I find the Kirkwood design and quality to be good

I find the Kirkwood design and quality to be good, although overpriced in my opinion. I would like to see variations of design for homes on the same street, add some excitement to the development. Unfortunately there is yet to be facilities like recreational parks where children can enjoy spacious outdoor activities or even a gym within the development. Building management is almost nonexistent because the builders keep making excuses with the pandemic. I am neither satisfied or dissatisfied with the property managers, however I would like to see prompt response to repair requests.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The location has easy access to bus line into the city centre, variety of shops are within reasonable distance. There has been some incidents of anti-social behaviour but these are rare. It’s a quiet residential area. Would have been good to have a competitive school in the development area.

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

If I knew part exchange with the same builder in another Scottish city was not possible, I wouldn’t have bought. We were made to believe that was easily doable prior to purchasing our current property, although we knew we might be moving in 2-3years.

What is the best feature of your home:

I bought a Kier, however this is one of two Kiers on site with two full bathrooms

Good quality in general. Good neighborhood

The house is well designed. In general good quality and price. Definitely better builder than some others in the market regarding quality and price. However, I felt that their customer service went down after I bought the house. Not sure if the reason was COVID or because I already purchased the house so I was not a priority for them. Several times I had to chase emails and calls so was not happy with their service at the end. So their after sales care has been my only complain

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Very quiet and family oriented area with nice neighbors. Lots of parking, 2 grocery stores and a convenience store. Everything you need a walking distance including post office. Bypass and dual carriageway is an extra big plus! So close to city center. 2 buses running from the area to union square.

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

I wish I knew their after sales care was going to be so bad.

What is the best feature of your home:

Location. Decent size and quality for the price compared to others.

Excellent

Design is fine the windows aren’t the best and don’t seem sturdy. Building management is OK. Property management fine.
There is no pavement areas up here which I do find is not good enough as some cars do speed Alot up here. Maybe some speed bumps might be better

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

It’s all very good no traffic noise and the parking is fine usually. Some noise from neighbours. But usually ok

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

The only thing is that you don’t know about the neighbours

What is the best feature of your home:

Best feature of the flat is definitely location and area

amenities are poor with only one commercial unit occupied by Sainsburys

Private built houses are lovely, however had we known the amount of social housing which was to be built we may have looked elsewhere. So far amenities are poor with only one commercial unit occupied by Sainsburys. The area around the shop is in desperate need of a bin. Overall however, we love our home and the location – woodland walks on our doorstep and not too far from the city.
