Well-Managed, Modern Living with Excellent City Centre Convenience At Lansdowne

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

Living in Birmingham city centre is vibrant and convenient. Great mix of shops, restaurants, bars and green spaces like Cannon Hill Park nearby. Excellent transport links via Birmingham New Street station make commuting easy. Parking can take planning, but a lively, friendly atmosphere make it a great place to live.

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

Very efficient and caring management team. Every single team member has a great level of responsibility and genuinely help out. The team also build very personable relationships - Irina is a great manager for her team and drives the right kind of behaviours. Massive credit to Augustina who tries to bring the residents together through innovative ideas. All other members of the team are great too!

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

Great co-working space and comraderie amongst the residents. Very good environment!

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

It’s amazing location with amazing public transportation connections that are easy and affordable. Amazing close services like Morrison supermarket, Pizza Hut and Dominoes, Post office, and etc.

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

Quick response and available maintenance took care of everything.

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

I have nothing bad to say, but my experience here disturbs due to the flat size. To be honest it’s average size of the same other flats in the city. I want to feel more comfortable in larger places which I can’t found it here. Also I felt the prices were increased and I think they follow the market prices.

Comfortable secure place to live

The Lansdowne, B16

Apr 2026

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

The area itself is very well located, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and entertainment, and it’s close to the city centre. Transport is also very convenient, with trains, trams, and buses all nearby.

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

The management team have been responsive whenever I’ve raised any issues. Maintenance requests are handled efficiently, and anything logged through the system is usually resolved within a few days, which makes things feel well managed.

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

The only downside is that mobile signal can be quite poor at times. That said, even if I had known this beforehand, I would still have chosen to move here, as it’s not easy to find a good place in this city.

Review of My Flat in The Sessile

Grace (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Sessile, N17

Apr 2026

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

I like my neighborhood - but I wish there were more shops and local restaurants locally. I end up taking the train back into zones 1 and 2 normally to eat and shop for better selection.

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

Niamh Fennessey Marla has been excellent from all aspects of my tenure in the building. She responds to me extremely quickly and promptly whenever I e-mail her about anything. I also had the pleasure of her handling my tenant application which she assisted me with. I really very much appreciated all of her help and guidance thru the process.

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

I only viewed the apartment with the prior tenants when they were still living there - so I was unable to see some of the wear and tear on the apartment unit after they had already left and once I was able to move in. I wish I had been aware of that beforehand.
