into Manchester city centre on the doorstep. Quiet waterside location, with pleasant walks around the area. Multi-storey car parking available next door.

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

I was given an incorrect figure for the apportionment of rent due for a part month at the beginning of our tenancy, but subsequently billed for an unexplained amount, which was actually the correct apportionment. I queried this with the building management and the charge was withdrawn because the initial error in calculating the part-month apportionment was theirs.

No doorbell for individual apartments for visitors to use and no means of letting visitors into the building without going down and opening the front door after they have alerted you by phone.
