A guide to living in Scotland

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

Great selection of restaurants, bars & shops in a mostly beautiful neighbourhood. We were told before moving in that the derelict lot behind the building would become a park but no progress has been made so far. This means the back alley of the building can feel sketchy at times. Transport links are great with a bus stop right outside the front door and train less than 5 minutes walk away.

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

Maintenance issues are always dealt with promptly and professionally.

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

That the courtyard and rooftop terraces would be closed through the height of summer awaiting a health and safety review.

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

I like the area a lot specially the Starbucks and the west end I think it’s very safe. I’m very community different.

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

Great straightaway love it caught me better. Why would you hit this place?

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

Good would recommend this place to everyone yes, yes

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

Great location close to excellent transport links for both public transport and drivers. Good variety of local shops as well as supermarkets within walking distance. On street parking can be challenging at times but you can usually find a space. Parking is available in the underground car park at an additional cost. There are plenty of open spaces to enjoy in and around Granary Quay. Victoria Park is a short 15 minute or so walk with your dog (GQ allows pets in certain apartments). In 6 months of living at Granary Quay we have not encountered any anti-social behaviour, and traffic noise is not an issue either.

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

Any problems or issues raised have been noted and acted upon quickly. Maintenance issues have been resolved in a reasonable turn- around time.

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

Most things were covered in our viewing. Try to get a car park space close to the entrance coned off for access when moving in - reception can assist if advised in advance.

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

So far so good, i have access to everything within a 5 minute walk. Everything is close by. It is very convenient for me to commute to work by train as the train station is very close.

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

They have responded very kindly in general, but i have not reported any major issues as of yet.

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

I knew everything before I moved in as i had a friend already here.

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

The location is great and so is the access to public transit. The building is well designed. The common area is a great aspect as well.

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

They respond quickly and are on top of building maintenance.

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

Everything has been great and I could not think of anything I wish I would have known beforehand.
