The Silver Yard, B4

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

Very central and close to major transport (bus, trains). Can get busy outside though during peak communiting hours. A small selection of shops around its vicinity, but it not too far from others.

Very quickly and professionally. Had some issues within the flat that they prioritized to resolve. Though it took time, you can see the effort to fix it as soon as possible

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

Real council tax banding wasn't available beforehand.

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

The location is convenient with plenty of nearby restaurants and eateries. However, there are no visitor parking spaces available. The area is close to a university, so there is a high volume of foot traffic at most times. Due to the nearby bus stop and ongoing HS2 construction, noise levels can be quite high and the air quality is not ideal. While transport links are generally convenient, the construction work has caused some disruption. Overall, the area is lively and well-connected, but the downsides include limited parking, construction noise, and occasional congestion.

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

So far, there has been no response or proposed solution from the building management regarding the issues raised. I hope they will consider adjusting the rent to better reflect the overall rental value and condition of the property.

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

Before moving in, there was no information provided about the council tax. After moving in, I had to wait for the council’s response and was surprised by the unexpectedly high council tax band. I wish this had been clearly communicated in advance.
