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

The building is in the city centre, so it is very convenient and close to many facilities. There are plenty of shops, cafés, restaurants, and bars within walking distance, ranging from independents to well-known chains. The Bullring and Grand Central are also nearby, offering a wide choice of shopping. In addition, the area has excellent transport links, with frequent buses and trains from New Street Station that make commuting easy. Overall, it’s a comfortable, safe and pleasant place to live in city centre.

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

The building management is very responsive, and the property management team provides clear communication and support whenever needed. Thanks to their efforts, the development feels well cared for and offers an excellent balance of convenience, comfort, and quality of life. A special thank you to Karrie, who went above and beyond to assist us throughout the process of renting our flat. Her professionalism, patience, and friendly approach made everything much easier and far less stressful. We are also very grateful to the maintenance team, who were quick, helpful, and efficient in resolving issues. Overall, the entire team has made our experience smooth and positive, and we truly appreciate their excellent service.

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

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

There's an excellent selection of local shops, like tesco is less than a 10 minute walk. There a great variety of restaurants as were in Birmingham City center, as well as excellent transport links due to this prime location. The bin collection service is great, plus there's hardly any traffic noise coming into the building.

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

I couldn't find the bins when I first moved in and they were helpful.

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

Great location to be in Birmingham city center which means the transport links are great.
