Super rapid response, always felt so incredibly supported!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Easy access to both the city centre and the motorways which is great for both me and my partner - I drive and he commutes by train. Great selection of shops nearby that cover everything you could need, and if not it's a 15 minute walk to the Bullring!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Quickly, compassionately and effectively. Never feels like we've been brushed aside.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That there's a second entryway closer to our flat - would have made it a lot easier for lugging furniture on move in!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review Lucy! Myself and the team are delighted to hear that you love the design of the Neighbourhood and find the communal spaces and meeting rooms so useful—it’s exactly what we hoped to achieve for our residents. It’s also fantastic to hear your kind words about our property management team. I'm thrilled to know I have made such a positive impact! If there’s ever anything else we can do to make your experience even better, just let us know.
