The McEwan, EH3

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

Central location, good flat, team is ok but they could do better to help residents in particular leasing and maintenance. They are always behind schedule. I would say Moamen, the quality manager , is the top of the team. He will go above and beyond to assist residents in many ways.

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

Most of the team will respond swiftly but leasing and maintenance team, they take ages to respond.

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

You pay for the amenities if you want to use for a group.

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

The area has a good range of shops, restaurants and open spaces. Transport links are convenient, though sometimes busy. The street is generally quiet with good sound insulation, and Leanna is a good manager who provides quick solutions in urgent situations.

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

The building management can resolve issues, but often needs reminders or chasing before problems are properly address

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

I wish I had known that international bank transfers to Moda can take much longer to be confirmed by the finance team. It would have helped to plan payments earlier or keep proof of transfer ready.

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

The external location of our apartment faces Drysdale Road - unless you like boy racers, avoid. Maintenance can be lacking, fire safety and security do not seem to be of concern to Moda.

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

Quite poorly in the majority of instances, and can be quite rude when prompted for a response.

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

That the property is a high percentage overseas students, not professionals as we were told when viewing.

Flats get very warm during summer. Management generally avoids residents like the plague. Every simple question or request has to be done through the app or over email. It can get exhausting

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

Moda located in very good location, Closed to COOP supermarket (1 min walk) and two main bus station (morrison and gilmore) and both of them just 1 min walk.
