As my other reviews of businesses in the area will demonstrate, I'm a big fan of Bourneville. It's…read morea lovely part of the world and a place I always take out of town visitors to show them that Birmingham isn't the concrete hell-hole that the media often portrays it to be. The Bourneville Village Trust is the organisation charged with keeping things in order and, to a large extent, exactly as they were when the whole estate was first built by the owners of the nearby Cadbury chocolate factory ("The Factory in a Garden") in the early 1900s. The houses here are all maintained to a high standard and owners / occupiers are prevented from doing anything hideous to them - so you don't seen many stone lions at the end of driveways, or gigantic satellite dishes on the side of houses. If you don't know the area, I'd recommend booking out half a day to take a stroll through this area. It really is a treat.

Bournville Village Trust was set up in 1900 to maintain and improve Bournville. As it is a model…read morevillage, they take their job quite seriously - which means that Bournville is indeed one of the safest, cleanest and most historic suburbs of Birmingham, but also retaining its quaint character can make it a bit of a pain for those who live there. For example, any developments to your property have to obtain planning permission from the Village Trust. There are no pubs as it is officially an alcohol-free zone, which, again, can have its plus sides, but is a bit of a bummer if you just fancy a civilised bevvy on a Friday evening. They also won't allow satellite dishes as it defaces the historic appearance of the village. So, the Village Trust has its good and bad aspects. It makes Bournville a beautiful, clean and safe place to live. It also makes it a bit of a faff, as a lot of normal domestic activities, such as owning a satellite dish or having a drink, are inconveniently tied up in red tape.

This is my local post office, and I love it. Because I use it almost everyday to post my mail. Very…read morefriendly service and very quick to deal with customers as compared to other hall green post office by waitrose which is slow service. But this one is better, the only down side is that this one don't deal with road tax. There is always parking on the street. They also have good range of greeting cards available at good prices.

I've rented my flat through Nicholas George for a year now and both I my girlfriend and I have…read morealways been very happy with the service. The staff in the office are almost faultlessly polite and friendly whether on the phone or in person. They've always responded to any problems quickly too. One morning we had no running water and there was no problems reported particularly nearby on the South Staffs website. I rang Nicholas George and they looked into it, going as far as ringing South Staffs themselves and ringing back to let us know what was going on. Another time, someone had locked the door to the whole house from inside meaning we couldn't get in. Unable to alert anyone in the other flats, we rang Nicholas George who got hold of one of the other residents to come and let us in. When our landlord has been a little slow in getting things fixed, they'll often just send their own contractors in to do a job. Little things like that always help.

Alan Williamson should not be in a customer facing role. He takes any and all complaints personally…read moreand is unable to empathise with clients. His ability to manage a building is questionable as well - others have mentioned botched repairs, organising roof repairs in November in Manchester and being surprised/angry when tenant complain about leaks is telling of his ability to plan ahead. If he does see or reply to this, he will undoubtedly mention the very positive feedback he receives. I have yet to hear a single positive opinion from either tenant or leaseholders.

Regalty Estates …read more Use this company if you want an utter clown like Alan Williamson to manage your apartment block. Bodged repairs .... fobbed off and of course rude replies from staff come as standard for the service you pay monthly. They've take your service charge and pocket it whilst letting your flats go to ruin . A disgrace of a person and i'm not sure how you are a director ..... a clown college might be a better environment for you to direct Alan as your skills are at about this level .
