Adam Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Telling someone they have made the correct decision by moving from Edinburgh to Glasgow and then recommending they move to Dennistoun is one of the most absurd things I have ever read.I don’t know when you were last in Dennistoun, but it is a pretty decent place to live nowadays and get much more for your money than you would in the west end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Not that I'm suggesting Jambomo posts his/her pay slip, but it's pretty pointless suggesting areas without some vague idea of wages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz_the_Squirrel Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 The suggestion that being out the house for 12 hours a day is normal is crazy talk. It’s all about balance. Young and no family? Rent a nice pad as close to your work as possible and enjoy the buzz of city centre. Thinking of the future? Get yer ass out of the city circa 30-45 mins away and buy a place. You could argue that doing the latter is a waste of time cos you could just stay where you are and spend a couple more hours a day commuting but that time is precious and will completely drain you. You can buy a nice 3 bed house in Ayrshire for 100k in a decent area. If you do move again at least you will have built some capital or have a place to rent out. Good luck with the move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to get the collective of P&B's advice , what's it like to live there? Which areas should I be looking at in terms of living there for a reasonable rent? Will I be murdered? Cheers all. Shawlands/Strathbungo area. Thank me later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I did the opposite and moved from West End of Glasgow to Edinburgh about a year ago and now bought a place here. Loved the West End and would happily live there again, but the commuting to Edinburgh was torture for the short time I did it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're having to add another leg to the journey either way it's pretty hellish. I am lucky that I am in the city centre here and will be central in Glasgow, which was the reason I though commuting might be an option in the beginning. Its the cost of commuting that puts me off, feels like chucking money away tbh. Edited October 15, 2019 by Jambomo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, not in the slightest - some cracking boozers/restaurants about there and also right on Queens Park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I’ve this very morning decided I’m moving back to Glasgow. Update. In the past few hours I’ve contacted the estate agents to arrange a valuation on my house tomorrow, survey and home report next week so it’ll be on the market in the next week or so. Agent said having sold several in the street behind mine in the past 6 months, it should move pretty quick. Looks like I’ve a busy few months ahead. Last time I lived in Glasgow I stayed at Parade Park, in Dennsitoun. Very convenient place to live and I could smell the Wellpark Brewery on a warm summers day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 For southside Cathcart & Queens Park are good shouts as generally cheaper than Shawlands & not too far from Shawlands itself 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRocketman II Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 OP - if looking for a decent one bedroom pad in the West End, we are currently selling one on Cleveden Drive. Factor fees are a wee bit steep but other than that currently at a good (Fixed) price - ha! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
