We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

Variations in external design of the houses give the development lots of character. Around £30 a quarter for maintenance of communal areas, grass cutting etc. Safe environment with local shops and services nearby. Easy enough to get to Edinburgh or Glasgow provided you have a car.

Pentland Reach is an attractive development, with a good mix of different house styles and finishes, giving it a more organic look than the bland 'copy-paste' appearance of most new build developments. The green space on phase 1 is really good, with plenty of space between houses and shared green spaces. The second phase feels a lot more crammed in, with much smaller gardens, houses more or less on top of each other and very little in the way of public green spaces - it feels a lot more urban. The build quality is good, but the completion of public spaces has taken a very long time - roads are still not adopted over 8 years after the development started. Public spaces are starting to be tidied up now, but have often been left in a messy state for weeks or months (and some even years) without any communication from the builders as to when they will be completed.

A good little estate close to Edinburgh. All the houses are varied styles and sizes. Lots of families, has a good community feel. Factor attends to common grounds, cutting grass and tress etc. This is ok but they could tidy up after themselves a bit better.

Really good development. Well designed houses. We had a few issues mainly snagging, however they have been rectified. We would recommend the development. Great park and kick about area. Really good landscaping area and path. Maintenance of the landscaping sometimes could be better

Design of the development is generally excellent. Good amount of variation in house design on each street which adds to the character, rather than rows of houses that look identical. Requires a quarterly factoring fee for maintenance of common areas. This service is generally ok but not brilliant.
