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

Bins constantly overflowing and dirty nappies attract rats. Majority of residents are moving out now due to the huge price increases and leaks in the lobby and communal areas. No one stays for more than a year so high turnover.

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

Building isn’t safe and lots of criminal activity.

What is the best feature of your home:

Penthouse has a nice view but other flats just have views of the leaking sewage

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

There’s lots of homeless people in the area and it’s generally a sketchy area. They often break in and inject themselves, sleep in the corridors, make noise at night. Empty gas canisters around the development. Good thing is when you move in it looks okay and modern. But everything breaks down after a few months and you’d be lucky if it gets fixed. Only thing they fix is your heating because you don’t have to pay rent if it isn’t fixed. But I’ve had leaks and mould growing in my apartment and the landlord, property manager and estate agents don’t care.

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

I wish I knew how little everyone cared about the accommodation. If they cared, they’d have been security added immediately. The offsite security constantly changed the code without notifying tenants immediately about new codes. So they don’t come onsite even if there’s an incident when you don’t know the code

What is the best feature of your home:

Close to the station. But is that worth your safety?

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

Location is great for hospitality, local transport links and there's even a supermarket less than a ten mins walk away

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

There is no building management!! Repairs and damages are continually reported but nothing is done. Currently two Luftwaffe broken, one being out of service for almost 12 months.

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

The amount of air bnb and booking.com rentals in the building. As it's a nightmare for noise, mess and disrespectful guests. I've had to call the police twice due to anti social behaviour

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

Central location for hospitality, range of bars and restaurants. Great for transport and also supermarkets. There is also 2 gyms, cinemas and a bowling alley.

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

The building management do not respond to reports of faults and damage. Lifts don’t work, lights are out, carpet is missing and even front door was left broken open for at least 6 months.

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

The high volume of bad neighbours and how expensive they are to heat. Really wouldn’t recommend

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

Really great for public transport, with bus rail and tram pretty much on the doorstep. Around a 15 min walk to the bullring. Lots of bars and resturant's again in walking distance. Supermarket around 5mins away

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

Repairs repeatedly ignored and left unsafe for tenants such as front access door unable to close. Lifts broken. Also rubbish and damage left by air bnb guests, who often dump takeaways and even vomit in corridors

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

How unsafe I would feel as I wouldn't have purchased
