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

Convenient for travel (tram/train) 5 minute walk away. There is access to the platform from the Goodsyard s but unfortunately for the duration I was there (1 year) I never got to use.. it was out of order, when I moved in I was advised it was due to open a few weeks after. 1 year one it still is not open.

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

The staff were great especially Nadine, Eleni and Chandler 🤍

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

I believe I was showed and told about everything while viewing the property. No issues here

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

I have had no issues with the surrounding area up till now. I enjoy the close proximity of the Jewellery Quarter tram station which has quick access to the city centre, and its 60 seconds to drive to the motorway.

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

Fortunately have had no issues to raise. Communications about the the development are swift by email.

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

The walkway onto the street and to the station platform would be closed off permanently, shortly after moving in.

The Lansdowne, B16

Feb 2025

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

Right on the edge of the city centre, 15 minute walk into the centre. Many bars and shops available within walking distance, and importantly a large supermarket nearby (suprisingly rare for renting). 5 minute walk to a central train station and great bus links!

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

Immediately and effectively, rarely had to wait to hear back on any issues that have been had.

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

Local parking (without an allocated space) appears to be tricky, but as a non-driver it wasn't an issue for me

Brilliant location next to plenty of amenities. Very close to New St and Bullring as well as Brindley Place. Love it here. Tennant St is very quiet and I’ve had no issues.

They’ve been brilliant, Katie has dealt with any issues I’ve had and Rob has been swift to fix

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

Should have moved in quicker! Brilliant building and they make it so easy to live here. Love it
