Candleriggs, G1

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

The location of the property is amazing, however because of such an amazing location, there is no affordable parking nearby. The restaurants and stores around are amazing and full of diversity, would definitely recommend. The public transport is nearby and and it is very close to the university and many organisations.

Located right in the Glasgow city centre, Candleriggs is close to multiple train stations, shopping malls and grocery stores. It's also very close to the Glasgow Green, which is absolutely my hidden gem about the city. Glasgow city centre could be quite noisy over weekends, but luckily we have sound proof windows to ensure tranquil nights.

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

The management team always respond promptly to my maintenance request.

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

The utilities - heating utilities with homebox is a bit confusing. I'm still waiting for their final bill for my previous flat to receive my deposit.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how well the building management handles maintenance requests and keeps communal areas in top condition—it’s been a pleasant surprise! I’d also recommend new neighbours explore the nearby parks and local shops early on—they’re fantastic.

Fantastic location. Easy to get to the centre with ease. I feel for the homeless living around here. I guess drugs and stuff.

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

Anything I would mention. The staff are right on it.

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

How warm it is. That’s my only issue. The flat is so well insulated it can be a bit over heated at times. But the positive is you don’t need to turn on the heating. ?

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.

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!
