A guide to living in Scotland

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

Good Aspects: Great location, lovely staff and plenty of activities with the tenets. Feels like a proper community. Bad Aspects: No car parking, right next to the street which means certain flats get cars and buses passing by.

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

Have been efficient and reached out on time whenever needed. Always checking up and taking the time to ask about the living experience. Emails in advance to inform on maintenance and regular updates

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

That each room gets a private wifi router. which is brilliant

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

There's the Union Terrace gardens right next to the building, so that's nice place to relax. Being in the centre of the city centre, everything is a walk or short bus ride away. Parking in Aberdeen is a nightmare ordinarily and unfortunately the building also doesn't have parking facilities, but you could get parking bays a short walk away.

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

They are quite prompt responding to queries and hearing you out when there's something to be discussed.

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

Got all information I needed beforehand so nothing much else.

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

Location, location, location it is close to the train station, bus station and shopping centres. Loads of coffee shops and bars on the doorstep.

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

The management responded Immediately. Not a lot more I can add

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

I researched the facilities and location thoroughly before seeking to visit the building. So no surprises.

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

The range of local shops, restaurants, bars and work opportunities are great. Especially for those who work near the city centre's businesses or institutions. Transportation needs are good. The downside is affordable parking nearby. The location is safe for solo tenants. Groceries are a hit-and-miss if you like to go in person, but there are options for deliveries, so that is a feasible option. Traffic noise is controlled and not disruptive.

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

The building management is thorough and follows through with what they promised. Had all my maintenance requests met in a timely manner.

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

I wish I had known how much I'm going to fall in love with living here! Thanks to the warm, welcoming team and the lovely common area spaces. P/S: I read the books on the shelves and got good recipes on some of the books from the seating area downstairs. Whoever bought those collections of coffee table books, thank you!

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

~10-15 minutes from the nearest shops. ~20 minutes to city centre. Occasionally the fire engines, who have a station on this street, can be loud. No problems with anti-social behaviour at all.

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

I have not needed to raise any issues, so I cannot answer this question.

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

How small the freezer is. And the curtains are a bit difficult to close. You lose a lot of heat from the single pane windows.
