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.

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.

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

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