Fabulous Living in Granary Quay

Helendee (Tenant)

Granary Quay, G11

Feb 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

What a wonderful place to live . The apartment and the location are exactly what we were looking for with great local amenities and transport links across Scotland . Securing an underground parking space in Glasgow is an essential and Granary Quay could provide this.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

I found the whole GQ management team to be so helpful and supportive in so many ways . I can honestly say that I interacted with everyone and found them to be so eager to assist and make my experience there of such a high standard. I would like to thank Hannah, Gemma, Laurie, Eilidh, Emily and Jordan for their assistance they are an excellent team of people

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I had all of the information I required to make my decision

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

There are so many shops and restaurants around, as it is such a central location. Also there are extremely good transport links (Argyle Street / Glasgow Central).

I have not yet encountered any issues but anytime I have a general question or want the building management have been so friendly and always incredibly helpful.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I was offered everything I could have asked for prior to moving in, the staff set up a personalised video tour and helped me with questions relating to bills, Scottish council tax, and more.

The Dalian, G2

Feb 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Dalian has such a convenient location, being so close to both the city centre and the west end of Glasgow. There are many transport links nearby including bus stops and train stations. There are plenty of shops, cafes, restaurants, and bars in the area. Despite being by the motorway, the traffic noise is quiet due to the triple glazed windows. The area is safe and the building is very secure!

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

When experiencing any issues, the management is very quick to look into the problem and resolve this for you. The management welcome feedback and are quick to act on this!

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

It would be beneficial to see some photos of the amenities prior to moving in as this gives a more accurate vision of what to expect from Dalian!
