I don't have a bad word to say about the local area in regards to Duet. Though there is currently a waiting list for the on-site parking, there is a large amount of other car-parking options nearby with reasonable prices and great accessibility. The bin collections are very straight forward, with a large amount of bin availability for the building. I haven't experienced any anti-social behaviour. There is minimal traffic noise despite being close to a busy area of Salford Quays. There are transport links (e.g. trams and buses) which stop right on the doorstep to the building. There are many local shops within working distance (closest being about 2-5mins away). Additionally, there is a wide range of social venues round the corner in the middle of Salford Quays. Access to Manchester city centre is also easy.

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

The concierge is very easy to contact and very fast at responding. The general management staff reply quickly to emails, and any maintenance on the building is communicated to us in a timely manner.

Maybe it would've been useful to be made aware of the concierge's role within the building. We have gathered that they are very helpful at referring us to the correct people, dealing with any deliveries etc., but in fact they are a lot more than that. The concierges are a lot more approachable than we first expected, and this is a credit to the landlord/company.
