Moving to Strathbungo
If you are looking to move to Strathbungo the first thing you will likely consider is where to live. There are a number of good estate agents selling property in Strathbungo and a number who can help you find a place to rent.
A good start would be the Right Move website which will at least give you a flavour of apartments and houses for sale. If you have a particularly question about buying or renting in Strathbungo you could post something on the forum.
If you are moving into the squares, it may look like an impossible task to get the removal van and your furniture anywhere near your house. It can be done, and has been by many people in the past. There are two things that can work in your favour:
Parking on the squares is a lot easier after 9am on a weekday and a removal van can parallel park and leave enough room for cars to pass.
If you happen to buy a house near the ends of the squares, the removal van can park in the back lane running perpendicular to the square (that is, parallel to Pollokshaws Road and Moray Place). The furniture can then be unloaded into the back door of the house.
You will find that once you have got your stuff unpacked and the boxes dumped at the recycling place on Polmadie Road (together with all the stuff that the previous owners or tenants didn’t want – and neither do you) you will want to start to explore the area. This site will give you various pointers for stuff you will likely need. It will also give you a way into the Strathbungo community. As you will see from the BungoBlog there is a wealth of things to do here and a range of people to do it with.
Welcome to Strathbungo.
