A guide to living in Scotland

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.

Maintenance team are really fast and effective, and it saves so much time rather than finding service numbers for people around Edinburgh as they can enter my apartment with my permission even if I am not there.
