Shops not many but enough for little things, some restaurants okay, bars few but nice. Open space small park near, good for walk. Bus and train near but sometimes late. Street quiet most time, parking hard when busy, bins come on time. No much trouble, little traffic noise only.

The staff in reception try their best. Peter and Moses have always been very friendly

wish I knew before moving how noisy it can be sometimes, especially from street traffic and people in flats above. Also parking is harder than I thought, need to plan for visitors.

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

Sherborne place is perfectly located in a quiet area of Birmingham city centre. We are a small young family and have access to green spaces, playgrounds and shops nearby. Sherborne is a peaceful and secure place to live and thrive. The parking is located underground for our convenience.

Always very efficiently, going above and beyond. Steve is the BEST!

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

I wish I had known how much I was gonna love the experience, moving houses it’s always stressful and a burden taking the joy of the actual experience but Sherborne place has made me feel I belong.

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

I’ve really enjoyed living here — it’s such a fantastic, high-end development, designed perfectly for professionals. I’ve been a resident for two years, and I’m now preparing to move abroad. Thanks Charlotte, Molly and Tayla’s help.

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

In general, the management team has been very kind and responsive — they’ve always dealt with my queries efficiently. However, the reception staff haven’t been quite as warm as I expected. Perhaps they’re under a lot of pressure, but they often appear expressionless, sometimes even impatient, or they keep me waiting for quite a while. That’s the only part of my experience here that’s felt a little uncomfortable.

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

That’s a very good question. Before moving in, I was genuinely excited about living here — especially because the staff member who showed me around was so friendly and welcoming. However, after moving in, I found that the reception team weren’t quite as warm as I had expected. The contrast was quite noticeable.
