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:

There’s no parks or anything like that in the area if you like going for walks or have a dog.

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

Location is very convenient with a wide range of shops, restaurants, bars and open spaces nearby, making it easy to enjoy both day-to-day living and nights out. Broad Street can be quite noisy, especially if your home faces the main road, and Tennant Street also has heavy traffic, which adds to the noise levels. On the positive side, the area is very central, so you’re never short of food delivery options, with plenty of variety to choose from. Being so close to the city centre and New Street Station is a huge benefit, particularly if you travel to London often, as the commute is quick and straightforward.

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

Both Peter and Moses are especially supportive, approachable, and go out of their way to help, which makes dealing with any problems a much more positive experience.

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

Broad Street if your apartment faces the main road, and also along Tennant Street where traffic is quite heavy. It’s worth keeping in mind if you’re sensitive to noise.

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

Music playing at night can be disturbing. The building design somehow keeps this to a minimum of course the higher up you are the better.

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

We have been always been served on time and queries answered about how to operate the equipments

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:

Living in this area has its perks, with a good selection of local shops, restaurants, and open spaces nearby. Public transport links are generally reliable, making it easy to get around, though rush hour can be quite busy. The street itself is mostly quiet, with decent parking availability and regular bin collections, although traffic noise can sometimes be an issue

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

The building management has been responsive and helpful, addressing issues promptly, especially with support from the reception team.

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.

Positive experience when I moved in. Moda app was helpful.
