Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Local shops near by and lots of bars and restaurants, it's perfectly central. Ideal place to live in birmingham . Not too loud considering we're right on borad street and parking is available outside (not included with rent)
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Always really helpful Issues are sorted out quickly and efficiently.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Would have been nice to have more details on parking but this is minor

The apartment is in a great location, with two supermarkets downstairs offering great convenience, and it's very close to the tram station.

The building management has generally responded to issues in a timely manner when contacted, but the effectiveness and consistency of follow-up actions could be improved.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Compared to other apartments in Birmingham, what are its advantages, and why is its price higher than others?

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The local area around Moda Living in Loud and Yard is vibrant and convenient. There is a good range of shops, restaurants, and bars nearby offering a variety of cuisines and convenient everyday essentials. Green spaces and open areas are within easy reach, giving residents opportunities to relax and enjoy a bit of city-living with outdoor breathing room.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management at Moda has always responded to any problems or issues I raised quickly and professionally. Whenever something needed attention, they communicated clearly, provided updates, and made sure everything was resolved in a timely way. I always felt listened to and supported, and their proactive approach made living here much more comfortable.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One thing I wish I had known before moving in is just how active and community-focused Moda really is. You don’t fully realise this from a viewing — the events, the social spaces, and how easy it is to meet neighbours make a big difference to daily life in a really positive way. I’d also recommend new residents take full advantage of the amenities early on, because they genuinely add to the living experience. Overall, it’s a place that feels much more vibrant and connected than you expect from a quick tour.
