The building design is very thought out, with systems in place to allow every day for the tenants to live their lives without any problems. Every space within the Wullcomb has been considered, with various different rooms and seating areas, you will never not have somewhere to sit! The flats are extremely spacious and have a big kitchen, fridge freezer, washing machine and even dishwasher. The building is managed by great people, Karl and Louise are always willing to help and always willing to ask whatever questions we have, as well as the fantastic concierge teams, maintenance teams and other staff that are on hand to assist (Stefan, Daniel, Cristina etc).

I’ve been living here now for almost 1.5y and I feel this is a very comfortable place to stay. The building’s upkeep is fantastic, the flats in a good, renovated state, mostly well equipped, though I believe some better than others. You can hang pictures on walls 🙂 Building management are fantastic, extremely helpful, responsive and proactive, and the people living here are friendly and quiet and a spare items exchange is sometimes happening in the corridor. I feel safe here, the entrance is locked, all areas are well lit and clean, CCTV is in operation, I am happy to have neighbors accept my parcels. There is a little garden behind the building which is quiet and looks nice. The area nearby has everything I need and it’s not far from the city centre. There is car parking, but you have to pay extra. There is bike storage. There is no dedicated concierge. You have no meters in your flat so readings are obtained from building management. Overall recommended!

When I was searching for an apartment in Birmingham security was my first priority I have found a lot of building with only half day concierge and a password entrance but when I found The Lansdowne 24hours concierge and with a biometric entrance I know I will choose it as a student security is so important to me. Every room you want to enter you use your finger print which is the best. It’s a new building with amazing staff and great location just opposite to the building you can find a huge supermarket. The apartment it self it’s spacious with high quality furniture + fully equipped kitchen, love the choice of colour and the design so simple and clean. The Lansdowne provides you:
1- free Wifi
2- free residents gym
3- a meeting room with cinema screen
And a perfect lounge to welcome guests.
Really recommend the Lansdowne if your looking for apartment in Birmingham.

Management

I’ve lived here for almost three years and rented in London for twenty. Having lived in different areas and different kinds of buildings, I can honestly say this development is the best I’ve lived in in its price range. It is purpose built and functional with decent quality, minimalistic decor and fixtures.
Flats are in the process of being updated with new kitchens and bathrooms. The renovated flats are top notch but those that haven’t yet been upgraded are a bit tired looking. The communal areas need a facelift which we’re told is imminent and one downside is the lack of outside space unless you are on the top floor with a balcony. Although overall, the flats are much nicer than those I’ve lived in that are converted in older buildings.
One landlord owns the entire building and the building and flats within are managed by their own agency. I have found the staff friendly and helpful, and quick to respond when I’ve had a maintenance issue. We all received a handwritten Christmas card with a branded tote and very nice posh chocolates at Christmas from the property management team which I thought was a lovely touch.
