Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Excellent location!!! Aldi is directly opposite for convenient shopping, Cannon Hill Park is a short distance away as is the vibrant Moseley village. Transport links to Birmingham City Centre are close by. Being pet friendly is a huge bonus for me.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Efficiently. There is a an App to log any maintenance issues and they are ALWAYS dealt with in a quick manner.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing of note. I did my homework before I moved in as I was familiar with the area.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It is close to the city center, so it gives easy access to shops, restaurants and gym. It also close to the New street station so it was easy to commute there when needed.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Communication is easy with them, through the app, emails or talking directly to them. Issues are often resolved promptly.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The building location is in a lively central area so I would recommend it for someone who enjoys that, rather than quieter spaces.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is very convenient, with the train station within easy walking distance and plenty of restaurants, cafés and other amenities nearby. There are also some great gyms in the area. I always felt comfortable living here and found it very easy to get around Birmingham.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The management team were always responsive and willing to help whenever I had a question or issue. Communication was easy, and the staff were friendly and practical in helping to find solutions.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known before moving in just how approachable and helpful the onsite team would be — it would have saved me a lot of unnecessary worries. If anything breaks, you can simply report it through the app and the maintenance team will arrange to fix it. Parcels are handled really well, and the team always responds promptly whenever you need help. I genuinely had a great experience living here, from the maintenance team to the management team, especially Mohammed and Paul. If any of my friends were moving to Birmingham, I would definitely recommend this place.
