Kingsford Residence, EH7

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

The local area has great pubs, restaurants and cafe's, as well as St Mark's park and the Water of Leith just across the road. There are three supermarkets within 10 mins walk, and the tram line is also a 10 min walk. The street is very peaceful for the most part, but some noise to be expected given the proximity to the primary school.

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

All issues (very few) have been handled effectively and efficiently.

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

The welcome pack and tour provided gave plenty of information prior to moving in.

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

I wish the bedroom had a proper wardrobe as it’s quite hard to store clothes with that limited space

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

Leith walk is just a short walk from the property, which has every shop one can imagine. On the other side, Lidl and Tesco in canon mills are also just a ten minute walk. I do wish that there were more convenient bus routes outside the building, but in terms of walking it’s amazing.

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

Whenever we have had an issue we have simply emailed management and they’ve gotten back to us incredibly fast.

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

If you enjoy cooking, the kitchen space can be quite small, but it is extremely worth it for how beautifully built it is.

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

Quiet, near Leith Walk with excellent cafe and restaurant selection. Easy tram access. Soundproofing is good.

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

Yes, in email. Fast responses. Very quick to help if I lock myself out by accident.

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

The building is old, so the heating bill will be expensive.

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

It is pretty calm most of the time except on weekday mornings when you’d hear children playin’, cryin’ and laughing next to you due to the primary school beside the building, which is verily cheerful :)

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

They are a most swift responsive building management team!

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

Be sure to use the heater gently, for if you keep it incessantly running, it’ll cost you a lot!
