A Guide to Living in Birmingham

What you may not like though is the noise and busy streets. Parking especially if you have visitors coming to you can be very difficult.

Please review your development:

The development is designed and operated to maximum efficiency. I like the picturesque view from my window of Edgbaston greens and beyond. Everything is designed to keep temperature within optimum through autumn and winter months. Fire systems are optimum. Entrances are functioning to optimum security. 24/7 concierge and management support makes life easy in the Lansdowne. Also good community areas … occasional activities …

What you may not like could be the limited parking areas available to residents and visitors. There are no electric car chargers in the development and no plans to install any either in the near future as we have been told.

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

One thing which I observed is people who are living with pets. When they come to play area in the snookers room or cultural mix coming with their pet, I saw so many dogs hairs in the chair, sofa and snooker table. Because it is not good for health and tenants can avoid coming to these areas with pets.

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

I personally love this apartment bcz its not a very big or very small apartment. Perfectly
desinged and compact for all ages.
Coming to communal area especially the green space, play room, gym, cultural mix. Perfect space for our free time to sit and relax.

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

If we raise any complaints they are taking the action immediately and fixing the asap.

The building is a very attractive design with modern interior throughout the public areas. Despite the modern design the areas definitely have a warm and homely feel where it really makes you feel comfortable. There are three public kitchens which are often used. They are well stocked and with modern appliances, including a very fancy coffee tap in the main lobby kitchen.

The apartments them selves are also well equipped with modern appliances. The ceramics in the bathroom are not the best quality and the toilets have plastic toilet lids. I would have also included ethernet access points in the bedrooms as this is quite awkward. Especially as I use the second bedroom as an office. Plug access however, is plentiful, with plugs at every point you would need it.

The main issue i noticed as soon as i moved in was the garbage disposal system wasn’t very efficient. All of the bins provided were full and because of that people have started just leaving their rubbish on the floor in mounds, making it quite difficult to dispose of rubbish. I want to just say tho that it is a completely closed rubbish building, no ugly sights of rubbish everywhere from the outsides. The main grounds of the building are well kept.

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

The shower pressure is powerful with always hot water. The kitchen sink water pressure isn’t too strong however. The wifi is often not as fast as advertised.

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

We are yet to raise any issues however the process of maintenance is incredibly easy. Simply using an app to book it.

Please review your development:

the development is nice and modern, the design is good and the gym is excellent (three pelotons, good weights, though a cable machine would be good). Front desk are friendly and Vince was great in the process of renting. Wifi is a bit patchy . a bit challenging for deliveries as intercom doesn’t work. App quite helpful

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