X1 Developments Reviews 84

I live over two hours away from the site and wasn't able to visit during the build, but the team made everything really easy. They sent photos, updates, and even helped coordinate with my mortgage broker. Everything was organised and felt very professional. The finished product is better than I expected, and the letting process was taken care of entirely. I didn't have to lift a finger to get my first tenant in. Very impressed with the experience from start to finish.

As a cash huyer, I'm usually wary of off-plan property, but l was drawn to this seveloper based on their track record. The area had strong growth potential and good infrastructure improvements undewarway. What sold it for me was the alkear and detailed investment breakdown l received before reservind. There erwere no flashy promises-just data backed up their projections.

Now that the unit has completed, I can confidently say it's paid off. The value of the prorty has increased significantly since l first recerved it, and rental demand has been stronger than forecast. I've been able to raise the rent once already dueto demnd in the area.

The finish on the apartment is excellent, and l was pleased to see that what was marketed is exactly what l received-no corners cut. As an investor with a long-time outliik, l see this property being a strong performer for years to come.

Great investment experience overall. The process was smooth, the handover was on time, and the renta income has been consistent since day one. I've had no voids and the managing agents have been very responsive. Would definitely invest again.

I first contacted Sanjay Mistry, Senior Investment Consultant at X1 Developments, in January 2025 when I was exploring the possibility of investing. After a few months of discussions, I decided to purchase at X1 Trafford Waters in March.

The entire process of discussing the investment was smooth and straightforward. At no point did I feel pressured. Instead, Sanjay focused on providing me with the information I needed in a clear and professional way, which helped me make an informed decision that suited my investment criteria.

There was an issue with the first solicitor that was instructed on my behalf, and although the decision to move to another was outside of Sanjay’s control, he immediately took charge of the situation. He ensured the transition was managed properly and that everything was completed in a professional manner.

The new solicitors were more expensive than the original ones, but Sanjay even helped me negotiate a better rate, which I was very grateful for.

I have been very impressed by Sanjay’s professionalism and commitment throughout, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone considering an investment with X1 Developments.

I bought a one-bed in X1 The Campus with a view to long-term passive income. While inital returns were modest, the consistent tenant demand and low management hassle make it a solid asset. The build quality is good, and the development has a professional feel. Not the highest yielding unit in my portfolio, but certainly one of the most reliable.

X1 Manchester Waters has provided exactly what l was a fter steady, predictable returns. The rental income has been consistent, and the tenant turnover has been minimal. It's a great location with long-term appeal. If you're looking for stability, this is a strong option.

X1 Media City has exceeded expectations on multiple fronts. The location is outstanding. close to transport, shops, and MediaCityUK making it ideal for tenants. But what really impressed me was the quality of the final build. Unlike other developments I've seen, everything was completed to a high standard with no snags. That alone is worth recommending. I've had consistent rental income since day one and plan to hold long-term.

Bought into X1 The Plaza based on location and rental demand-and l wasn't disappointed. My unit let almost immediately, and the management team handled everything. I've had consistent income ever since and no hassle. It's a solid investment and I'm now looking into X1's upcoming Manchester developments.

bought my apartment at X1 Cheltenham Place with the support of Sanjay Mistry, Senior Investment Consultant at X1 Developments. From the beginning, Sanjay made the process straightforward and ensured I had the right information at every stage. Although I encountered some difficulties with the solicitors, he stepped in, managed the communication on my behalf, and kept everything on track. His ability to take ownership of these challenges gave me real reassurance.

Completion at Cheltenham Place was slightly delayed, but the development was successfully handed over in December 2024. Since then, I have been receiving my rental income exactly as agreed, which has reinforced the confidence I had in both the development and Sanjay’s guidance.

What makes Sanjay stand out is his personal approach. He is always available, takes the time to answer questions, and provides clear, professional advice. He does not simply act as a consultant; he genuinely cares about the outcome for his clients and ensures they feel supported throughout the process. This attention to detail has been invaluable to me. Over time, our regular conversations have also developed into a genuine friendship, which I did not expect when starting this investment journey.

Sanjay’s professionalism, reliability, and dedication have left a lasting impression. I am very grateful for the way he has supported me and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to invest with X1 Developments. He will guide you through the process with care and professionalism.

I bought a studio in X1 Cheltenham Place as my first investment and the process was much easiew than l expected. The team were responsive, and the property was rented within days of completion. Really happy with the return and would recommend them to others just atarting out.

I blive in Singapore and wanted to diversify into UK property. A frind recommended X1 Developments, and l purchased a unit in X1 Manchester Waters. From reservation through to tenant placemebt, the process was smooth and transparent. The management company handled everything effifiently, and the rentalyield is better than what I'd achieve locally. A great entry intoi the UK buy-to-let space.

X1 Media City stands out not just for location but for how well it's built. The attention to detail in the finishes, the communal areas, and even the landscaping far exceeded my expectations. It feels like a premium development and that's been reflected in the tenant demand. I'm very pleased with how the project turned out.

We were having a frustrating experience trying to deal directly with X1 Developments. We had already invested in two developments, Manchester Waters and Cheltenham Place, but when we tried to get updates or ask questions, we were met with silence. Our original sales contact stopped responding to our emails and calls, and we had no idea who to contact or how to obtain support. It felt like we had been completely left in the dark.

Out of desperation, we submitted a general enquiry on the X1 website, hoping someone would respond. That is how we were introduced to Sanjay Mistry, Senior Investment Consultant, and honestly, we are so glad we found him.

From the very first conversation, Sanjay took the time to really understand the problems we had been facing. He did not just listen. He took action. Even though none of the issues were originally his responsibility, he stepped in, followed up with the right people, and kept us informed every step of the way. We could tell right away that he actually cared, and that level of professionalism and dedication made all the difference.

We were so impressed with how Sanjay handled everything that we felt confident enough to invest in a third development, MediaCity, which we had never thought we would pursue, given the initial circumstances.

We have also referred friends to him, and he has taken great care of them, for which we are grateful.

If you are looking to buy with X1 Developments or have experienced issues with communication, as we did, we strongly recommend getting in touch with Sanjay. He is honest, dependable, and genuinely committed to looking after his clients.

We only wish we had been working with him from the very beginning.

As a first-time buyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with X1 Cheltenham Place. The process was incredibly smooth and the team helped me understand each step clearly. My apartment completed on time, and within a week I had a tenant secured. It’s now generating consistent rental income.

My 3rd investment with X1 and I’m delighted with the support and returns I have already achieved on my previous properties with X1. I highly recommend the company for over seas investors who want a full hands of investment in UK. Looking forward to working with X1 again in the future

Disastrous Experience with Manchester Waters (X1) – Avoid at All Costs**

My experience with Manchester Waters (via X1) has been nothing short of a nightmare. From the very beginning, the process was riddled with incompetence, delays, and outright dishonesty.

Initially, I was told the build would take **around 18 months**, but the project has faced **constant delays** with little to no transparency. The paperwork was a mess—I had to make **multiple corrections** myself because their documentation was so poorly handled. To make matters worse, the solicitors they recommended **went bust**, adding even more chaos to an already stressful situation.

Most infuriating of all, they’ve been holding **£75,000 of my money for over two years** with little progress to show for it. On multiple phone calls, I was given **misleading or outright false information**, leaving me feeling completely deceived.

Now, after seeing the **flood of negative reviews** online and hearing how few people are willing to work with them, I’m seriously concerned that I may **never get the property** I paid for. I regret not walking away sooner, and I strongly advise anyone considering Manchester Waters or X1 to **steer clear**—unless you want to risk your money and sanity
I’ve now demanded a **full refund**—but predictably, the process is like pulling teeth.
- **Will they reimburse my investment?** Still waiting, with no confidence in their willingness to act ethically.
- **Will they cover my legal fees?** If they had any decency, they would.

So this is an update, my solicitor contacted them with emails, stating the long stop date has expired, (they should pay me my money now) however they have not replied…

I’m delighted with my new investment as this is my first experience, X1 developers have been very helpful so far, I’m looking forward to get completed and start my investment income journey.

I have had a great experience with X1, they are polite, knowledgeable and very helpful - I would definitely recommend!

My experience with X1 is poor. I booked an apartment in X1 Michigan tower 1 in Sep 2022 with delivery in Q2 of 2023. I made a down payment of 35% around 94k. In August 2024 I visited the site and saw that no work was done on Tower 1 but some machinery was there for tower 2. There was no way they could complete by the longstop date of Dec 2024. I contacted the agent who sold the apartment to me and he said that they are not getting any communication back from X1 to their inquiry. I asked my solicitor to ask for refund, my solicitor received a generic letter with proposal of refund in installment with interest on the balance and to agree to another longstop date and if clients do not reach an agreement according to their proposal there is a significant risk that they will be forced into an insolvency situation??? Is this a threat? Very poor communication from the X1, I will never deal with the X1 in future.
