Moda The Mercian is in a fantastic location in Birmingham city centre, offering easy access to shops, restaurants, and bars. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and the transport links are excellent, making it convenient to get around the city. However, the area can be quite noisy, especially on weekend nights due to nearby nightlife, but the apartment’s sound insulation helps reduce the impact. Traffic noise is manageable, and bin collections are reliable.

The response was rapid. I can always get help from professionals

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how noisy the area can get on weekend nights due to the nearby nightlife. While the apartment's sound insulation is good, light sleepers might still notice some disturbance. Another thing to be aware of is that maintenance issues, such as hot water problems, can take longer than expected to be resolved. It’s also worth noting that the facilities and communal spaces are great, but they can get quite busy at peak times. My tip for new residents: if you value a quieter living experience, consider requesting an apartment on a higher floor or facing away from the main road.

Good aspect: The staffs are very nice and the fertility are very helpful, I enjoy the vibe of this building. Bad aspect: Noise is a big problem. The furniture’s leg should be covered with some noise isolation material. For many times the noise from the furniture upstairs drives me crazy.

James who runs the development is extremely helpful, and always is the first point of call when we have any issues or concerns. He’s made our time in Manchester much easier and has helped a lot with feeling involved in the community, especially as he runs the weekly 5 a side games.

We suffered a broken window and have been moved to an alternative flat and given a discount for the future, which we are happy with.

The community aspect is great, and there’s lots of opportunities to meet people. I play in weekly 5 a side games on the rooftop football pitch.
