Cortland Broad St, B15

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

The area around Broad Street is one of the main attractions of living here. There is a wide range of restaurants, cafés, and bars within a short walk, covering everything from casual to upscale, and the quality is generally very good. Supermarkets and everyday shops are easily accessible, and Brindleyplace and the canal offer pleasant open spaces to walk and relax. Transport links are excellent. New Street Station is within walking distance, the tram stop is close by, and bus connections across the city are frequent and reliable. Living on the street itself is generally fine. Bin collection is managed through the building rather than the street, parking can be limited given the central location, and there is some traffic noise at peak times, as expected in a city-centre location. Anti-social behaviour has not been an issue for us.

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

In the first year, the response to issues raised was prompt, professional, and properly followed through. In the second year, this has changed significantly. Response times have become slower, issues often require repeated follow-up, and in some cases meaningful action only seems to happen once matters are formally escalated. The responsiveness that defined the earlier experience is no longer consistent.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how much the quality of day-to-day living here depends on the management team rather than on the building itself. On a viewing, you see the apartment, the amenities, and the communal spaces, and on those measures the development is genuinely impressive. What you cannot see is how responsive management will be when something actually goes wrong, and how consistently that responsiveness is maintained over time.

Overall, everything about living here is very good. There’s a great range of local shops, restaurants, and open spaces, and transport links are convenient and reliable. The street is generally quiet, parking is manageable, and bin collections are regular. The only downside is that there is no reason of closing lounges for residents after 12, which can be inconvenient at times.

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

Actually they are doing all the best because they are all one team and as a said they are very kind and welcoming

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

be honest, everything has been really good so far. We’ve had a genuinely positive experience since moving in. The area feels safe and welcoming, the neighbours are friendly, and we haven’t had any unexpected surprises — which I know isn’t always the case when moving! It’s been exactly what we hoped for. If I had one small tip for a new neighbour, it would just be to introduce yourself early on. It really makes settling in feel easier and more connected.
