The Lansdowne, B16

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

Recently moved up from Wales for work, and couldn't have found a better place to live for someone new to the city. The building has a bus and a tram stop outside, or is only a 15 minute walk, for going into the city center. There's a supermarket opposite and a cinema behind. It's on the border of Edgbaston Village, which has some high end bars and restaurants.

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

Problems or issues are dealt with immediately. Issues are raised via an app and are resolved by the time I get home from work the next day. A report of any work is logged on the app. Extremely efficient.

Relocating to Birmingham couldn't have gone better because of how convenient everything is when living here. The accessibility, security, culture and support here has been fantastic.

The development is located quite centrally with excellent transport links and walking access to a variety of local shops and restaurants. Due to the central location however, access to open green spaces can be limited.

Typically issues or repairs are handled promptly and where there are delays these are typically due to external contractors. Where delays occur the team makes sure you have appropriate alternatives until the repair is completed.

Ideal location to live in, great accessibility to train station, tram and buses. Lovely pubs around the area. 10 mins walk to Edgbaston Reservoir which is a great place for a evening jog. Major supermarkets are close by.

None, everything is as good as I was explained before moving in. But the parking lot cleanliness is something which I never thought would be such a mess.

I have only positive things to say about the development. Lansdowne is ideally located, with supermarkets, nurseries, GP surgeries, and hospitals all nearby. Everything you need is within a short travel time of around 10 minutes max. There’s also a great selection of restaurants in the area, which adds to the convenience and lifestyle appeal. One minor downside might be some traffic noise, but this is effectively addressed by the excellent soundproofing in the apartments. Overall, it’s an excellent place to live.

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

All the issues were attended to very swiftly and effectively. The portal is very user friendly too.

I do hope the parking allocation process can be improved so that spaces are assigned as soon as a tenant moves in. Personally, I had to wait a few weeks to get my parking sorted, which made things quite difficult during that time. Aside from this, everything else has been very good
