Ahmed and Courtney thank you for the service you provide at Paradise View. Geor-Dan is really enjoying her new space and we appreciate the comfort we have in knowing she’s safe and in a space that she enjoys, especially because we don’t reside in the UK, so huge thanks 💕. PV is safe, in a great location and well managed. The building requires a fob for entry, has a reception, beautifully designed shared spaces and individual apartments. The location is excellent because it’s located in the right next to a great convenience store and gym. It’s also within walking distance to all modes of transportation that arrives and departs from the city center. There’s also a tram stop very close by. We couldn’t ask for much more, so again thank you Ahmed and Courtney!

Loved living at Paradise View! Paradise View is such a great place to live! They’re always organizing fun events, which makes it super easy to meet people and make new friends. It really feels like a community here, not just an apartment complex. The coworking space is a big bonus, there are even meeting rooms you can book if you need some quiet time for work or calls. Super handy if you work from home! Also, a big shoutout to Ahmed and Courtney, they’re always so helpful and friendly, and really go out of their way to make sure everything runs smoothly. ❤️ And the location? Honestly, you can’t beat it. Everything you need is just around the corner ☺️

If i could provide a minus review for this place i would. Courtney the manager has a complete lack of empathy or concern for any of the residents. Once you sign your contract any issues that you might have won't be addressed they just want your monthly rent. When we moved in we was told no more than 11% of the building would be rented to students, this is not the case. Their is no security within the building, 2 PS5's have been stolen from the downstairs lounge area since we have lived here. If you forget your fob you are given a code for a box outside and you can access the entire building! Well worth the city centre payment for your room to be accessed by anyone. The roof terrace is in disrepair. panels missing and the furniture nowhere enough for the residents that reside here. The trains exit Birmingham New Street station underneath the building and diesel exhaust fumes are put in to your room through the filtration system under the building. If you are on the lower floors you will hear the trains passing under the building. Courtney emailed the residents asking for reviews and if you mentioned her you would get a £10 Amazon voucher. Do not move here you will regret it!

The management from VervLife were here recently and were laughing how residents at a block in Manchester that they manage were frightened to leave the block because of the drug dealing and knife crime outside the building. This is how much VervLife will care about you! Do not rent from these people they are putting your lives at risk with their lack of security.

Paradise View is a wonderful place to live for a variety of reasons. Firstly, the location is perfect, you could not ask to be better placed to access everything birmingham has to offer, it is a 5-6 minute walk from new street train station which is incredibly convenient. Next, the apartments are very high quality, I have had no maintenance issues despite being the first tenant in situ. The communal areas are brilliant, there is space to work, study, relax and have a coffee, all just a lift ride away. On top of this there is a bookable meeting room which comes in handy for conference calls! Courtney and Ahmed deliver an impeccable service and are very swift to respond to emails and or requests, not to mention that they are both always up for a chat. Getting deliveries is a dream as there is a secure room that is available 24/7 to pick up parcels from. Overall I highly recommend paradise view if you’re looking for a high quality and convenient place to live.

Living in paradise view has many advantages, especially for those who enjoy city life. The apartment is located in the heart of the city, making it incredibly convenient. Shops and restaurants are excellent, with a wide variety to choose from, including some amazing Chinese restaurants. Being in the city center means everything is within walking distance, which adds to the convenience. Transportation is another highlight. The location offers easy access to bus, coach, and train stations, making it simple to travel locally or even nationally. Public transport is frequent and reliable, adding to the appeal of the area. One of the best parts of living here is the apartment staff, especially Muhammad Ahmed Aziz, who is EXCELLENT. He always brings a positive and friendly vibe, making residents feel welcome and comfortable.

Amazing service from viewing (was shown 3 different apartments to evaluate the options available) to moving in (my keys were available pretty much as soon as I made my first payment and signed the paperwork. Referencing very quick and was kept in the loop at all times by the staff arranging my move. Staff on site are happy to help with any queries you have, there are great facilities including meeting rooms and a private dining room to name just a couple (although I don't make use of most of them, I will utilise the roof terrace in summer). If you are looking for somewhere in the city centre with a hassle free move I highly recommend Paradise View. Book your viewing today and you will want to move as soon as you have a look around.

I couldn't be happier with my choice to live at Paradise View Apartments!The apartments feature quality finishes, great natural lighting, and smart layouts that maximize space. The soundproofing between units is excellent. Ahmed is exceptional - always responsive and genuinely caring about resident comfort. The common area has become a vibrant hub for remote work and community gatherings, with comfortable seating, fast WiFi, and a great atmosphere. One of the best recent additions the new Anytime Fitness gym right in the building. Residents get special subsidized rates, making it incredibly convenient to maintain a fitness routine without leaving the premises. It's a game-changer for busy professionals! The location in the city centre is unbeatable, with everything from restaurants to shopping within walking distance. Public transport connections are excellent, making commuting a breeze. The building maintenance team keeps everything spotless, from the lobby to the elevators. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a premium living experience in the heart of the city!

I’ve been living at Paradise View Rental Apartments for a while, and I have to say, the concierge team is fantastic. Courtney and Ahmed really stand out and deserve some recognition. Courtney is just lovely, she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure residents are happy and their needs are met. I actually knew her from my last apartment, where she was part of the letting team, so I’ve seen her exceptional work ethic for over two years now. It’s refreshing to see her bring that same dedication here at Paradise View. Ahmed is also great! He’s incredibly dependable and doesn’t hesitate to take on tasks outside his usual duties as a concierge. No matter what needs doing, Ahmed is on it. You can tell he genuinely cares about making residents feel comfortable and valued. Overall, having Courtney and Ahmed here makes living at Paradise View even better. They’re both incredible assets to the team, and it’s always a pleasure interacting with them!

Paradise View Apartments is in an ideal location, just a short walk from the station, making commuting and getting around incredibly easy. The communal areas are well-maintained and provide a great space to relax or socialise with friends. They also put on regular events, which is a fun way to meet the neighbours and feel part of the community. Courtney and Ahmed are always friendly and accommodating. Plus, the stunning views add to the overall experience.

Paradise View is a great place to live. It is well located near New Street, with endless options for food and shopping. It is also walking distance to all 3 train stations, and located conveniently next to Town Hall tram stop. The apartments and shared social spaces are all very new and well furnished. Thank you Ahmed and Courtney for being so welcoming and always going above and beyond for the residents!

I moved into this building a week ago, and I couldn’t have made a better choice. The common area is beautiful, spacious, and full of entertainment options. The building is extremely well-maintained and always clean. The team is friendly, available, and ready to help whenever needed. A special thanks to Mohamed, who assisted me during the viewing, he was very kind and welcoming. Great bicycle parking as well! Highly recommended!

The move in process was straightforward and easy going. Ahmed was really helpful in guiding me through the process. Both the apartment and building are extremely clean. As a resident I also got some great benefits like discounts at the gym and a nearby grocery store. Overall really happy with my decision!

Paradise View Apartments are in a very central and prime location, just a short walk from the Bullring shopping center. The communal areas are always clean, with a stylish, boutique feel. They also host great events for residents, adding a lovely sense of community. Ahmed is incredibly helpful and personable, always ready to assist. Highly recommend living here!

Moved into an amazing studio and everything is great. Reception was really helpful and very informative. The common area facilities are more than I can ask for, which is a mix of productivity and fun. They also host DJ nights and live sport events. It’s fun to hang out with other residents.

Overall I'm satisfied. Coffee is available. It's close to the gym. It's conveniently located near the station. However, if there's no staff at the reception, delivery people will harass residents and force them to open the door. It would be good to have some sort of rule regarding deliveries.

NOT SAFE. DO NOT RISK YOUR SAFETY. Only consider if you have backup options and you are in a safe and secure position before considering this site! To explain, my wife and I went there and were very happy with the studio. We were very happy with the room, less so about the bike area (unfortunately filled with waterlogged drowned rats exposed to the outdoors) but for the price it was reasonable and we were very happy with it. They use a 3rd party background checker called "Homepeople" which check your finances and so on but the problem is they have no phone number just an direct messager. You may think you're talking to AI with thm but apparantly it is not the case however the actual experience of dealing with them is not human in any way shape or form. It was frustrating to navigate and if they request something they'll ask for some paperwork to be done in the next hour or your application will be closed. There was an issue that required me to call the location site as homepeople said it was not their problem. I phoned and paradise didn't answer. I kept ringing, panicking because we needed to get this place sorted, we were so so scared of losing it but paradise wouldn't pick up the phone. Even now I look over my interactions at that moment and the worst I really can think of was a commented about homeppl to Courtney in which I said "I'm sorry for bothering you guys, it's these homepeople guys, they're just braindead. No offense to yourselves I know paradise staff are not the homepeople staff and you guys are doing fine." So I updated paradise and I begin to rush back, it appears at that time courtney was annoyed she had to do the email. Even now I really try to imagine what kind of tone or words I could of said to her to of made her cancel my application later but this is all I know. ((Had to edit and needed to reduce some text)) Homepeople are a nightmare as far as third party finance checkers go. Total and complete automated humans, incapable of independant thought. They made it impossible to deal with the application and gave me "next day" ultimatums while trying to deal with 2 other people. They felt being compared to AI was too accurate and sent an email telling Courtney stopping the application I went back there with my wife, apologising for behaviour. She must have felt so strongly about defending the AI stylised agents that that was personal justification in itself. She let us beg in front of her and she did so quietly and composed because her decision had already been made. A woman I had never brought any trouble to was so absolutely appauled I would comment on AI chat-bot agents I didn't deserve a place to live. The next couple of days had been the worst of my life and i've had some pretty low moments in my life. The upheaval was horrendous and i'll always have Courtney to thank. I only felt brave enough to write this review only when the last absolute detail of my new place was sorted. I can only Imagine if courtney had her way, I'd be homeless entirely kicked out onto the street and divorced because in her eyes, I do not even deserve the opportunity to rent. To her, I don't deserve happiness and she is the moral compass for everyone she meets. So as I said before, do not consider this place provided Courtney is still an agent there and do not risk the time spent in background checks and your deposit if you are in a precarious situation. Courtney will decide weather you deserve to have a place or not. Every residential complex can decide on who they allow but this place has a truly biased decision. They'll say protection of their staff but they just enjoy excercising their power to discriminate on those they don't like. Be safe **Update**: Courtney reached out to my family and I asking for the review to be taken down because quote "That wasn't my decision to make". To which i'll quote Courtney: "Thank you for your apology but I will not be considering your application. Instead, take this opportunity to grow and learn and perhaps treat others better going forward"

Although the facilities are good, the services of the apartment is poor, especially Courtney at the reception who has really bad attitude and even racist. She never listens to me and always hold a tough attitude but never really solves the problem.
