We’ve got our apartment from AMA 2 years ago. We were looking for a new building, but didn’t expect to find something that would satisfy us completely. First, we’ve met Behnam and he showed us two different… houses, we’ve liked the one on McEwan square since it was close to Haymarket and the apartment itself was very bright and spacious (130 sm). Firstly , we’ve noticed a playground right in front of our building, this is not something you usually see in Edinburgh. Then, we’ve paid attention to the tile/carpet floor and underfloor heating in every room

I've owned an AMA home in Edinburgh for 7 years and have been very happy there. Its a well built property and as well as being a great home to live in I'm also sure it has been a good solid investment. AMA staff were so approachable throughout the process, so I'd be more than happy to recommend them.
