Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Everything is absolutely perfect apart from the temperature in the building as it’s way too hot. No noise to speak of apart from weekends. Some female tenants are a bit loud.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Cooker/ oven was fixed spin a timely manner. I was also offered an alternative apartment to cook in.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Recycling doesn’t seem to getting done as I can’t find to bottle bin.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The variety and quality of shops, restaurants, bars and open spaces around the apartment are very good. The accessibility and usability of the apartment itself are also very satisfactory. The living environment on the streets near the apartment is very good, for example, parking availability and rubbish collection are good, and there is no nuisance behaviour or traffic noise.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The apartment management team responds quickly to any issues raised. These issues are also resolved by professionals within a relatively short time schedule.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It would be helpful to know the noise level at night before checking in.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Merchant City has everything you need – loads of great restaurants, bars, and shops, plus Glasgow Green is just around the corner. It’s a lively area but feels safe and friendly especially with the front of house 24/7 team. Transport is really convenient with both main train stations nearby and plenty of buses. It’s city centre living, so you do get some noise, but glazing in my appt was really good and I’ve had no issues with anti-social behaviour. Overall, a brilliant location with loads going on.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, I had a few technical questions about setting up bills etc and they were super helpful.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
You get so much more for your money here than usual rental options. The team put so much into it all.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The range and quality of shops has been brilliant. Convenience stores like tesco and sainsburys are less than 5 minutes away and there are plenty of bars and restaurants within a few minutes of walking distance. Location is 10/10!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
All issues have been resolved quickly and efficiently by building management . I would really like to extend my gratitude to Laurie from the reception for helping me with any problems - she has supported me with all issues and has been lovely and kind throughout the move in process.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I think all information has been conveyed beforehand to moving in, there is nothing else I would have thought to have known before moving in.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
As the development location is within a major city centre there is an abundance of shops, bars and restaurants with diverse cusines. Logistically, the location is prime for the Motorway, Railway and Airport access/links. Parking is plentiful with descent rates plus this development has on-site parking
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The on-site FM team (including Dom) have been nothing short of excellent. They respond swiftly regarding my queries and always action/close out the issue quickly without any indication of them doing so.... great team.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The building management team really do encourage a community feel with weekly get togethers but place no pressure on individuals to partake. You don't see this wellbeing & inclusion quality when viewing the property but its there
