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

Wonderful to have the seashore a short distance away with woodland and history on your doorstep. Facilities (e.g. supermarkets) are close by though a pub and corner shop within Cramond would be a real boon. City centre is a short bus ride away.

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

A new factor has been appointed so it is a little early to confirm.

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

No pub on your doorstep was a disappointment.

I have been very pleased with the purchase of my AMA property. The location is perfectly situated close to town and transport links and there is allocated parking which is rare for city centre Edinburgh. A very good investment property build in a desirable area and to a very high standard.

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

Aside from the usually small snagging there has been no real issues since moving in. The developers quickly resolved and issues.

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

Make sure the area where you buy has good access for deliveries and for moving items into your new home. I am lucky that my property has ample space for delivery drivers and a large car park if services need to get in for closer access.

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

The development is in a beautiful and historic suburb of Edinburgh- Cramond. Very close to the development are several interesting walks with stunning views across the Firth of Forth. There is also easy access to the beach, the only beach in the city of Edinburgh. The nearest supermarket is Tesco at Davidson’s Mains, a five minute drive away. It would be difficult to go to a local shop without a car. Parking is in a secure underground car park. It is a quiet development with most of the owners falling into the over 50s age bracket.

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

As mentioned above, we had problems with the incumbent property factor. AMA agreed with us. We fired the factor and replaced them with a professional property factor

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

Nothing has come as a surprise. AMA employed a very professional and diligent sales lady who gave us plenty information and answered all our questions in an honest manner.

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

Very central location within easy walking distance to haymarket and west end shops. Also close to several lovely parks and a lovely canal walk. Parking is allocated with electronic gate so never an issue to get a space. Lots of nearby bus routes. Lots of options for local supermarkets. Loads of restaurants nearby.

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

Yes any issues have been responded to and sorted in a timely manner.

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

There is quite a lot of noise from busy Gorgie road and particularly when there is a football match nearby. Could be a problem for those sensitive to noise or with young children.
