A Guide to Living in Birmingham

Please review your development:

I have had the most pleasant experience with the management and concierge team (Habiba, Kishor, Abdul, Paul, Gabriella, and Kirsty). They are super friendly and accommodating indeed. The property also has a nice gym in the ground floor with cables, smith machine, weights and cardio.

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

The fridge is a bit small. This is the only drawback.

What is the best feature of your home:

What really stands out is the Concierge and Management.

Please review your development:

Design is great and the management is fantastic. It’s a choice location which offers proximity to major places in Birmingham. The property is well managed, and the staff are helpful especially when needed. The facilities are also functional and well maintained.

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

I wish I knew about the car park arrangement.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

Car park. The car park arrangement is not well spelt out in the contract.

The building itself is very nicely appointed inside, the apartments are beautifully designed for living with the furniture options creating a comfortable and modern look. General storage space is a little limited and the under-counter fridges offer very limited cold storage, but you do get used to planning meals around the space you have. The bathrooms and showers are absolutely stunning with excellent storage for toiletries in the large bathroom cabinet.

One of the biggest attractions to Aston Place though, and what makes it great value, despite being more expensive compared to similar sized properties in the locality, is the on site team, the building is always clean and tidy, the maintenance team are very helpful and friendly and get any issues resolved in record time and the smiles from the team on the front desk are always a welcome sight, at any time of day.

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

Don’t be afraid to ask the team for help or advice, they’re so friendly and helpful!

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

I had almost no issues at Aston Place, I did have a faulty oven and hob near the start of my tenancy, but both were replaced within a few hours of reporting the issue, you can’t expect better than that!

Please review your development:

As a single person living in the city with a busy lifestyle, I found a lot of comfort in the modern design and easy accessibility to maintenance should anything go wrong.

I was quite happy with the kitchen and the dishwasher, high quality furniture. I stayed at Aston Place for a year and a half and I had an amazing experience with the friendly staff and the sleek design of the apartments.

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

I don’t think the pictures did the flat justice!

What is the best feature of your home:

Location – easy access, easy travel, lively but not loud
Staff – friendly, prompt responses, on top of everything, organised, excellent management
Safety – As a doctor working shifts, I felt very safe coming back at late hours
