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!
Manager response
Thank you so much for such a generous and detailed review, Anurag — it really means a lot to the whole team. We’re delighted to hear how much you’re enjoying living in the building and Birmingham city centre, and that the design, facilities, and communal spaces have made such a positive day‑to‑day difference for you. It’s especially lovely to read your kind words about Irina, Augustina, and the wider team. We’re proud of the care, professionalism, and sense of community they bring, and your recognition of their efforts will absolutely be shared with them. Creating a welcoming, well‑run environment where residents feel connected is exactly what we strive for. Thank you again for recommending us and for being such a valued part of the community. We’re really glad to have you here.

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.
Manager response
Thank you so much for your kind words and for recommending us — we really appreciate it. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your time here and found the amenities, location, and transport links so convenient. While we’re sorry we couldn’t offer a larger flat that suited your needs this time, we completely understand wanting more space, and we truly value the year you spent with us. It’s great to know the team and maintenance support made your experience a positive one. Please don’t hesitate to reach out in the future — we’d love to welcome you back if the right home becomes available.

Comfortable secure place to live

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.
Manager response
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re really pleased to hear that you feel safe and comfortable in the building and that the concierge, especially Augustina, has made such a positive impression — we’ll be sure to pass that on to her. It’s great to know the location, cleanliness, and shared spaces are working well for you, and that our team has been responsive when issues arise. We appreciate the note about mobile signal too, and we’ll continue to explore any improvements where possible. Thanks again for choosing to live with us — it really means a lot.

Been staying here for a little while now since moving away from home and my experience has been nothing but good things reception staff are really helpful if there are any issues.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We had an issue with our hot water and it was sorted out really quickly with minimal issues
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Wish I knew more about the communal room and the events that go on.
Manager response
Hi Kody Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience at The Kell. We were delighted to read that you’re enjoying the views and the apartment design, and it’s wonderful to hear that our team was able to get your hot water sorted quickly for you. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the communal room and events. We are always looking for ways to get the word out more effectively, and we would love to see you at our next event! As it happens, we are hosting a Pizza Party this Thursday at 5:00 PM in The Sitting Room. It’s a great chance to enjoy some food, meet your neighbours, and see the communal space in action. We’d love to see you there! Thank you again for choosing The Kell as your home.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
This area is definitely on the rise with some great pubs for food and drinks near by, Mother Kelly’s is conveniently located next door and you’ll find a fantastic family run pub called The Volunteer which is a few minutes walk away. There are also plenty of green spaces, including parks, reservoirs, and canals that provide great walking routes. Additionally, there are various shops in the vicinity. Access to the Victoria Line is just around a five minute walk away, making commuting extremely easy.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We had trouble with our water on the first day, it wasn’t a problem it was more our fault, that we didn’t know what to do. It was a simple fix but we was seen to immediately.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The communal shared areas come at cost, a lot of the areas we was really impressed by, we didn’t realise we would have to pay for them, we thought we could access these areas with a simple booking.
