Nice place to live, if you can afford it.

the building itself is quite nice, with a gym, and a club room for residents to use. Property management has been ever more of a let down year upon year. They don't reach out to any of the residents unless they want to hike the price of rent / parking up.

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

great area to live with a short walk into the city centre. a few restaurants and bars open in the area. there are often young kids & opportunistic thieves which come into the car park and take phones off people walking in the area.

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

They have responded to the issues by advising that they proactively work on them but we have yet to see ANY evidence of the actions they have supposedly taken, yet they increase the costs despite not offering a proper service such as a working parking gate.

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

Which I had seen all areas of the building prior to moving in, such as the refuse area and green space as this is often in a state. (due to misuse of other residents/pets within the building)

Lived in Smiths Yard for 4 years. The building is lovely, the flats are perfectly designed for sharers. Property management is really good and problems are fixed quickly when reported. Facilities are good including secure bike storage and a club room.

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

Living in the middle of Ancoats you are surrounded by bars and cafes but the noise levels are still low. Not a lot of parking but supermarket and gym are in walking distance.

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

Building management responds to issues promptly and we are kept updated.

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

There are discounts for local businesses from living in the building

All around great flats

The design of the flats is great and they are well built, the soundproofing is excellent too which is really important to me m. Comes with fibre wi fi already and it’s really quick and Ecotricity on a smart meter already set up. Virtual viewings are handy too if you struggle to make it in person

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

The area is perfect - next to the canal and loads of great local restaurants and pubs about 10 minutes away

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

That’s my only criticism really, you do have to chase if you have maintenance issues. All staff on reception are really nice though

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

Fruit flies in the summer unfortunately, on the plus side though they are warm and I don’t ever need the heating on in winter

I love it, having everything you need in the building is fantastic. I feel safe all the time and so easy to get anything delivered and it won’t go missing either. The staff are always lovely as well and they get eveything done straight away. Would defy recommend it to anyone.

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

The area is just getting better and better, there’s more people around but it just gives off such a good vibe. Having the cafes and bars downstairs is just amazing too.

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

Really well, you put it on the app and they come and fix it within 24 hours.

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

Nothing really, it can get a little loud on a weekend but it is in the city centre and worth it
