A guide to living in Scotland

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

Everything's absolutely fine around here. There are plenty of local shops, pubs, cafés and green spaces within walking distance. Public transport is reliable and easy to access. The street itself is quiet and tidy, bins are collected regularly, and there’s no real trouble with noise or anti-social behaviour. It’s a lovely place to live, really.

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

The building management has been excellent in every way. Phil is a fantastic manager, professional, easy to talk to, and quick to resolve any issues. Vishaal is always polite and pleasant. Talula is very positive and helpful with anything, and Reuben is friendly and courteous. Overall, a brilliant team.

Overall, everything has been great and I’ve had a very positive experience living here. One thing I’d like to mention is how helpful Brad and his maintenance colleague have been. They’re always polite, friendly, and ready to assist with anything around the building. It’s something you might not notice during a viewing, but it really makes a difference day to day.

Merchant City has everything you need – loads of great restaurants, bars, and shops, plus Glasgow Green is just around the corner. It’s a lively area but feels safe and friendly especially with the front of house 24/7 team. Transport is really convenient with both main train stations nearby and plenty of buses. It’s city centre living, so you do get some noise, but glazing in my appt was really good and I’ve had no issues with anti-social behaviour. Overall, a brilliant location with loads going on.

Yes, I had a few technical questions about setting up bills etc and they were super helpful.

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

Good access to public transport. However lack of parking spaces. The onsite parking is too expensive. Recycling bins are overflowing and need emptying more often. It's a very quiet place to live which I appreciate as I need silence to sleep.

They have been very helpful. Respond very quickly and help with all queries efficiently.

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

As the development location is within a major city centre there is an abundance of shops, bars and restaurants with diverse cusines. Logistically, the location is prime for the Motorway, Railway and Airport access/links. Parking is plentiful with descent rates plus this development has on-site parking

The on-site FM team (including Dom) have been nothing short of excellent. They respond swiftly regarding my queries and always action/close out the issue quickly without any indication of them doing so.... great team.

The building management team really do encourage a community feel with weekly get togethers but place no pressure on individuals to partake. You don't see this wellbeing & inclusion quality when viewing the property but its there
