Happy with a great maintenance team but management isnt greatj

Monnie (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Junction, LS12

Apr 2026

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

The maintenance team at the junction are very good, they're prompt and provide an excellent service. Parking availability is terrible there is only 1 or 2 guest parking for the entire development.

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

Management disregards most feedback nothing gets done unless you follow up every few days, the residents have brought up many issues and theres always the "we'll look into it" but never do. 5 months to get a car park shutter is just too long its a huge security concern that has been brought up many times before

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

Hot water supply has been a rolling issue, as well as security concerns that don't get taken very seriously, multiple bicycles have been stolen from bicycle storage which has resident fob access rather keep your bicycle in your apartment if you can
