Corkfield, B5

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

There is a bus stop outside of Corkfield that you can use to head straight to the Bullring. This takes about 10 minutes and is very convenient, providing an excellent variety of shops and restaurants. Across the road is an Aldi, and a bit further down the Bristol road is a larger Sainsbury's if you prefer to do a shop there. Cannon Hill Park is also a 5 minute walk from Corkfield too which is nice if you enjoy short walks. Bin collections are frequent, and from my personal experience, there has never been any sort of anti-social behaviour. Although Corkfield is situated on a busy road, the apartments do a good job at not letting any of the noise in, so it remains quiet inside.

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

I had one issue with the electrics tripping in my apartment. Unfortunately, the usual maintenance guy was on holiday, however, the management team made sure to hire someone externally to resolve the problem. Was dealt with quickly.

If there's ever any issues I'd say to flag them to management straight away, they will do what they can to sort it out. Since there are a few people on the management team, it may be worth mentioning to more than one person if the issue is important, just to make sure nothing get by unresolved.

All necessities like shops, parks, transport links are within walking distance. Modern and luxury living with beautiful interior and exterior decor. Never any issues with parking & have not experienced any social behaviour as of yet!

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

Building management has been absolutely fantastic! I have been very indecisive in what apartment was most suitable for me and also changed my mind a few times. Regardless they have been patient and there hasn’t been any problems or concerns that have been raised from my side that they did not immediately respond and resolve. They have been very attentive to my needs as a Disabled person, I feel assured and safe that the team will be there to support me in a case of medical emergency which is the most important thing to me. They are very efficient at what they do and they are all a delight to speak to and be around every time, outstanding management

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

I fell inlove with the first studio here and have been a tenant for a year. The location is central, but set apart enough that I almost forget I’m in the city. I love the park 2 minutes down the road, proximity to places like Harbourne, city centre, jewellery quarter, Mailbox… amazing location. Great facility for parking as well which was really important for me. The team are also really helpful and it truly is more like a community. Amenities are great for professionals, with the booths, working spaces, fitness room etc. I’m just in process of renewing/upgrading so that should tell you all there is to know. I’ll be sad the day I have to leave this place!

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

Promptly. May take a little while like days/or maybe a week to get it sorted but not noticed too much of a delay.

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

Consider which direction suits you. I face the main road where the traffic lights are and can get busy. Definitely not a deal breaker but it can get a bit noisy if windows are open. Just depends on tolerance to city noises. I’m good but some may take a minute to get used to it.

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

Corkfield is perfectly situated between shops, Birmingham City Centre and even directly opposite Edgbaston Cricket Ground. Although on a busy road the flats are really quiet. Bin collections regular and well managed too.

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

They always respond very quickly and efficiently. Solutions in the short and long term are always found.

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

The apartment has loads of good features around heating, air quality etc through apps. I would recommend working these out when you move in!
