Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The local area is an amazing area to live in. It is quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of city centre but is still a walkable distance if you want to go into town. They have a range of shops all around including the Tescos which are also a walkable distance. The only downside I would say is the hills which is a problem all over Birmingham but just makes it difficult to when coming back from travelling or moving. The transport is also easily accessible with a train and tram station right beside it as well as bus stops nearby.

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

Yes I was having issues with my router for the WiFi box and they were able to get it fixed as soon as possible.

One thing I wish I knew was how easily accessible this place was to the restaurants and to the amenities that they have outside of apartments. I do not have to walk far for any of these places

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

It’s super conveniently located it’s close to loads of shops and to town. The street is relatively quiet however there isn’t much parking within the building we’ve been waiting a few months to get a space and still haven’t and the free on street parking is limited and constantly occupied. The bin collections are pretty constant and rarely have issues with those. Everyone’s quite lovely in terms of other neighbours and staff and we have no complaints with people within the building however sometimes they smoke outside the building meaning the smoke can get into the flats but that’s human I guess. The open spaces are well maintained and stocked.

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

Yeah they’ve responded really quickly and tend to send someone around really quickly and reply to queries in person and via the form really quick

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The events are super cool but maybe like a broadcast/email could help? And the parking situation upfront would have been better and easier to manage expectations

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Location is spot on. Just far enough from the city to get away from the bustle but close enough that its just a short tram ride away. One thing that could be better is the availability of parking for residents. Being put on a long waiting list isnt ideal

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

They have been excellent in responding to my queries f2f. Could do better with email comms

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Maybe an appliance check would have been good. There seems to be an issue with my washing machine

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The property is well situated providing access to bus , train and tram in a safe location. It's also very close to Tesco superstore as well as Tesco express. There are 2 bars just nearby. And quite a few restaurants and bars around. The area is quite safe and slow near to the metropolitan university hospital. Free and safe parking is available just outside the property. Noise levels are not an issue , minimal antisocial behavior and traffic noise is almost non existent.

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

Quite fast and efficiently. They are quite good in their jobs and fast to solve matters if they arise and quite knowledgeable.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

There was no microwave, kitchen storage is limited and no shelves or drawers in the wardrobe
