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

I personally think that it is a great area as I like that it is 10 minutes away from the city centre via the tram or 10 minutes away from media city via the tram. Perfect for me. The complex is on Trafford Road however, which is a very busy road with vehicles including lorries and buses. Therefore, it’s very loud even with the windows open as there is a constant sound of engines plus regularly sirens from emergency vehicles.

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

We have complained many times, but they always send back a diplomatic carefully worded response suggesting we discuss our concerns further in person. It feels like they do not listen and try to suggest talking in person as they think we are scared to. I am not scared to I just can’t be bothered to waste my time talking to someone who will not listen

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

Be careful of the annual rental increases. Yearly, ours has gone up by £250 since moving in. Plus £125 pcm for parking. It’s also hard to get a parking space as there’s a wait for spots.

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

Lovely bar, coffee shop and barbers below the building with wonderful staff. Tram and bus stop across the street making travelling easy. Traffic noise can be loud especially facing towards the road and can get loud and busy outside on match days due to being in close proximity to old Trafford.

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

Any issues are responded to fast and resolved quickly.

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

Proximity to great places like media city! I had no idea how close by it was. Prior warning about football noise and traffic would also have been valuable but would not have changed our decision to rent here.
