A guide to living in West Midlands

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Everything i wanted is just a stone throw from the Estate; local shops, restaurants, pubs, train station, medical practice, etc and it is a walkable distance to my wife's work. I have a a good place to park my vehicle and an extra space for my visitors to use whenever they visit. As for the bin collectors, they come every week to collect my bin and that's awesome. Overall, the estate is so calm and good for me and my family.

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

I had only one issue which is fixing my curtains and immediately I reached out to the building management, the issue was resolved ASAP.

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

I wish I knew about this Estate when I first came to Telford, I wouldn't have tried another apartment. I would have moved in right away. I pray to buy this house as time goes on. I really love this place!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

There are many corner shops and convenience stores in the area and a larger supermarket is only a 20 minute walk away so very handy. Transport links are good with new street station relatively close by and a bus stop just outside of the building. Parking is not great being permit only and no guest parking is available on site which makes guest visiting difficult. The street is not the cleanest and is not the most amazing area but the building itself is lovely and feels very safe.

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

We have not needed to raise any issues but when we moved in all questions were answered and maintenance requests are dealt with in a timely manner.

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

I wish I had known there is no guest parking available. It says guest parking on the ila app so would have been nice to know this is not available here.

Love living at the Pioneers. It is in a great location, my daughter’s school is within walking distance and restaurants and convenient store also within walking distance.

You can always call Lynn, she explains the correct procedure and helps you quotes along through the portal.

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

It would be great to have covered parking bays. There is enough space between the houses to add covered bays, helps in winter when it is raining.

The location is perfect. There’s a tram stop right by the building. A convenience store right outside. It’s off new street so there’re a bunch of restaurants & food spots around. It’s also close to the bullring & new street station

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

I haven’t really had any problems or issues. But the manager, Ahmad, always responds even when he’s off the clock. I’ve called him at 11pm to sort something out & it was sorted by morning

I wish I had come for a viewing before moving in. I would’ve chosen a room with a better view.
