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

Building managers have assisted with any issues so far and keep residents updated with a bespoke app for everyone living in the development.

I didn’t know how much the sound travels when it is windy.

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

- Shops: 2 Lidls 15 minutes away on opposite directions, a Sainsbury's local in the building, and if you take the train 2 stops to Partick you have another Lidl, a Morrison's a big Sainsbury's and an M&S Food. - Restaurants: You're a 10 minute walk away from the city centre and like 20 from the West End so food and drink choices are endless - Transport: It's at a walkable distance from all you need but there's a train station 5 minutes away, a bus stop across from the road and the subway is in the city centre - Problems: In the area, the biggest problem is littering, though that's the case in most of Glasgow unfortunately. It feels fairly safe and there's only ever noise when people are coming back from the Ovo Hydro (But I'm usually one of them so can't complain too much!)

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

I'm happy to say they've been ON IT. We had a few issues in our flat when we first arrive and by the end of the first month all of them were fixed! And after that, if there have been any issues we've either had solutions or at least more information.

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

- Internet and gym are included with the rent, but energy and council tax are separate - Because management's job is to manage the flats, you'll find no "landlord specials" - Platform is located in an area of Glasgow that's still in development (And that's both good and bad)
