Looking for a place to rent, not sure which area to pick.
If you want a safeish area near the city centre then avoid Newtown, Nechells, Small Health, Bordesley, Yardley, Bordesley Green, Small Health, Tiseley, Kitts Green, Stetchford and Digbeth becuase they are rough. Soho road area of Handsworth is also known to be rough.

You could try cornerstone estate agents in Witton on 07988 727 254
