This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Melissa is EVERYTHING!
Read above. Melissa is THAT girl! Do I have to say more? She deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for her work at Sherborne. She is professional and attentive. And there are no other things I’d want to have in a manager. She has a natural talent for languages.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Melissa was absolutely amazing and she totally brings the vibes and energy to this place. If she leaves, I’m leaving. There is no if ands or buts about it. Makes this place feel like home. Love her. Pay her more.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Again, Melissa! She is always so kind and thoughtful.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Melissa works here. Nothing more to say. She is brilliant.

This development review is rated 4.0 out of 5.0. Good community
Good overall design and modern finish, feels like good value for money compared to other new builds I viewed around Birmingham. Facilities are well maintained and communal areas are always clean. Building management is responsive and property management team are attentive - Melissa in particular is great, always quick to help with any issues. Lifts and post system work well.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Excellent transport links with bus and tram right by the door, and Jewellery Quarter bars/restaurants within 5 mins walk. Supermarkets and shopping are very accessible. Lovely quiet canal side for walks, but city centre is still 10 mins away. Parking can be tight at weekends, bins collected reliably.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Good. Melissa helped me a lot by calling and checking in during the move in process.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Recycling - what the set up is like as it differs per building.

Very important for tenants to have a good experience with the local reception team. Also, all the theme activities are great opportunities for tenants to have social networking

5This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. A Quiet, Well-Maintained Development with Excellent Service
The building is very clean and well maintained, and my overall experience has been excellent. The apartment is spacious, including the bedrooms. A slightly larger living room would make it even better, but overall, I’m very happy with the apartment. One of the highlights is how quickly problems are dealt with, without unnecessary delays. The reception team are helpful and responsive whenever an issue arises. The study spaces and communal seating areas also make the development a pleasant and welcoming place to live. The only real downside is that the gym could do with some improvements.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area is quiet and peaceful, which is one of the best things about living here. There are cafés and supermarkets within a 5–10-minute walk, as well as a small supermarket just two minutes away, making everyday shopping very convenient. There is also a lovely park about two minutes away, a canal around a seven-minute walk away, and a nearby children’s play area. The main downside for me is the commute to university. I need to take two buses, and the journey takes around 35 minutes in total, which can be tiring and inconvenient. Overall, though, the positives I’ve mentioned outweigh this downside and make the area a pleasant place to live.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has responded quickly and efficiently to any issues I have raised. The reception team is helpful and attentive, and problems are dealt with promptly without unnecessary delays. I’m very happy with the service. I would especially like to thank Melissa at reception for being so helpful and supportive.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had checked the commute to university more carefully before moving in, as it requires two buses and takes around 35 minutes in total. I would recommend that new residents try their usual journey before deciding. On the positive side, I’ve really appreciated how quiet the area is and how quickly the building management responds to problems—things that are difficult to judge during a viewing.
