New Street Station and several bus stops are only a few minutes away on foot, making public transport highly convenient. The local area has a great selection of shops, restaurants, and bars, all within walking distance. The local neighbourhood feels safe and the local community is friendly.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes! The Building management is top tier, very responsive especially Kary! Everything was solved quickly, professionally and efficiently.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
You will get what you see to be honest! And I was extremely pleased with everything from the first viewing day

Single occupancy stay at Forum

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The forum is at the city centre with easy access and a close range to shopping centres such as bull ring. The bin collections were good despite strikes in the area and issues of anti-social behaviour were addressed by the property management team
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They would respond to my emails and action problems and issues raised.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The turning was expected to change from when I moved in and I would have appreciated it if I could see the exact conditions as I ended up raising an issue on chairs which I didn’t see on viewing and they were not up to the standard I had expected but this was minor

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Really convenient for shopping as Bullring is just less than 10 mins walk from here, even the best Asian restaurants are just down the building.

The management team are all very kind and efficient in solving any problem you have.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
