Glasgow West Ened flat to rentOne of the advantages of the Grant Management online property search is that you can click on an e-tour of many of our houses and flats and take a look around without leaving the computer.

Here’s a flat to rent in the West End of Glasgow for example. Click on that link and you can tour five rooms in the flat, from floor to ceiling, pausing the panorama to imagine how your Degas would look on the living room wall or to check if there is enough room in the kitchen for your valuable collection of novelty corkscrews.

There is a knack to creating this sort of e-tour and we think it involves holding the camera very steady while spinning on your right big toe - but we might be wrong.

Whatever the technique, prospective tenants find the result helps them visualise a flat or house before they visit and then reminds them of the space and lay-out of the property after they have left. Try it yourself - you will find e-tours for properties throughout the UK on the main web site.

Fun at Scotcampus Freshers’ Festival

September 28, 2007

Coming to you live from Glasgow’s SECC! Well, almost.

Furrukh, Elizabeth and Laura have just spent the day on our stand at Scotcampus Freshers’ Festival in Glasgow.

Many of the people who stopped by to see us were new students and we expected them to be interested in sharing flats or houses with lots of their friends. Four or five in a flat at least. But, no. Interestingly most enquiries were about flats for rent in Glasgow for just two people. Quite unexpected, but we were still able to give them what they wanted.

For those, who didn’t want student accommodation - well, we were able to direct them to the Dominos Pizza stand further on, who seemed to be happy to meet their needs.

The most inciteful questions during the day were usually about the practicalities of how we ensure our properties are 100% carbon neutral - and that’s something we will cover in more detail here as this blog matures.
