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

The location is amazing, it’s right in the centre and has all kinds of restaurants within a 10 minute radius. There is a bus stop right next to the building which makes it quite convenient when planning my travels.

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

I lodged a complaint regarding the blinds which I accidentally broke, they management was quick to respond and fix the issue.

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

I wish I knew it sometimes gets noisy on weekend nights as there is a club right around the corner.

Good aspects include: - Great location; close to the city centre and the train station - Great Management Co.; thanks to Lomond who deals with issues promptly - Great amenities; thanks to the shops, cafe’s, restaurants, supermarkets and health care facilities within walking distance - Generally very clean and the grounds are well maintained; thanks to Colin Bad aspects include: - Not security conscious - doors are constantly left open leading to damage. I would say bad habits come from tenants who are not conscientious and trades man/delivery people /post workers - Anti-social behaviour from youths and generally young adults not resident in the development. It tends to get worse during summer months - Transit residents seem to generally care less than long term residents when it comes to being a good neighbour - Parking Management by PCM is not great- there has been issues between car parking spaces and residents getting tickets leading to disputes. Now we have more amenities on site, we also get people parking carelessly such as blocking cars or parking on resident’s spaces etc. - No privacy; we get a lot of spectators/people coming to take pictures/seflies/sit around causing a nuisance. A private gated community would be more beneficial

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

Yes- I recently had issues with the boiler and electricity connected to the oven which are being resolved. I reported the issues on fixflo and they were picked up swiftly.

Indigo is located in city centre, and that too in protest of the city centre- a stone's throw away from super market, bus stop and mall.

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

Yes, always. There's a portal to report problems, which in turn always get attended to.

From Indigo point, where i am currently living, its located in the heart of the city. Tesco, pound land, and queensgate shopping centre are within 5 minutes walking distance. Also bus stand just 2 min walk away. Bin collections are doing wvery friday. There aren't no any traffic noise, also the windows are sound proof.

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

I've raised about 2-3 issued to date and at all times I reciprocate sufficient support.

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

That pets aren't allowed in our flat type. (We had the urgency to adopt a pet after moving to this flat).

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

The opening of the "Julia" shop has increased traffic. Despite barriers being put in to stop cars there are still too many motorbikes roaring up and down the private road at night. Where I live (115 Darlington House) cars park just before the newly installed barriers and there are people there late into the night.

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

Typically ok but I accept that the management have been reliant on contractors. Ive booked holiday in the past, most recently for the boiler service who failed to turn up or notify me of the delay.

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

No plans for electric car charging points to be installed. You would think with such a new development this would have been priced in and thought about.
