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

Mustard Wharf was a fantastic place to live, it is near all local amenities and the events hosted by the management team here have been nothing short of fantastic.

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

They've responded promptly and with such efficiency that I don't remember the problem at all. When the issue is resolved so quickly the effect is minimized, that's what great management is about.

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

I would say the ability to contact and speak with someone here at Mustard Wharf is one of the biggest advantages of choosing it. Use those connections as it will make your stay here significantly better. (Also get fob added to the gym doors so you can use it ASAP).

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

There are a lot of local shops, bars and restaurants in the local area. Everything is quite close which is very ideal. The only thing which would make it better is extra parking since there isn’t much in the area.

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

They respond right away and get it sorted as soon as possible.

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

Everything was known beforehand. Tours around the building were given and all information was provided there and then. If not it was emailed straight to you.

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

Excellent location, right near the Granary Wharf which is the nicest place in Leeds (still somewhat of a hidden gem, along with Wellington Place). Nice and quiet area, barely any traffic noise, close to multiple bus stops and a Tesco express which is so helpful.

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

There's a really smooth and easy process to getting any problems fixed. You just submit a ticket via the app and they schedule the fix in very quickly, and are always nice, friendly, and helpful. The site manager (James Kennedy) should be particularly applauded, as he went above and beyond for us many times. A real pleasure to deal with, extremely helpful, kind, friendly, and competent.

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

How good the balconies are, how good the gym is, and how amazing the location is for Leeds (being close to Granary Wharf/ the canals and train station, less than 10 minutes walk).

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

The area around Phoenix is really convenient — there are lots of shops, cafes and supermarkets within walking distance, which makes daily life super easy. It’s also close to the city centre and transport links, so getting around Leeds is no problem at all. The neighbourhood feels safe and quiet most of the time, and I rarely notice any major noise or issues. It’s a great spot for students or young professionals who want things nearby without being right in the middle of the city’s busiest streets.

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

Whenever I’ve had a question or small issue, the management team responds quickly and politely. They actually listen and make sure things get sorted, which makes a big difference compared to other places I’ve lived.

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

I wish I had known how quickly the good apartments here get taken — if you’re thinking about moving in, definitely book early. Also, the building is super secure, which is great, but it can take a bit to get used to all the fob access points!
