Duet MediaCityUK, M50

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

The local area is fantastic. Duet is a stones throw from Media City, where there is always events being organized, especially in the summer months. There are many restaurants and bars within walking distance also. The local area is very safe and secure, with great transport links to the City.

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

Excellently. We only had one issue in our time here. Once raised, it was solved within 3 days.

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

The Duet car park is expensive due to its size with cheaper, and secure car parking options available nearby. The front desk at Duet are happy to recommend alternative options.

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

Duet is in a fantastic location, extremely close to MediaCityUK, sandwiched between two tram stops and a few surrounding bus stops, to allow for easy public transport access. The surrounding area also consists of local bars and cafes, and as mentioned above, is situated near MediaCityUK, which itself contains the Lowry shopping centre, multiple bars and restaurants, the Lowry theatre, and the Virgin Active gym. Traffic noise is minimal, and there is the occasional bit of noise/anti social behaviour in the surrounding area, mainly people setting off fireworks and riding around on bikes and Lime scooters, but this is probably typical of city living.

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

We have had the odd issue within the apartments during our time there, nothing major however. Duet have always been prompt on issue resolution and all issues were remedied.

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

This development does come with managed WiFi through Glide. I would say 99% of the time it is extremely good, and very good value for money. However with it being managed through another company, it can be a little frustrating and tricky to resolve issues when they arise (albeit infrequently).

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

Great access to Media City as well as tram link located directly outside the apartment offering quick and easy access to Manchester and the rest of the Bee network. Salford Quays is a lovely area and mostly quiet and relaxed

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

Always promptly and efficiently - nothing but positive experiences

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

I don't drive but my partner does, when she visits it can be tough to find parking in and around the area without travelling a little bit further out from the Quays - on Match days (Man Utd) this is even harder

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

Amazing location, so convenient to get into the City Centre but also a great variety of shops and places to eat in Media City UK.

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

Very quickly and efficiently, always there within 24 hours of the issue.

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

I wish I knew more about the buildings app and all the different things they have on there, such as forums and social events.

We’ve lived here a year now and I can say it’s my favourite place so far that I’ve lived with my fiancé. Right on the doorstep to media city and the quays outlet/bars. Plenty of places to eat out and have a drink with friends! Very pet friendly too. Our little dog settled here immediately!

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

Very fast to respond to any issues no matter what it is.

Nothing that I can think of! The initial viewing was very informative!
