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

Fantastic location. Easy to get to the centre with ease. I feel for the homeless living around here. I guess drugs and stuff.

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

Anything I would mention. The staff are right on it.

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

How warm it is. That’s my only issue. The flat is so well insulated it can be a bit over heated at times. But the positive is you don’t need to turn on the heating. ?

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

The range of local shops, restaurants, bars and work opportunities are great. Especially for those who work near the city centre's businesses or institutions. Transportation needs are good. The downside is affordable parking nearby. The location is safe for solo tenants. Groceries are a hit-and-miss if you like to go in person, but there are options for deliveries, so that is a feasible option. Traffic noise is controlled and not disruptive.

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

The building management is thorough and follows through with what they promised. Had all my maintenance requests met in a timely manner.

I wish I had known how much I'm going to fall in love with living here! Thanks to the warm, welcoming team and the lovely common area spaces. P/S: I read the books on the shelves and got good recipes on some of the books from the seating area downstairs. Whoever bought those collections of coffee table books, thank you!

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

The building is very quiet & there are so many places to visit nearby. The common areas are clean and tidy.

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

They have responded in a timely manner & been very helpful.

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

I think that it would be good to have a swatch of things like the sofa, even just a colour capture, plus any other key surfaces to help with buying things.

Merchant City is a great central location which provides everything I could possibly need, right on my doorstep. And with train and subway stations within a few mins walk, I'm well connected to so many destinations both locally, and across the country, so it's easy to explore every corner of the city! Although the development is within the centre of the city, its close proximity to Glasgow Green means that you are only 5 mins away from beautiful open green space. Candleriggs location also makes it easy for family and friends to visit, with so many affordable car parking facilities near by.

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

I've raised a couple of minor issues during my tenancy so far, and these have been responded to and rectified almost instantly. The team are friendly, helpful and efficient.

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

The viewings showcased everything that Candleriggs has to offer. The enthusiasm of the staff made me feel excited from the outset. It was also incredibly helpful to be offered multiple viewings and to be shown a variety of apartments. I just wish I knew about the development sooner!

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

Great location for shops, bars and restaurants. Easy walking distance to all major transport hubs in the city.

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

I have not had any issues to raise with building management.

The residents team gave all information I would have needed during the viewing.
