Allegro Living, B7

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

Allegro is in the perfect location for someone wanting to live in the city centre. It’s within walking distance to both train stations and is near Birmingham City University. These transport links are excellent. Although the location is very central, the roads aren’t busy past 9pm and the apartments are built great to block any noise from the street. Parking provided within the building makes it easy and accessible when owning a car. There is a co op beneath the building also which is super handy.

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

Quickly and efficiently. We had a problem with our washing machine and whilst waiting for a new one to be delivered we were allowed access to a vacant apartment to utilise the washing machine.

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

They offer balconies! Before viewing we didn’t realise this was on option.

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

very good location and so close to city centre. not noisy or disrupting and having the co-op downstairs is very convenient

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

Very poorly as I put in a request about a leak in my bathroom and got no response. As well as my door handles not working properly.

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

I wish I knew that the apartment had many faults such as a broken door, floorboard leaks and no response from the team after i emailed them about moving into a new apartment at the end of our contract!!!

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

Living in this street is very convenient. Shops, restaurants, transports are literally a step away. Universities are also close by which was always a plus. There are plenty of car parks too. The traffic noise was never an issue as windows are soundproof. The only issue is the noise due to construction happening in town or around the building.

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

The building management always replied to problems and issues I have raised even when it took a while for the issues to be resolved. Both day and night concierges and members of the maintenance team have always been extremely kind and willing to help with any issues I have had.

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

They have fixed them however very sloppily, furniture is replaced however mismatched at times, very long time to take action in fixing issues
