Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Being so close to the city centre, yet far enough away that you can’t hear it. Our neighbours are amazing, and the staff are brilliant. The bin room used to get a bit smelly. The parcel room is sometimes disorganised.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building now has new management but never had any dealings.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That we could have been happier here than at the place we were before.
Manager response
Hi Tsuro Thanks for your lovely review, the team & I really appreciate it.

Very quickly, efficiently, and without any complaints.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
We live on a private street which is off a busy main road. There is underground parking and parking next door. It is very quiet.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We have never met the management to speak to although we see her around the building.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
We spent a long time during the viewing asking lots of questions which were all answered.
Manager response
Hi Layan Thank you for your review, the team & I really appreciate it. Next time you see me around the building come say hello, I'd love to meet you.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I don’t have anything bad at to say my whole experience from the moment I enquired to now has been positive.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I have not had any issues. I have seen a few people complaining about parking spaces in our group chat, but I’m sure this has been resolved.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
You not only get a beautiful place to live with great amenities, but there are also resident only events, yoga sessions, and more. The team are great and always on the ball. Calvin, Sian,Amrit and Scott are always on hand to answer any queries.
Manager response
Hi Kunal Thanks for your lovely review, its great to hear that you are making use of the gym & enjoying the events.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Aldi is directly opposite and conveniently open until 10pm on weekdays. Picturesque Cannon Hill Park is also within walking distance. Vibrant Moseley is only a short bus ride away. Birmingham City Centre is also conveniently a short bus ride away. Their is a Pure Gym directly downstairs attached to the building. Edgbaston Cricket Stadium is directly opposite. The local travel links are excellent!!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
You report all problems on an App and they are dealt with in a realistic timescale, generally within a day, with no issues.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I advise to look at several apartments because the view varies. I have two cats and I wanted to be situated over the main road so they have something to look at.
