About SevenCapital

The property management is good and I felt safe and well looked after had any issues occurred.

There is a small communal space but it isn’t very big – nice bike racks and plenty of parking space.

It’s nice and secure with the fobs and corridors always kept nice and clean.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

I like that it’s so close to Digbeth which has a lot going on and is really up and coming. The only downside is being far from big supermarkets but that’s more of a city centre issue I guess.

The area by our flat (cheapside) however is quite dirty and there isn’t much.

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

Storage space very limited and not a lot of room in the kitchen for preparing food at all. Much more suited to a singular person rather than two.

What is the best feature of your home:

Being in Digbeth and close to pubs such as Spotted Dog and the Old Crown

Management

The parking doors are not controlled though and many people who is not resident leave their cars or people without allocated parking which is a downside.

Management is efficient but limited hours, if i were to have an emergency with a meter, the meter room is locked and if an engineer were to come it would be a bit of an inconvenience.

But overall its highly recommended and i am satisfied for now.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

It is really good located and well facilitated, but students are noisy and car park needs concierge.

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

no parking space

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

The property is fully electric with energy saving devices which i don’t understand, i would prefer things simpler. But i understand the saving of the environment comes first.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The area is very lively, with a wide variety of nice venues restaurants, pubs, cinémas and gyms. However, it is not a car friendly area, so having a car here would be an expensive struggle (high insurance + expensive parking). With Morrisons so close to the development and the good bus connection to the city center, I personally did not feel the need for a car.

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

The poor isolations of the sealed windows. More emphasis of the problems caused by a sealed windows (you are dependent on electricity for the ventilation system – in case there is shortcut or a electricity break you literally cannot get any fresh air in the apartment)

What is the best feature of your home:

Spacious apartment with good installations (you don’t leave home in fear of a pipe getting broken).

Facilities: there is no other “facility” apart from parking and rubbish rooms. I would have thought a development this side could have a gym (even if paid) and or similar facilities.

Building management: Centrick property does a very poor job (at least in cotton lofts, building#2). they doesn’t even respond to emails and after 2 years of living here I am pretty sure it will remain a dream of mine to get a smart meter installed as no one in Centrick property can help out in approving/giving meter access for this.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Like: The development is gated and to an extent secure, and is at a decent walking distance from city centre.

Dislike: the immediate vicinity/area seems very unsafe, full of chicken shops and car repair shops etc.

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

The area immediately outisde is full of filthy and noisy shops in the weekdays and loud cars racing at nights.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

Unfortunately there are multiple things wrong – need someone to facilitate to install a smart meter, replace the squeaky mattress and sofas
