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

Merchant City is a lively, central place to live with a great mix of independent shops, cafés, bars and restaurants right on your doorstep. There’s plenty of choice for eating and drinking, and regular local events keep the area feeling vibrant. Glasgow Green and other parks are only a short walk away, which is great. Transport links are also excellent, with easy access to buses, trains and the subway. The main downsides are limited to expensive parking, occasional noise at weekends, and some new colourful characters thanks to the recent opening of the new pharmacy next door.

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

Building management has been excellent throughout my time at Candleriggs. Laurie has been brilliant at responding to any issues I’ve raised, with queries always acknowledged and resolved quickly where possible. When problems require further investigation, clear and regular updates are provided so residents know exactly what’s happening and why. Communication is always handled thoughtfully and professionally, with genuine care shown towards residents, which makes a big difference and gives real confidence in how the building is managed.

I wish I’d known earlier just how reassuring the safety and support here would feel. The 24/7 concierge and strong security make such a difference — especially for someone living alone. Also, parcels are kept safely, and moving in was much smoother than I expected.
