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

Granary Quay is in a great location with easy access to all transport links including the airport. I used the Granary underground car park which ensured parking was never a problem. There are a good range of local shops, supermarkets , cafes, restaurants and bars within walking distance. Also there are lovely parks near by too.

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

I had an immediate response and the repair was completed on the same day

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

I believe I was made aware of everything before I moved in.

Leodis Square, LS11

Jun 2026

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

Close to the city centre, quiet, and relatively safe. Gym, common kitchen, working spaces are available and well maintained.

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

The maintenance team didn't show up on three of the appointments for the washer dryer issue, and then the appointment was rescheduled without any explanation.

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

There are no public laundry services around Leodis Square, making it even harder for me to wash my clothes.

Excellent place to live in Glasgow

Granary Quay, G11

Jun 2026

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

Our time spent at Granary Quay in Glasgow couldn't have been any better. The building is well taken care of and is located within close proximity of transport links to the city centre, airport and beyond. We made use of underground parking facilities so parking was never an issue for us.

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

Management was very proactive and took immediate action when we raised a concern related to other tenants within the building.

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

Everything was just as described and as expected following our viewing, with no surprises.

Forbes Place, AB21

Jun 2026

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

Overall, it’s a good area to live in. There is a decent range of local shops and green spaces nearby, and transport links are generally convenient. The street itself is usually quiet, with manageable parking, regular bin collections and no major issues with noise or anti-social behaviour.

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

Building management has responded very quickly to any problems or issues we have raised. Everything has been dealt with efficiently, and most issues are resolved almost immediately.

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

We moved here from central Aberdeen and actually prefer this area much more. The atmosphere feels calmer, there are plenty of nice places to walk nearby, and P&J Live is very convenient to have close by. One thing to know is that it can be a little noisy during the day because of planes and helicopters, but in a way it adds to the character of the area rather than being a major issue.
