Moving In - Middlewood Locks Residents

When you move in, we'll email you some helpful advice including appliance manuals to help you get settled into your new home and ensure you have guidance on how to use the internal appliances. 

Find some further helpful information here dedicated to Middlewood Lock residents.

Utility Bills

You will need to set up accounts for electricity, water, council tax, broadband, and gas once you've moved into your new home. When your tenancy has started, we will have sent you a Move-In Inventory Report containing the initial meter readings and the Meter Serial Number (also known as MSN) and you will need to set up accounts with your chosen providers independently. 

• Electricity: Use this link to find the current supplier information to open an account or shop around to find the best rate/deals. You are welcome to change electricity providers
• Gas: Middlewood Locks is on a central gas boiler system designed to be cost-effective for all residents and offers live meter readings (large black box in utility room above washing machine) You can set up a new account with Ista via this link 
• Water: Your water supply is provided by United Utilities. 
• Internet: Your apartment is already equipped with a Hyperoptic router in the utility cupboard. If you are happy with this provider simply activate the service via this link. 
• Council Tax: You need to tell Salford City Council that you are living at the property, even if you are a student. You may be entitled to Council Tax Discount or exemption if you are a single tenant, or your household has a mixture of students and working professionals. 

How to get up-to-date meter readings for your apartment 

• Electricity: The electric meter for your apartment is in a locked meter room, to gain up to date readings please email estate.team@savillscsp.onmicrosoft.com with information on your building name and apartment number so they can offer you the information
• Gas: The gas meter is in your utility cupboard (large black box in the utility room above the washing machine) click through the screen menu to find your readings at any time
• Water: The water meter is in your utility cupboard

TIP: If you know someone who is already on Hyperoptic, ask them to refer you and you both may receive signing bonuses!

TIP: We suggest performing an energy comparison search to find the best rates/deals for your electricity or internet – this has the potential to save you a lot of money! Unfortunately you cannot change suppliers for Gas. 

Parking at Middlewood Locks

If you have paid for parking with your tenancy, we will assign a parking space for you to use. This space is dedicated to your vehicle and we will need your license plate details so Middlewood Locks can update the ANPR system which is a camera that reads your license plate as you enter the underground or surface car park - reach out to us to check your parking space bay location and #.

Access to the underground parking garage is under Forge building with access just off Rolling Street via black gates to the right-hand side, access to the surface car park is just off Lockside Lane to the right-hand side. 

For general use parking, there is availability for up to 2 hours parking permit for an outdoor parking bay for visitor parking; to gain access please contact Estate Management on 07955853970 and book a time slot as it is based on a first come first serve basis - however if you are using the space to move in our out we're sure they'll be very accommodating.

If you would like to request parking at Middlewood Locks feel free to email us at hello@beecityliving.co.uk and we'll see if we have any availability! 

Cycle Storage at Middlewood Locks

Secure cycle storage has been provided to all residents and the bike store can be found on the ground floor of Charcoal building or in the underground car park of Forge/Bellows. You can use your electronic key fob to gain access. Bicycles are stored at your own risk and should be fitted with a secure lock and appropriately insured against theft. 

Security at Middlewood Locks

There is onsite security who can be contacted on 07955853970; please only use this in emergencies relating to on-site security. Do remember that on-site security does not work for Bee City Living and all issues relating to your tenancy should come to us.

Refuse disposal at Middlewood Locks

Each building will have a communal bin room access for residents on either the ground floor or basement level. All waste should be tied securely in appropriate bin liners and the appropriate bin should be used for general waste or recycling. 

Ventilation in your apartment

A Vent-Axia Sentinel Kinetic Plus ventilation with heat recovery system has been fitted in your apartment. This system works by constantly bringing fresh air and removing old, stale air, whilst retaining up to 90% of the heat. The fan automatically goes into boost mode when a bathroom light is switched on or if the boost switch in the kitchen is turned on. 

This system should not be turned off in any circumstances as it helps prevent condensation buildup from occurring which if turned off will create a build of mildew and mould damage to the property.
