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

We have lots of places extremely close by that offer great food and an environment to have a good time. All of it, without making the neighbourhood noisy. The train station is literally stones throw from our building, and yet it’s peaceful and quiet here.

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

Exceptionally well. We have never had to wait more than the designated time to get issues resolved. And like I mentioned in my comments earlier, the front of house team alongside the maintenance teams, leave no stone unturned.

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

If you have a car, do check for parking and the availability of space with your apartment. There are limited spaces. However, we didn’t need to buy a car because the public transport links are all just a short walk away - and the city centre is itself a 5-8 minute walk away.

Spinners Yard is in a convenient location, with local shops, restaurants and other amenities easily accessible. Transport links are useful for getting around and commuting, which makes day-to-day life easier. The area is generally pleasant for living, and having amenities nearby is a real advantage. Overall, it is a good location for someone looking for convenience and accessibility. As I am still relatively new to the area, I am continuing to explore more of the local facilities and surroundings.

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

I haven’t had any significant issues to raise so far, so I can’t comment fully on how they handle problems. However, I’ve seen the team actively maintaining the building, which gives me confidence in their efficiency. My experience with the team has been positive to date.

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

Close to the bus station and so close to headrow. Very convenient to get into the centre of town. There are a lot of bus routes along the way as well. About a 25 minute walk from the station

Very quick to respond although I haven't really needed any maintenance as the flat was pretty perfect

It is very close to Leeds college so a few students around during the day. It is a lovely place to live.

Area is great, interiors are modern and comfortable. Bins need regular collection, mail still hasn’t been delivered into one of the newer buildings.

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

All prompt and been fixed with exception of choice to lock access to the street.

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

Just how long construction is intended to take, the builders regularly block the access to the garage and take ages to move out of the way - very frustrating when trying to get to work.
