Fantastic Cortland experience

Simrita Kaur (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Cortland Broad St, B15

Dec 2024

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

The range and quality of local shops, bars and restaurants are great. I also feel safe walking out and being on the nearby streets. There isn’t any parking which is slightly frustrating but nothing else that is bad other than that.

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

Immediately - within 24 hours at times and the problems have been fixed very quickly.

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

The only thing that I wish I had known is how high the energy bills are. I try not to use it often but the bills are still quite costly.

As a current resident, I found Allegro apartments very comfortable and lively place to live in the middle of the city.

Allegro Living, B7

Dec 2024

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

I have been living in Allegro from last 3 months and I found it very esay to connect to the tram station as well as the city centre and all the needy facilities of Birmingham.

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

As far as I have connected with the Allegro staff about all my issues and doubts, most of the staff is very helpful but I personally felt that Fasal and Kultar as well as Albert have helped me solving many of my issues, more than that, they (Fasal and Kultar) have a very friendly and supportive nature.

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

The Management should provide full details about all the issues and solve all the doubts of the residents as soon as possible is “EASY WAY” Instead of rounding up and confusing the things. we personally faced issues for connecting and finding our electricity provider and I hope No-one in future should face this issue.
