The Astley, M1

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

The location is pretty good with Piccadilly station being about 10 mins walk. Resident lounge is open from 7 am to 11 pm.

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

The radio silence by them is ridiculous, and you get tired from the upfront attitude of doing the least they can.

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

How unbothered the management is with faults and changes they make are one directional. They decide on what is emergency entry - door key not working properly took them days to get someone but once someone was there they thought it was an emergency from that point to not give notice. If it was an emergency, they should have brought the contractor within 24 hours? Hypocrisy.
