The property is managed well and taken cared of properly. It is cleaned regularly and maintained. The design is as good as a building can be and it is very comfortable. Your parcels are collected for you and there is a free gym for residents. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you Kishor, Abdul and the rest of the team!

The building is in the city center and very close to local shops, train station, Victoria square, Broad Street and The bullring

The design of the building is great you hardly hear anyone or traffic/city noise. Apartments are a good size and well laid out. Fridge is a good size, was worried about the size of the freezer box but has been a problem so far and fits in more than I thought. Furniture is good quality. Bed is really comfortable.

The only downside of the apartment is the shower, while the shower is great it really needs a door to stop the floor getting a pool of water after every use, not a big deal though.

Not use the gym but equipment looks good and clean. The main areas of the building is kept really clean. All staff are amazing friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Have to say Abdel has been brilliant from the day I have moved in! Having the Parcel safe room has been great and works well. Wish I had move here sooner. Would recommend Aston place great place to live.

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

Great location so close to New st station and other transport links. Shops and restaurants. I have parking in Arena central car park at additional cost good value and car park has security 24/7 and very secure. Design of the building means you can’t really hear traffic noise.

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

Just a great place to live, would recommend Aston place

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

I’ve asked a few questions and they have been answered extremely quickly. All staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Not needed maintenance so far.

Very good management and staff, staff are friendly and help you when you need it. All facilities on Aston place are well implemented as well as the design that gives a futuristic look, very up to date. All of this amazing things made me enjoy even more my staying at Aston Place.

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

Aston Place is the best place you can live if you want to be in the city centre close to all amenities, they have a gym in the ground floor that is really nice if you want to do a quick work out session. They also have a lot of activities that happen regularly and I think that gives it a special touch and it’s amazing to socialise with other tenants. The only down side is that you have to pay for your parking and people that come visit need to pay a crazy amount if they spend the whole day.

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

Parking expenses, knowing that parking expenses was going to be that amount and it wasn’t for free for tenants

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

Quickly and promptly, we only had issues once but it was resolved quickly

Rental review for Aston Place #2yearsin.

Verified Resident
Verified Resident
Review Date Mar 2023

Design and facilities of the building is good, you can expect everything you would expect for a modern apartment. The 24 hours reception would be my favourite so that my parcel can arrive at any time and can have support at any time. The management team here in Aston Place is very friendly and supportive.

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

The apartment is located right in the centre of Birmingham so you will be able to find all the shops, restaurants, bars and open spaces available within a couple minutes of walking. Transport is very convenience as you have access to buses and trams right outside the flat and Newstreet station is only 5mins away. Rubbish are all thrown away on the -2 floor and there are plenty of space there to place different kinds of rubbish recyclable, glass etc and you don’t have to worry about collection. Haven’t seen anti-social behaviour so far and traffic noise is relatively minimal if you keep the windows closed.

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

Would’ve liked to known that the extraction fan motor is right next to the bed when you’re in a studio and it can be noisy sometimes.

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

Building management has resolved all my issues promptly.

Is a very good and beautiful building. The apartments could have a bigger fridge but apart from that is very nice, new and fresh designs. It has good areas of enjoyment, easy access through the building. The apartments are very nice and spacious. I am happy with my apartment overall

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

Is a good area to live but it should have own building parking that is not to be paid. Apart from that is good.

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

Nothing come to mind. When I came to view, all information was given to me, I had a look to the apartment and everything. I was only not shown the other building facilities before I moved but that’s minor.

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

Always respond quickly and helps immediately when needed

The building is brand new with a modern design. Its always clear. Also the gym is always tidy and super useful. The common areas are always clear and tidy. The management is absolutely amazing. They are always in a good mood to help you if you need anything, or chat in general. I find very useful the way the parcel room works.

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

Aston Place is literally in the heart of Birmingham. In less than 5mins you can visit the city centre, Mailbox, the Victoria Square and the Library. I couldn’t think of a better location.

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

I cant think of anything. Everything I had to be aware of was mentioned when I view the building.

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

Yes! I had a small issue with my shower which was solved immediately.

The property management is very good with excellent staff 24/7. The facilities are good, especially the gym. The finish in the flats could be a slightly higher standard. Good parking facilities and good bin storage. There is only 2 lifts which can be an issue

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

City center is easily accessible with shops and transports. The A38 main road is below and engins are loud in the tunnel.

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

Size of the freezer and the noise from the road outside

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

Very friendly and sort out the problems quickly and efficiently

The property is furnished to a high and modern standard both in the communal areas and apartment itself. There’s a beautifully decorated club room on the ground floor for available for residents to host guests or use in the day to work/study and it’s fully fitted with a kitchenette and large dinning table to seat 8-10 people. Additionally there’s a secure post room so you don’t have to be in if you’re expecting a parcel, you simply get a text to let you know it’s arrived and giving you a code to access the room and collect your parcel. I can’t fault anything about Aston Place, they make everything so easy and all the staff are friendly and helpful, helping you with anything from little things like printing to bigger things to do with your apartment and maintenance.

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

Aston Place is perfectly located for city living, it’s a 5 minute walk from Birmingham New Street and located in the middle of the city centre so everything you need is within a couple of minutes walk.

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

The viewings and moving in process is really clear and thorough so there aren’t really any surprises

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

Staff are always receptive and helpful if you come to them with a problem. In a hear and a half I’ve only had one problem and it was to do with my parking space being accidentally reallocated – they were apologetic and sorted it out with me then and there within 15 minutes.
