I rented a 9th apartment floor at Regent Plaza, Salford, managed by Qube Residential for two and a half years, and left disappointed on almost every front. The building never lived up to what was promised. The lifts were perpetually out of order, which in a block of this height is not a minor inconvenience. The concierge service we were told to expect simply did not materialise. There was no proper parking provision despite this being part of the appeal when I moved in. Worst of all, building security was effectively non-existent, on numerous occasions unknown individuals gained access to the premises at night and left the communal areas littered with nitrous oxide (laughing gas) canisters. For a managed residential block, that is a serious failure of access control and tenant safety. Reported faults were routinely ignored. When things broke, getting any response was a battle, at one point we were left to live with a broken toilet seat that was simply never dealt with. The communal environment was consistently untidy and unkempt, which only added to the sense that the building was not being properly managed or maintained. To cap it off, the end-of-tenancy process was painful. After two and a half years I was hit with sizeable charges for redecoration and cleaning despite leaving the property in good order. In my view the standard of management throughout the tenancy did not come close to justifying the rent, let alone the exit charges. I would strongly advise against renting through Qube Residential. The gap between what is promised at the point of signing and what is actually delivered day to day is wide. This is a response to your comment Qube: Thank you for acknowledging that the building management was not up to standard; that admission speaks volumes, given it formed a large part of my review. I have to correct the record on the toilet seat. It was reported and never addressed during my tenancy, contrary to what is stated here. I'd welcome you producing the records you refer to, because my recollection,and my own evidence, is very different. The last message I got from Kane Glover on the 27th of February 2024 was: "I have sent this back over to the developers to have a look at this for you ASAP" after a log trail of messages which I commenced through email on the January 30, 2024 when I realized nothing gets done on fixlo even after months of complaining which started with power tripping off when I turn on the Towel rack (which was also never fixed) . You never addressed the toilet seat so where is the evidence that you 'made me aware' that the toilet seat will not be fixed . Just own up to the fact that you need to do better as a company and stop trying to cover up your imcompetence. I have all the evidence and records if you are ready to take this up. I'm glad I've left that place, I would advise anyone planning to rent from you guys to pay attention to the 1 star-ratings, Most of the issues I complained about is consistent with other users.
