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

Parking is a very big issue. I wish parking was included within the rental price, the only options are underground parking which is currently an 8-12 week wait alternatively you need to apply for an annual permit.

The area in which this outstanding development is located is without a doubt the one reason why you should move here tomorrow. The Whitmore Collection is perfectly positioned in the heart of the city of Birmingham, the Jewellery Quarter. This area is vibrant, young and stunning. I’m in love with the marvellous water canals, with the countless choices of restaurants and bars as well as the modern and immaculate architecture. Everything is within walking distance, including the enchanted Brindleyplace, which is exactly what I wanted.

At risk of sounding like a broken record, I'm going to once again praise the neighbourhood. Safe, full of amenities, lively and clean. In short, extraordinarily charming.

What is the best feature of your home:

I genuinely didn't expect the development to be located in such a strategically extraordinary area. There is an infinite amount of amenities within walking distance. My absolute favourite has to be the enviable canals.

Mustard Wharf is in the perfect location! Close to the train station for travel and visitors without being noisy! Granary wharf right next to us has a great range of bars and restaurants that I regularly go to with friends. Walks down the canal are great as I have a frenchie so great to have a nice walk on my doorstep! Tesco express is just a 10 minute walk for any shopping I may need to get. Feels like I have everything on my doorstep living here! The whole area feels very safe and living on my own that is most important!

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

Green Spaces • Home to lovely parks like Hilly Fields, Ladywell Fields, and Blackheath, providing a lot of outdoor space for walking, running, and relaxing. • Greenwich Park and Horniman Gardens are also nearby. 3.

Crime and Safety Concerns • While many areas are safe, crime rates in parts of Lewisham are higher than average for London. • Some residents express concerns about antisocial behaviour or petty crime, especially at night. 2. Overcrowding and Congestion • Public transport, especially during peak hours, can be very crowded. • Road congestion is also an issue in some parts. 3. Pockets of Deprivation • Some parts of Lewisham still experience economic deprivation, which can impact public services and the general feel of those areas. • The contrast between regenerated and less-developed areas can be stark. 4.
