Candleriggs, G1

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

The location is perfect, it never lets you down for food and drink options, there are so many. Weekly shops are made easy with a supermarkets very near. All the main Glasgow train stations are a very reasonable walk away, with busses passing constantly. The windows and walls are very soundproof, often forgot I live in the busy city centre.

Response was very quick and communication was great regarding any ongoing issues

I love living at candleriggs. Its very peaceful when you have a courtyard facing apartment as you dont face out to the city centre, its pretty silent! I also have a dog and he has settled so well here. I enjoy the location being surrounded by bars and cafes but its great there is security 24/7 to really make me feel safe.

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

inside the apartment there is a camera buzzer system so if someone rings you from the front entrance, you can see who it is! I find this really helpful

There is a tesco, morrisons, sainsburys and M&S all in walking distance from the building. Being in Merchant City there is a whole range of restaurants, bars and coffee shops nearby. I see the candleriggs staff picking up little surrounding the building to keep the area looking nice.

They responded very quickly with solutions that worked for me

The viewing was very informative. The only thing which is not quite advertised is that only one of the sliding wardrobe doors is mirrored. the non mirrored door was tucked behind the mirrored door at the viewing and I wrongly assumed that they would both be mirrored. I would prefer if they were both mirrored.

Canddlerigges is in the best spot in Glasgow City Centre. Everything is in hand reach, from tesco, seinsbury, parkings, shops such as M&S, and many restaurants and coffee shops. The only down side, since it is in the city centre, of course at night the streets become hectic , but the security in the building is high and well maintained.

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

Once I have an issue with my bathroom, and the team management dealt with it efficiently.

Been here a month and it’s been Amazing! The place has been so well kept and the staff are so lovely. It’s so close to everything, it’s all on your doorstep. If you have a car you can also park it in the private car park. You don’t hear any noise really so it’s nice and quiet and the reception makes sure it’s always safe.
