Perry Barr flats - council

Hello, I was wondering if anyone on the council bidding has been offered the new Perry Barr flats? I would like to bid for them but worried about the no parking situation. Does anyone know if there's parking nearby

What council you with?

Birmingham

Ahh I know exactly where you mean and didn’t bid because of that same reason! I drove round there to check it out before bidding and saw no car access what so ever! I don’t get it.. like how would postman, food delivery ect even get there? It literally looked like a paved little village to me

Wish I could get on biddin

The parking situation is a bit awkward as it's not situated near many side roads.

@Jemmesha yup the closest I could get was wellhead lane

@Aaliyah yeah I really don't understand. They're planning to house so many families there but no car park? 😭 what is everyone supposed to do

I honestly think they’re made for those who travel via public transport… because there’s literally no other choice from the looks of things.. I don’t think it’s well thought out though like what if someone needed a grocery delivery?!

Ive bid on it and been offered it and now stressing about parking😭im sure birmingham city council could give residents permit on one of the side streets? And im pretty sure there is an entrance for deliveries etc as there is a car park onsite but only for private people who have bought the flats! But there are cameras that check the number plates going in and out so not sure😩

@May have you viewed it yet? How is the inside? Is open plan kitchen

@May aw that's a shame that the parking isn't for council residents

I got my offer 5 weeks ago and havent heard anything from anyone🥲i just chased them up and apparently theyre very behind and havent even gone through the first stage of applications, so viewings wont be for a while😓but ive seen some pictures of the inside online (dont know which exact building) but they are all open plan!

@May aww that's annoying. Hopefully you hear back soon

@May my friend got offered one has been able to view it already. They are very beautiful flats🙏🏾

@May and out of curiosity how long did your numbers take to get to 1 after they fell below 10? Asking for myself lol😂🙈

@Jemmesha no way?! When did she get to view? They’ve been saying to me no ones viewing yet🤨did she get her keys on the same day as thats what they said to me? Lol not long! I’d say maybe a few weeks? Maybe a month, but its all been on the tower block flats etc on houses i was still in the 100’s x

@May girl, they are lying😂. I've heard of quite a few people going to view them. No, she doesn't have them yet. Yeah I'm not fussed for a house as of yet, I just really want one of them flats in Perry Barr so I just wanted to suss what my chances are, thank you girl, I hope u get to view your property soon!

@Jemmesha if you’re under 10 they’ll be a high chance you’ll get one. I know someone that got one being number 7. I was number 1 for multiple properties but you only get one. Sometimes people refuse and also don’t meet the affordability checks. The rent for the property is £750.52PCM ( two bedroom) so it’s quite expensive compared to other properties

Same reason why I haven’t bidded on them yet, I was queue 1 last night for it but needed to know about parking! Beautiful apartments but no parking😭

@Fatima I can sacrifice parking because I think they will soon allow parking on site or they’ll be parking around on streets. Hope they’re worth it though 😂

I say that but I have been moaning about the parking since I won the bidding 😂

@aisha parking aside, the apartments/flats themselves are so so nice! So I’m hoping they do sort something asap cus they’ve just been giving me 40 options of them flats every week😭

The apartments are lovely. Parking is the only downside
