I’ve been living at upperbanks for about 2 months now and I’m extremely satisfied and happy about my decision to rent in this place. The community here is always so welcoming and friendly either you’re a tenant or just a visitor, there’s always some event going on at the weekends like movie nights and other fitness activities too. Love all the facilities provided here, there’s no traffic noise and everything is available right next to you from clothes shopping, grocery and health care products as you are living in the town centre. There’s no hassle for the bin collection as all your garbage goes in the bin room where there are all types of bins already there. Will totally recommend everyone for this place.

The good thing that I found out after coming here was all the friendly events that take place every weekend or after every two weeks. It makes you get know your neighbours well and be friends with them.

Very close to the centre of Rochdale close to shops, bars, restaurants so everything is within 5 mins walk from the development yet it is still quiet at night

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

Quickly for the things that could be done in house but the ventilation contractor repair is taking a long time.

Not really connected to living in the apartments but more to parking g and having a vehicle as car insurance very expensive due to using a public car park now gone up nearly double to when it was on private driveway and paying monthly for car parking adds to this. All other things are positive related to minimal noise between Appartments really and feels very comfortable. Maybe supporting tenants in setting up apps for heaters and anything else would be good even though I managed ok

The location is perfect, you’ve got supermarkets, restaurants, cinema, transport links all on your door step. Parking is no issue - it’s right across the way, there’s no noise from traffic at all.

Our water supply to the washing machine hadn’t been turned on for some reason and our radiators squeaked a bit. Front desk staff noticed it on our key handover and immediately mentioned they will ask maintenance to have a look. Within 24 hours it was sorted.

It’s a brilliant place to live, I didn’t realise how much of a well knit community it was or I would’ve moved in sooner.
