The Mercian, B15

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

It’s a very nice location with plenty of choices in food to choose from in a central location of Birmingham. There’s good transportation all round but sometimes can be heavy with a lot of traffic around rush hour. There’s a lot of bars and such in the area so be aware of noise on weekends

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

Very well and very professional all round. The management have always been excellent

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

I wish I had known how busy the area gets during peak hours, as it can make parking and transport more challenging. It’s also worth noting how friendly and supportive the reception team is—they make settling in much easier.

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

Lots of transport connections and links within a short radius. Parking availability very limited on tennant street.

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

On a number occasions I have to wait until Monday for a problem to be resolved because there is no maintenance staff during the weekend.

Big thanks to Moda. It's been my home for a while. It's time to move on. More thanks to Moses and Peter.

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

Much of it is the blockage of the dishwasher but someone turns up really quick to fix it

Enjoyed every bit of my time although my apartment was very hot in July and August

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

Living on Broad Street offers great convenience with plenty of shops, restaurants, bars, and open spaces nearby. There’s even a Tesco just outside the building, perfect for grabbing quick food or snacks. Public transport links are excellent, with frequent buses and easy access to the city centre and beyond. The area is lively, especially on weekends when the clubs make it quite hectic, so expect a busy atmosphere at night

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

The building management has always responded to any problems quickly and professionally, making sure everything is resolved smoothly. I’ve always been treated with respect and care, and the team goes out of their way to help. Moses and Peter on the night team have been especially kind and supportive throughout my time here, always making me feel looked after and well cared for.

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

The atmosphere is great if you enjoy being in the heart of the action, but it can be a bit noisy late at night with the clubs nearby. On the positive side, I didn’t realize how convenient it would be.
