Excellent Living Experience. Well Managed and Maintained

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Everything's absolutely fine around here. There are plenty of local shops, pubs, cafés and green spaces within walking distance. Public transport is reliable and easy to access. The street itself is quiet and tidy, bins are collected regularly, and there’s no real trouble with noise or anti-social behaviour. It’s a lovely place to live, really.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has been excellent in every way. Phil is a fantastic manager, professional, easy to talk to, and quick to resolve any issues. Vishaal is always polite and pleasant. Talula is very positive and helpful with anything, and Reuben is friendly and courteous. Overall, a brilliant team.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Overall, everything has been great and I’ve had a very positive experience living here. One thing I’d like to mention is how helpful Brad and his maintenance colleague have been. They’re always polite, friendly, and ready to assist with anything around the building. It’s something you might not notice during a viewing, but it really makes a difference day to day.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Location : Cozy and Vibrant community in centre of the city, just 1 minute walk to Belmont street and 2 minutes walk to Union Street. Amenities : It has all amenities within - Gym room, Club room, Working hub, Laundry, TV lounge, Bin collection, and most importantly the Terrace Garden at 11th floor where you can view the entire city (the favourite one for all the residents). Front office : The front office staffs are much helpful carrying positive vibes, and special mention to the staff TALULA who is very friendly, welcoming and approachable. Made many friends after coming to this place !
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Whenever there has been issues reported like WiFi connectivity, or Laundry Iron fault, the response has been immediate and issues were fixed in a day.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
This was the first property that I visited, and visited other properties too, but never felt such a positive vibe that I got here.

Thank you so much Ali for sharing your experience with us, we’re really pleased to hear you’ve enjoyed living here! It’s great to know that you and your flatmates find the lobby area such a comfortable and useful space, especially for studying during exam time. Your suggestion about adding more plug sockets and extending the study area hours is really valuable and will be passed on to the landlord for consideration. We’re also glad to hear that our maintenance team has been responsive and efficient in resolving any issues you’ve raised. Providing a reliable and supportive service is very important to us, so it’s great to know this has been your experience. Due to local restrictions and the building’s central location, on-street parking is unfortunately not available in the immediate vicinity. We understand how important this can be, and we’ll work to better communicate this detail to prospective residents in future. Thanks again for your constructive feedback and kind words. If there's ever anything else we can do to support your experience here, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Scotland
Boasting some of the highest scores for standards of living in the UK, Scotland is a country of extraordinary natural beauty. Add to that its friendly, cultured cities and a rich history stretching back for centuries, and you have a location that offers something for everyone. Whether you live in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen or another of its cities, or find a home closer to nature, Scotland provides plenty to appeal to property hunters of all ages and inclinations.
Aberdeenshire
Set within easy reach of the Cairngorms National Park, the city of Aberdeen was named as the best place to live and work in Scotland in a 2019 report by Demos-PwC. Alongside the stunning local scenery, another of the reasons for this was the low property prices relative to earnings. This offers residents an excellent standard of living – driven in large part by the oil and gas industry. The lively harbour city is also known as the ‘Granite City’ or ‘Silver City’ thanks to its historic granite buildings.
City of Dundee
The City of Dundee is located on the northern banks of the Firth of Tay. It has a population of around 150,000 people and is ranked as one of the best cities to live in Scotland. Dundee was established during Roman times when it was known as "Din Eidyn." The city encompasses many different areas including Angus, Abertay University Campus, Caird Hall, Fauldhouse Golf Club, Glenshee Ski Centre and more!
City of Edinburgh
The county of City Edinburgh is one of the most desirable places to live in Britain. It's a county with a rich history and thriving culture, and it's also the home of many prestigious universities. If you're thinking about moving to Scotland - or even if you're just curious about this wonderful place - we hope that our guide will be helpful!
City of Glasgow
The City of Glasgow is a large city in Scotland that lies on the River Clyde. It has a population of 598,040 and an area of 335 square miles. Known as "the Dear Green Place," the city offers residents plenty to do with over 300 parks, gardens, and golf courses. The University of Glasgow is one of its notable institutions as well as being home to some 80 different languages spoken by students from all around the world!
