Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I like how easy it is to get to town from here, it is also nice being so close to the water, it doesn’t feel like properly being in the city but is close enough to enjoy the benefits.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The team has been quick to respond to any questions I’ve had on the app
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Wish I had known how good BTR’s were in general, really nice to be a part of a community.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
A perfect location for transport, shops just a little Tripp on the tram, buses etc. a bit windy sometimes but to be expected living near the water.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
With great professionalism, always friendly and up for a chat
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Strictly non smoking in surrounding area’s, noise does travel within the flat quite easily.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It’s a very peaceful place despite being very close to the city centre. Public transport, including train stations and buses, is within easy reach, and shops are nearby for daily essentials. Parking, available both within and around the complex, is convenient. I would say, a great balance of calmness and accessibility
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Absolutely, they have been very prompt and responsive whenever I have raised any concerns. The building management team acts quickly to find solutions.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There isn’t anything in particular. I had an online viewing while I was away on a work trip, and Euan made sure to provide all the necessary details. He thoroughly showed me around via video call and also sent a follow-up video afterwards, which was very clear.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I love that Ocean Terminal is so close!! It’s been so nice to go for food or to the cinema with friends, having Tesco there is also a bonus! There are also amazing bars and restaurants dotted across Leith. I’ve loved exploring what the shore has to offer
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have been super helpful in the process so far although I haven’t actually encountered too many problems
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing really! The team set my expectations pretty high and still exceeded them!!!
