Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location of the building is ideal. It is perfectly situated upon the five ways roundabout which is very convenient for working individuals who have to travel outside of Birmingham for work. There is also a large Morrisons right across the road which makes grocery shopping incredibly convenient. The area is extremely well connected to broad Street, other coffee shops and restaurants. There is no deficiency of activities in the nearby area and the building is also right next to the large Odeon cinema.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building is incredibly prompt in responding to Maintenance issues or any queries. A month ago, I had put far too many clothes to hang on my closet bar, and it came down. That morning I reported the issue, and that afternoon, Maintenance came around to fix the issue. They were wonderful and it was absolutely free of cost.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I really wish I had known how good the experience would be moving in to the Lansdowne. I did not choose to move to Birmingham initially but had to due to work and the hospital that I was placed at. I wish I knew about the Lansdowne much earlier on which would’ve removed much of the anxiety. I initially felt moving into this unknown city. The experience has been wonderful so far, and I generally feel taken care of at this building and by the management.
Manager's response5Hi Dhriti, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that The Lansdowne has made such a positive impact on your experience in Birmingham. Creating a welcoming community is something we work hard to achieve, so it's wonderful to know you've felt supported by both the team and your fellow residents. Your kind words about Augustina will mean a lot to her, and we'll be sure to pass them on. Thank you again for your recommendation and for being such a valued part of our community. We wish you continued happiness at The Lansdowne!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Really great location, you've got the bus, tram, and train all right outside, as well as a big Morrisons and a range of different shops/restaurants/bars. Despite being just off the roundabout, the windows keep out all the traffic noise. There's the option for an underground parking space if you drive, and a bin storage which is kept clean and emptied regularly!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
All maintenance requests have been responded to promptly and any issues solved
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Definitely go to as many events as possible, you'll meet some wonderful people and have a lot of fun!
Manager's response5Hi Rae, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you're enjoying the community feel of the building and making the most of the social spaces, events, and amenities. Your kind words about Augustina will certainly be passed on, and we're pleased to know our team has been able to assist you and respond promptly whenever needed. It's great to hear that you've found the location and facilities so convenient, and we love your advice about getting involved in events to meet fellow residents. Thank you again for your recommendation and for being such a valued member of the community!

I wish i knew that the building next doors garbage sometimes is left outside on the street which is not a pleasant sight to see and it flies around when it gets windy.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Recently moved up from Wales for work, and couldn't have found a better place to live for someone new to the city. The building has a bus and a tram stop outside, or is only a 15 minute walk, for going into the city center. There's a supermarket opposite and a cinema behind. It's on the border of Edgbaston Village, which has some high end bars and restaurants.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Problems or issues are dealt with immediately. Issues are raised via an app and are resolved by the time I get home from work the next day. A report of any work is logged on the app. Extremely efficient.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Relocating to Birmingham couldn't have gone better because of how convenient everything is when living here. The accessibility, security, culture and support here has been fantastic.
Manager's response5Thank you, Marcus, for such a thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that The Lansdowne has helped make your move to Birmingham such a positive experience. It's fantastic to know you've been enjoying the community, facilities, and resident events, and that our team—especially Augustina and the concierge team—has helped you feel welcome. We're also pleased that our maintenance process and resident app have made resolving issues quick and straightforward. We really appreciate your feedback about EV charging and will take it on board as we continue to improve. Thank you again for your recommendation, and we look forward to continuing to make The Lansdowne a great place to call home.
