Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The building is in the city centre, so it is very convenient and close to many facilities. There are plenty of shops, cafés, restaurants, and bars within walking distance, ranging from independents to well-known chains. The Bullring and Grand Central are also nearby, offering a wide choice of shopping. In addition, the area has excellent transport links, with frequent buses and trains from New Street Station that make commuting easy. Overall, it’s a comfortable, safe and pleasant place to live in city centre.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management is very responsive, and the property management team provides clear communication and support whenever needed. Thanks to their efforts, the development feels well cared for and offers an excellent balance of convenience, comfort, and quality of life. A special thank you to Karrie, who went above and beyond to assist us throughout the process of renting our flat. Her professionalism, patience, and friendly approach made everything much easier and far less stressful. We are also very grateful to the maintenance team, who were quick, helpful, and efficient in resolving issues. Overall, the entire team has made our experience smooth and positive, and we truly appreciate their excellent service.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing especially as i think the team provided all necessary information before my move in

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It’s a very nice location with plenty of choices in food to choose from in a central location of Birmingham. There’s good transportation all round but sometimes can be heavy with a lot of traffic around rush hour. There’s a lot of bars and such in the area so be aware of noise on weekends
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very well and very professional all round. The management have always been excellent
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There’s no parks or anything like that in the area if you like going for walks or have a dog.
Manager response
Thank you Amar - we really value your feedback. Great to know that you have had a positive experience at The Mercian. I wonder if you have found Edgbaston Reservoir or Cannon Hill Park to take your dog for a walk, both lovely...We really appreciate your time. THANK YOU

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Birmingham’s Broad Street is lively and full of great places to eat, drink, and enjoy a night out. There are lots of restaurants, bars, and clubs, plus nearby canals for a nice walk. It’s a fun, friendly area with plenty to do and a great atmosphere. There’s good transport but parking spaces are limited
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Managers are very nice. Rob and Molly are always very professional and always helpful. Moses and Peter on the night team are the nicest guys and always willing to help with anything.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There's very limited parking spaces here and Tennant street on the back of the building isn’t free
Manager response
Thank you so much N.! We really appreciate your feedback.
