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

Local shop like budgens is nearby, the library is close and so are the tram lines. Good central location for travel. Though there is noise from the main road once you close the windows you can’t hear much.

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

Right from setting up a viewing to the documentation, payment and moving in process was professionally handled. It was quite smooth. The concierge desk always has helpful staff that are also quite fun to have a quick chat with now and then. One of them was Abdul who showed us how the parcel room or other facilities worked when we had queries and made us feel welcome when we moved in to the building on our first day.

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

The good thing is that everything is transparent. It’s made clear what is included in the furnished apartment and what is not, so you can plan to purchase those . But this does mean you’ll be spending a bit more in the first month to set up things like a bin, dish rack, kettle, clothes racks and the like.

The Aston Place is located in the city center, which is very convenient. 5 minutes to the new street railway station and 10 minutes to the Bull Ring shopping center on foot.

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

The management team is very nice, and among them, Priyanka truly stood out. From the very beginning, she left a strong impression on me with her professionalism, patience, and genuine willingness to help. Every time I encountered an issue, Priyanka responded quickly and efficiently, often going above and beyond to ensure everything was resolved smoothly. Her attention to detail and proactive attitude made me feel genuinely cared for as a resident. What surprised me most was learning that Priyanka is not a manager. Based on her performance, leadership qualities, and the way she handles responsibilities, I had assumed she was in a manager role. She absolutely has the capability and temperament to be a manager, and I believe she would excel in that position. Hope she can get a promotion soon.

Energy supplier. It has been set to the OVO energy default. It is better to know before moving in, as that could save time just in case we need to change.
