We are thoroughly enjoying our stay at Corkfield. The location is superb, and the proximity to my daughter’s school is especially convenient.

The location is ideal for me. There's a gym right on my doorstep, an Aldi just a minute walk away, and a beautiful park only a few minutes from the building. Bus stops directly outside make it quick and easy to get into Birmingham city centre, and Moseley Village is also within walking distance. There's a great balance of convenience, green space, and excellent transport links.

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

While being here, I've not had any issues to be raised.

The nearest high street is Moseley Village, a 15/20 minute walk away. It's not a big deal but worth noting.

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

Location is good close to city centre upto 15 - 20mins by public transport and up to 10 mins by car or motorcycle depending on traffic. Right next Edgbaston cricket stadium, Cannon hill park great space for a run or casual walks, close to nearby Moseley area and there’s a wildlife conservation park nearby too and a few local shops Aldi been the closest. It’s a main road but it’s fairly quite as it connects to high streets further. Gets busy during event days and parking can be an issue but generally fine.

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

Yes, deliveries, amenities bookings, etc all good. However the rental administration side is abit challenging sometimes can be confusing but gradually gets sorted.

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

There are good link of public transport but only buses and certain times waiting time can be long.

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

The area offers a diverse selection of shops, providing plenty of options and convenient access to everyday needs. Additionally, the building's proximity to the MAC and Cannon Hill Park provides access to pleasant spaces for relaxation and outdoor activities. Transport links are excellent, with multiple bus routes offering easy access to the city center and surrounding neighbourhoods.

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

They handle all issues quickly and professionally, working to resolve problems as soon as possible.

There is nothing specific I wish I had known before moving in, everything has been great.

The location is brilliant. Being right next to Cannon Hill Park gives you so much peace and quiet, and because the building isn't boxed in by other high-rises, you get beautiful, open views that you just can't find anywhere else in the B5 area. Well-connected to city centre with less than 10 min by bus. Aldi is right over the street 🙂 PureGym is in Corkfield building but you need to pay separate membership (it's not free for residents) EV parking is available and you pay a fixed amount for parking and you can use it unlimited.

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

It is pretty quick and always they are looking for some improvement. Of course sometimes problem or issues happen, but they are keen to resolve it and communicate with residents well. They provide monthly newsletter and updates regarding any issues or scheduled events in our community.
