Parking Permit for Glasgow City Centre

[KaiserDahms]

I'm looking at buying a flat in town this summer and was curious about how the whole parking permit thing works for residents. The flats I've seen so far don't have off street parking so I'd need to park on the street. Am I correct in thinking that every household can have at least one parking permit?

I don't want to buy a flat then find out that I am not illegible for a permit and end up in a right mess.

You need to apply for a permit via the council. However you need to present your V5 which you'll need to change to your new address. Once you have done this the it can take a couple of weeks to process the application.

So by the time you have changed your V5 and got the permit you're talking a month.

I know of a car park you can use for free behind Mitchell library if that's any use?

Flat I'm looking at is in the opposite direction near the merchant city so is a bit of a trek for parking. Checking on the website it states this

"ELIGIBLE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY An eligible residential property is a dwelling house built or
converted, for residential use prior to 1st January 2000. GCC records will be checked to confirm this
criterion has been met. However, where this check is inconclusive, the applicant will be required to
provide documentary evidence in support of their application (title deeds) "

The flat was built after 2000 so wouldn't get a permit.
