Amazing, we already love living here so much. Not only are the stuff so welcoming and are happy to help with anything but also the communication with the management couldn’t be better. The amenities are also amazing!!! The view of the city is absolutely gorgeous during the day and night

Hairpin House is a beautiful building with even more beautiful apartments and many relaxation areas, like roof gardens, communal areas with kitchen facilities, and one of the best coffee machines you'll find. If looking for 1 or 2 bedroom apartments. This is for you

I have been living here for a couple of weeks now and I have no faults at all. The apartment is lovely and completed to a high standard. All of the staff are lovely and have made me feel welcome. The communal areas are brilliant, perfect for working remotely or socialising. The complex is secure with someone on reception 24/7.

Me and my partner are now into our second year here and we love it! From the events on offer, the luxury modern apartments and the rooftop terraces, we love it! So does our Puppy, he settled down straight away and loves making dog friends around the building! It’s a community! The team are always on hand to help out so any problems just ask! So happy to call this place home!

Restriction after restriction. It feels more like a workplace than a home for residents. No entry to the communal garden room after 8 seems a little harsh when people finish work at 5/6pm and take a long time to commute home, so can't even enjoy its amenities. Now they've decided to charge people £2 for the use of the coffee machine which seems to have misled us when we signed the tennancy as it was a unique selling point exclusive to residents. The reason was due to the "cost of milk and maintenance" Surely the rent prices the 300+ residents are paying would more than than cover this? Alot of us residents are not happy.

Multiples ‘advantages’ taken away and you had to start paying for and even though we were paying £100 extra per month for parking they said we were not paying as their system is not good at all. This ended up going to court and having to pay even more money to clear this up. Bad management Rent also went up unexpectedly

Although I haven’t lived here, I have experienced the building and it has great views of the city from the terrace’s, however I have a few Friends that lived here and management had made their experience horrible overtime by making false promises and being very rude. It’s a shame a nice building like this gone to waste, was a great location too, not too far from city centre!

Having lived at Hairpin House for a few weeks now, I couldn’t be happier with it! The staff have been so attentive, and the maintenance team sorted a problem with my shower within 2 hours of me flagging the issue. The roof gardens and communal areas are beautiful too! Would highly recommend.

My experience having lived here for over 4 months has been very pleasant, the professionalism and attention to detail has been exemplary. The staff respond to queries very quickly and very helpful and most times go above and beyond the call of duty in resolving issues.

Clean and modern flats with some great communal spaces in the building. The area is up and coming, with a bunch of cool bars and eateries on the doorstep. Only 15 minutes to walk in to the city and to the train stations. A special mention for the management who have been exceptionally responsive and helpful!

Amazing flats with lovely communal areas. Excellent management that are very responsive and quick to take action. Only note of improvement would be to reduce the restrictions in place, but besides that, it’s a great place.
