Sherborne Place, B16

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

Local shops and resteraunts have a good selection, including supermarkets within walking distance. Bin collection is what is expected in Birmingham at the moment - unless somewhere uses a private collection service it is all going to be pretty slow; but the bins are easy to get to and there is plenty of room. Even with the bins overflowing there is space. Being central Birmingham there is of course some loud noises late at night, people speeding down the street ect but it is not terrible as it doesnt get much if any traffic from broad street.

Living here puts you right in the centre of everything. It’s just a 2-3 minute walk to Cineworld and Starbucks, plus a great selection of restaurants and bars within the same short distance. The convenience is unmatched, everything you need is on your doorstep. Transport links are excellent, making it easy to get around Birmingham and beyond. Despite being so central, the area feels well managed and comfortable. Parking is generally manageable, bin collections are reliable, and there are no major issues with anti social behaviour. It’s city living without the usual stress.

When we reported an issue with the toilet seat not fitting properly through the ILA app, it was resolved within three days. The process was straightforward and efficient. Communication was clear, and the issue was handled without any unnecessary delays. Overall, the response was professional and easy to navigate.

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

Overall, the facilities are strong, but one thing I would have liked to know in advance is that there isn’t a dedicated treadmill in the gym area. Adding one would significantly enhance the fitness offering for residents. Without it, some of us consider joining an external gym. Aside from that, the experience here has been very positive.

Sherborne is situated in a lovely quiet area of Birmingham but is minutes walk along the canals to Brindley Place. The facilities are kept very clean. Secure underground parking is offered for a small monthly charge. We couldn’t have picked a nicer area to call home.
