Lovely apartment with perfect location

Candleriggs, G1

Dec 2024

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

Located right in the Glasgow city centre, Candleriggs is close to multiple train stations, shopping malls and grocery stores. It's also very close to the Glasgow Green, which is absolutely my hidden gem about the city. Glasgow city centre could be quite noisy over weekends, but luckily we have sound proof windows to ensure tranquil nights.

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

The management team always respond promptly to my maintenance request.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The utilities - heating utilities with homebox is a bit confusing. I'm still waiting for their final bill for my previous flat to receive my deposit.

Living in this area has been a fantastic experience overall. The local shops, restaurants, and bars are of excellent quality, offering a wide variety of choices to suit different tastes and needs.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how well the building management handles maintenance requests and keeps communal areas in top condition—it’s been a pleasant surprise! I’d also recommend new neighbours explore the nearby parks and local shops early on—they’re fantastic.

The Point, AB10

Dec 2024

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

The Point is located extremely well, very centrally in Aberdeen. There are plenty of bars/shops/cafes nearby, with other attractions such as the Maritime museum and The Art Gallery being located very close by too. Union Square Shopping centre, and the train station are also a short walk 10 minute walk away. This allows for excellent transport links out of the city. There is a bus stop with buses to the airport located nearby. Plenty of parking options in the vicinity. Belmont street is located right next to The Point with a lot of bars/pubs/restaurants on offer. Overall, a high quality location that makes living at The Point highly convenient.

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

There have been no problems/issues as such. Everything has been excellent. Any requests/queries I have had were met with a great attitude and assistance was provided each time.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Bookings for some of the bookable spaces such as the TV room/club room are highly competitive!
