Candleriggs, G1

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.

Great location but little noise outside ,There are also lovely open spaces nearby for outdoor activities

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

Responsive but sometimes slow with maintenance. Lively area with great shops, restaurants, and transport links. Green spaces are nice, but parking is limited, and traffic noise can be an issue.

Traffic noise , Modern design with good facilities. Management is helpful, but maintenance can be slow. Clean and secure, but occasional noise from traffic and neighbors.

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

There are so many shops and restaurants around, as it is such a central location. Also there are extremely good transport links (Argyle Street / Glasgow Central).

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

I have not yet encountered any issues but anytime I have a general question or want the building management have been so friendly and always incredibly helpful.

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

I was offered everything I could have asked for prior to moving in, the staff set up a personalised video tour and helped me with questions relating to bills, Scottish council tax, and more.

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

A great location - a stones throw away form some great bars / cafes / restaurants and from one of the main shopping streets. There’s always something to do nearby. Glasgow Green is lovely for a walk too. Only thing I wish we had been told (as we couldn’t view in person) is that there’s an Irish bar that plays live music and is quite rowdy until very late Thursday - Sunday which is right below our flat. All part of living in the city though.

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

Quickly and come round to help fix as soon as they can

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

Wish we had been told about the Irish bar below the flat that plays live music really loud until very late half the week. We considered moving flats when we first moved in as it was unbearable and because it was warm we needed the window open to help cool the rooms down. We’re glad we won’t be living here in the summer for this reason!

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

Great variety of shops and restaurants on the doorstep. Train stations close by and plenty of bus routes. Have not seen any ant-social behaviour and traffic noise is minimum.

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

Yes. In a very timely manner. William was excellent at helping me with a dishwasher issue and Laurie goes above and beyond to help.

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

Everything is all good. One think would be to make sure you have a parking permit for the local area
