We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

The balconies could be more private. They over look the canals and as there is always a high foot fall, people are always walking but and staring up to see what you are doing. The cladding on the property is a major issue. It all needs replacing due to its flammability. The insurers have stated they will not provide insurance for the building until it is replaced, but it's not subject to the goverment funding, the owners are responsible for the costs which are in the £10's thousands for each tenant - be wary if you're looking to purchase here. Because of the above (I can only assume) the previous property management firm have ended the contract and a new property management firm has just been appointed - I'm yet to have any dealing with them but theu are regionla local firm. The building manager is really helpful. Usually a really quick response when requiring assistance.

Management can do better. The elevators are always working. There's not enough parking space for the tenants and available one can hold up to six cars only. Its a nice area and definitely secure. You never see kids running around on the road unattended to.

I like the location its central and close to jewellery quarter, brindley place and utilities are cheaper.The best feature s probably the balcony which has a canal view and the ensuite which is bigger than the family bathroom. On the contrary, the parking is a nightmare you have to pay for permits and those seagulls are so loud all night you can not open a window.

The apartment is cleaned regularly. And I've never had any problems with facilities here. It's secure and quiet for me. Everything's just perfect. I don't have any problems with this development at all.

I feel they need to clean the community areas more and change some patio windows as they are old school you know kind of dated. The noise from the traffic or people outside and the seagulls. The building management is not good. I put all the facilities in my apartment so they are 5 stars, i got in and there was nothing.
