FirstPort Scotland Anmeldelser 

My dad has been living in HomeTay House, the First Port development in Monifieth, Angus, Scotland, for several years now. He can be challenging in a number of ways due to his medical issue. Ruth McGuigan, the Development Manager, has been great with him! We couldn’t manage without her support. Thank you very much Ruth for everything you do for my dad and the whole wonderful development which you look after so well – Mary 😊

I would like to thank Bill Smith the manager of Strathmore Court for the assistance he provided to my mother when she was taken very ill overnight. Thanks to Bill and a neighbour they were able to get a response from the Ambulance Service before she was admitted to Ninewells Hospital. Over the last 4 weeks we have maintained contact to ensure her safe return to her flat, hopefully next week.

Billy is a great Manager always goes over & above to make sure my granny doing well & and she understand anything going in the place .

Ros has been Development Manager at CASTLE COURT IN BOTHWELLsince 5th January 2022.

During that period she has taken the time to get to know all of our residents and impressively learned all of their names in a very short time. I’ve always found that the residents speak of Ros in the most positive terms and she is well liked by the vast majority who can be demanding in their needs. Her cheerful personality and hardworking style make her an asset to Castle Court here in Bothwell.

She has always been very flexible too, even to the extent of handling very irate people in our car park. At a recent meeting she proved herself an able speaker, including her impressively firm, but fair control of Castle Court residents, who have proved difficult to handle as I know from past experiences.

In the short time she has been our Manager I have watched her deal with people in a very competent way suggesting considerable experience in this difficult area. Her patience and firmness should yield an effective long term working arrangement which will prove to everyone’s advantage.

Yours faithfully,

Jack, flat 10O

Yan at Muirfield court is an excellent manager. she always looks out for the residents and resolves promplems promptly.

It has been very reassuring having Yan there for my mother as I can't visit as often as I would like.

She has put in place some great ideas to enable the residents to do their bit for the environment and organises social events to combat loneliness.

A great all round manager and very helpful

Never had any reason to fault the work carried out by our Development Manager who is always about and so keen to keep the development at a very high standard of cleanliness and is always on hand to ask for help and advice.
Yan is by far one of the best Managers around and we are extremely lucky to have her as our Development Manager.

Queens Court in Edinburgh is a pleasant place to live, the first port development manager Stephen is excellent and does a great job.

I couldnt be more satisfied with the care and attention I have received from Marie in Homeburn House. She is exceptionally helpful and caring and I am delighted with all the assistance she has given my mum and myself since mum has become slightly less mobile.
A big thank you to Marie for your assistance

I recently moved into Homeross House in Edinburgh. I did a bit of research first as I was downsizing and was looking for a modern one bedroomed quiet warm flat not far from Leith where I am from. I am lucky as I still work 3 days and dont need any help at all..in fact Wes the manager questioned my age when I arrived.
This place is outstanding....Wes and Jamie couldnt be any more helpful although I dont need to see them! Gardens are lovely..laundry room is spotless..in fact the whole place is spotless. If you have any doubts about whether it right moving in to a retirement flat at 60 don't as you won't find anywhere as perfect as this....

Marie at HomeBurn House is an outstanding Manager. I got to know her really well through my cousin who was a resident until very recently. Marie was a source of great support to me and to my cousin when it was most needed. She is a person who cares and is very compassionate. Marie continues to be very supportive to me with some outstanding issues. HomeBurn House is a splendid place and gains immeasurably with Marie at its helm.

After sending many emails and calling many times... my issue was finally resolved. First port have many issues it seems as a company and you only have to look at their negative reviews to see.
A call centre in South Africa compounds the problem and no contact telephone number for the Pet Consent Department is bonkers... especially when they don't even reply to emails
Where FirstPort save on costs and service YOU as a customer loses time, money and sanity... good one FirtsPort... it's all about dat P R O F I T after all !! ; )

Advice - get new staff that care and managers that can manage!

Marion (The scheme manager) at Mayfield court, Edinburgh has been fantastic the whole 6 days we’ve been doing works here. She went above and beyond her duties helping us to get the works completed well ahead of schedule.
She even rented us the guest suite at the scheme and gave us recommendations on where to eat and drink after our shift.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Marion Lamb, Manager in Mayfield Court, Edinburgh for all the help and support she has provided to our cousin William Crease (Flat 417). The support Marion provided to William was definitely over and above what was expected of her and she was very good at keeping us (Williams family) informed if she had concerns about anything.
Marion is always very approachable and helpful and we would like to convey our sincere thanks to her. She is a real asset to your Company.

A huge influence on the success of living in a supported housing complex is down to the capability and attitude of the House Manager.
In Marion, we absolutely have a five star individual, who has a made a real difference to some of the standards in our building. The cleanliness of the public areas, the maintenance of the garden areas are just a couple where under Marion's management we have seen real improvements, while also having a very strong focus on the costs associated with the building.
Above all, however the the attitude that Marion brings to her work, the effort made to resolve any issues, often before they actually become issues, is of great value as a resident. Her friendly and supportive approach really makes a difference to our living at Mayfield Court.

Marion Lamb, our Development manager, in Mayfield Court, Edinburgh, is conscientious and diligent in carrying out her duties. She is fully knowledgeable in operating Firstport systems and engages fully with contractors working in the building. Often stays on after hours in cases of emergency.

Thank you to Marion Lamb, Manager in Mayfiled Court, for all the help and support beyond the call of duty, you have done for my mother Helen Adair and other residents. Staying with her, and contacting me yesterday was a God send.

I would like to say thank you to our manager at Mayfield Court , Marion Lamb.
She is always very professional in her duties,and keeps our building in very good order.
Marion has an excellent ability to be both kind and caring, however she can be firm when required.
We are very fortunate to have her, and I hope she’ll be an integral part of our little community, for many years going forward.

HERE,…EXPENSIVE BUT THIS PARTICULAR BLOCK IS IN EXCELLENT ORDER, LOVELY FLORAL GARDENS HOWEVER, MOST IMPORTANTLY. WE RESIDENTS HAVE A WONDERFULLY COMPETENT, CARING AND HONEST MANAGER (KAREN BERRY). I felt suicidal on arrival here 22/08/18. With the excellent management and care from MRS. BERRY I am now considerably less anxious and able to be more trusting than on arrival here. Mrs BERRY IS ALSO AN EXCELLENT ‘HOST’, PROVIDING EVENTS FOR THE RESIDENTS. She is empathetic and extremely patient with us all, nothing ever seems to be impossible for her undertaking.
Everyone is welcome to contact me for comment.

This is the worst company that we have ever encountered if you hold a leasehold property under their management. They never respond to emails then slam you with a letter stating if you don’t pay they’ll charge you fees. They increase service charges by 30% in one year and there’s nothing you can do about it because they know how to manipulate the law.

The worst company I have ever dealt with. We purchased a property managed by first port as the second owners. We paid approx £400 to change our names on the management accounts, we have since found out the previous owner also paid the same amount. So the best part of a grand later, and 15 months later, we are yet to receive a management bill, we want to move but have been advised the sale would fall through at the final hurdles as the estate management paperwork would not be able to be done as it is STILL in the previous owners names. We have had our solicitor forward duplicate correspondence, we have sent copious emails and made lots of phone calls. The stress of not knowing when this will be done and what kind of bill we will receive keeps me up a night and is causing significant stress. Literally the worst, most incompetent and uncaring organisation I have ever dealt with. Please avoid any property that may involve dealing with them for your own sake. There are literally Facebook support groups for people having to suffer by this organisations incompetence.
