I love living near Kelham Island, and with the location of the apartment building it's not far from the city centre either. It's far enough way to feel more residential but not too far that you can't walk to the centre. Kelham has plenty to offer and the area is pretty safe and comfortable. Plenty of parking nearby. You can hear the traffic but it's not disturbing, if windows are closed it's quiet. Overall it's a nice area to live in, I've lived around Kelham for 4 years and it's the best area I've lived in.

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

The team are very supporting, helpful and are prompt with getting things sorted for you!

Just a clearer process really, the application process was clear but then things faltered slightly. The main things were not been told that if you select the traditional deposit option it just refers back to the Soho Yard team, and that the deposit would be due 5 working days before tenancy start date. As well as getting the tenancy agreement 5 working days before move in as well. But other than that, everything else has been quite clear, gym, concierge, bin store, mail room, bills etc. And the team are very friendly, welcoming and available to help :)

I wish the James would advertise more all the great events they host. It would definitely be a factor for me to move in.
