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.

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

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

The area is quiet and peaceful, which is one of the best things about living here. There are cafés and supermarkets within a 5–10-minute walk, as well as a small supermarket just two minutes away, making everyday shopping very convenient. There is also a lovely park about two minutes away, a canal around a seven-minute walk away, and a nearby children’s play area. The main downside for me is the commute to university. I need to take two buses, and the journey takes around 35 minutes in total, which can be tiring and inconvenient. Overall, though, the positives I’ve mentioned outweigh this downside and make the area a pleasant place to live.

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

The building management has responded quickly and efficiently to any issues I have raised. The reception team is helpful and attentive, and problems are dealt with promptly without unnecessary delays. I’m very happy with the service. I would especially like to thank Melissa at reception for being so helpful and supportive.

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

I wish I had checked the commute to university more carefully before moving in, as it requires two buses and takes around 35 minutes in total. I would recommend that new residents try their usual journey before deciding. On the positive side, I’ve really appreciated how quiet the area is and how quickly the building management responds to problems—things that are difficult to judge during a viewing.
