John Smith Place, Tarbert

Located just off Campbeltown Road before the junction with Barrmore Road, John Smith Place is very close to the shore. The dental surgery is almost adjacent to the scheme and doctors' surgeries are close by. Within 200 yards you will find a local pub and a seafood restaurant, banks and a building society, and a range of local shops including a Co-op. The nearest Post Office is seven miles away in Tighnabruaich. The library is in Lochgilphead.

Completed in 1996, the development consists of twelve properties, two of which are shared ownership. All properties are double glazed and have electric heating.

The Association maintains communal garden grounds.

Scheme Management and Maintenance

John Smith Place is managed from the Association's Glasgow Housing Services Office whilst the Maintenance Department is based in the Edinburgh Office.

Applying for a House

If you would like to apply for a house, please make your application direct to our Housing Services Department in either our Edinburgh or Glasgow offices. Additionally, please apply to the Housing Department of your local council, with whom we have a nomination agreement.

Our turnover of tenancies is low so, regrettably, waiting lists do apply.

Rent and Service Charges

Rents and service charges are normally reviewed on an annual basis. Service charges cover various services such as landscaping and the replacement of equipment. All tenants receive a detailed Service Charge Statement every year.
