Living at Laurance Place you have very easy and quick commutes to amazing places, such as the 1 minute walk to the luxury restaurant at City Suites and a Sainsbury across the road for your everyday household items. In terms of transport links, you have a few bus stops around the corner and a tram stop, which can take you all around Greater Manchester. I hardly can hear the traffic from my apartment, but sometimes there are noisy people passing by that can be a disturbance to what I am doing at the current moment.

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

The building management have responded to all problems and issues that me and my roommate have had.

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

Great location for city living, easy access to wherever you want to go. Easy to get to bars, restaurants, shops etc. Not too far from some parks just outside of the centre. Parking isn't very good if you want free parking, there is none and also isn't any for guests etc. Bin collection is good but there is no recycling apart from cardboard which is surprising for such a modern development. The communal areas are great but often get very busy with people that aren't residents but are just using the coffee shop. For city centre it is very quiet at night. The building generally is great, modern lovely flats, quiet and extremely safe.

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

Very quickly and promptly, they are friendly team, which is great

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

That the coffee shop is very overpriced and no discount for residents which is a shame!

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

Super close to the main city centre. Very quiet considering how close it is so perfect if you work in the city centre.

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

Yes, they respond to any noise complaints very quickly and notify you when any parcels come.

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

The estate agent didn’t know about the parking situation when unpacking but once I arrived the staff and building management showed me.

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

The location of my building is ideal for going into city centre to shop. There is the sainburys just around the corner making it an ideal place to shop if you are feeling lazy.

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

The building responds really fast to any issues such as not knowing how to connect the heater to you phone or set the water boiler.

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

Being about to save money on energy costs with the timer on the boiler.
