The location is great, but we could do with one of the bigger supermarkets chains like Lidle, Aldi, etc. since the town is getting bigger.

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

Pros - it has a couple of grocery stores and some good local businesses; really good primary and secondary schools; good medical practice; plenty of hairdressers; great trails for dog walkers and plenty of kids play parks; train station with great transport links; good sense of community. Cons - not enough shops to cater for all; no petrol garage; not enough bars or eateries for the new wave of people who live in the town; limited bus services; very small streets to navigate in the car. Our street is fairly quiet. There is no traffic noise. Bin collections are regular and reliable. Parking isn't generally an issue for residents, but can present as a problem for visitors.

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

The factor is extremely high for the level of service it provides.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of our home is the ease of access to all the local amenities for ourselves and our children.

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

Friendly neighbourhood, lovely walks nearby, superb butchers, nice wee cafe/ bistro, two main grocery stores, two decent pubs and Indian restaurant, 30/40 min drive between two large cities. Can’t think of any bad points other than the train times aren’t the greatest.

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

Building regulations, Muir Homes build quality and aftercare service.

What is the best feature of your home:

The grey half masonry brick at the front of the property.

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

Laurencekirk is a small, quiet town. There are a few shops, pubs and takeaways within walking distance. There is a train station on the Aberdeen to Dundee line, buses go between Montrose and Stonehaven. Within the town there is a lot of on street parking as many old houses don't have driveways or garages so the traffic can be a pain. Generally a quiet area though, not much anti-social behaviour.

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

That you'll spend a large amount of time chasing up Muir Homes for issues relating to your new build.

What is the best feature of your home:

Quiet, great location if you're prepared to commute or work locally, excellent views.
