The local area is an amazing area to live in. It is quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of city centre but is still a walkable distance if you want to go into town. They have a range of shops all around including the Tescos which are also a walkable distance. The only downside I would say is the hills which is a problem all over Birmingham but just makes it difficult to when coming back from travelling or moving. The transport is also easily accessible with a train and tram station right beside it as well as bus stops nearby.

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

Yes I was having issues with my router for the WiFi box and they were able to get it fixed as soon as possible.

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

One thing I wish I knew was how easily accessible this place was to the restaurants and to the amenities that they have outside of apartments. I do not have to walk far for any of these places

We have lots of places extremely close by that offer great food and an environment to have a good time. All of it, without making the neighbourhood noisy. The train station is literally stones throw from our building, and yet it’s peaceful and quiet here.

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

Exceptionally well. We have never had to wait more than the designated time to get issues resolved. And like I mentioned in my comments earlier, the front of house team alongside the maintenance teams, leave no stone unturned.

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

If you have a car, do check for parking and the availability of space with your apartment. There are limited spaces. However, we didn’t need to buy a car because the public transport links are all just a short walk away - and the city centre is itself a 5-8 minute walk away.

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

I would say it is quite close to bars and shops. It is not far from a place called green room which is in the city centre two or three little bars and restaurants in the little Square right infront of the flats there is also a Sainsbury’s and a Tesco express nearby which you had the can be on the expensive side but the convenience of them being there is quite nice obviously with it being on a main road busy times in the morning you could obviously hear the traffic coming through but it doesn’t last too long. I would also say the parking next to it. There’s no one on the street parking so if you’re wanting to just visit friends or family, it is quite expensive to park nearby.

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

All issues I have raised have been responded to there’s been nothing that I have said that hasn’t been acknowledged

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

It would’ve been helpful to know about them nearby parking I think when friends and families come to visit I wish it just wasn’t so expensive

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

Good aspects are that it has the wetlands at the back and there is a supermarket as well. No objections to the area but if I had to say something I would have to say that there is no highstreet. It is expensive to live here and might get more value for money if I lived closer to central London.

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

I haven't had any maintenance issues since living at Blackhorse Mills.

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

When I was shown the flat everything was clear on how it works - there isn't anything I didn't know that was relevant to me.

I’m still fairly new to the neighbourhood, but so far, I’m absolutely loving it! There are plenty of shops nearby, which makes everyday life incredibly convenient, and the train station is just a 3-minute walk away. Honestly, what more could you ask for? The windows in my apartment deserve their own five-star review — the soundproofing is fantastic! Once they’re closed, I can barely hear a thing from outside. It’s like having my own little peaceful bubble, even with everything happening nearby. The only real danger I’ve discovered so far? The bloody McDonald’s just around the corner, tempting me every single time I walk past. My willpower is already filing a formal complaint. I’m still exploring the area, but my first impressions have been brilliant. It’s convenient, well-connected, and surprisingly peaceful inside the apartment. So far, so good — and my only complaint is that the fries are far too close for comfort

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

Well, I accidentally put the management team to the ultimate test… at 4–5 AM. It had been a busy night! The battery in my apartment door lock decided to give up on life, leaving me locked out and questioning all my life choices. Thankfully, Peter and Taylor came to the rescue! They responded incredibly quickly, helped me get back inside and made sure the battery was replaced. Massive thanks to both of them for saving the night (or technically, the morning)!

Royal Mail Wandsworth Delivery Office. Opening hours? 8–10 AM. If Royal Mail doesn’t leave your parcel in the parcel room next to reception, you’rebasically screwed. BUT! On a much happier note, I had no idea so many young people lived here! There’s such a lovely, vibrant energy throughout the building. whether it’s in the lobby, workspace or gym. It genuinely makes the place feel alive! And here’s my favourite tip: if you fancy a pint but have nobody to go with, just head to one of the nearby pubs on your own! Chances are you’ll spot a familiar face from the building, and before you know it, you’re not drinking alone anymore. The parcels might be difficult to find, but good company certainly isn’t!
