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

The shops nearby and outdoor space is great, great to be so near the canal. There are various bar options in the close vicinity and access to transport is fast and easy with the train station being only a 8 minute walk. Bin collections are very frequent meaning they are never full. Barely any traffic noise with windows shut.

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

Yes, all responses were given quickly and to a high level of attention to detail showing genuine care to fix the issue when it arises.

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

Apartments don’t come with an intercom so when visitors come you have to come down and get them.

I would highly recommend Awais for his excellent service and professionalism. He showed us the house we wanted to rent and was incredibly thorough throughout the whole process. Once we were accepted, he personally made sure we received the keys and that everything was in order. Awais genuinely went the extra mile to make the whole experience smooth and stress-free. He was helpful, responsive, and made us feel well looked after from start to finish. His hard work and dedication definitely deserve recognition — and in my opinion, a bonus! Thank you, Awais, for all your help and excellent service.

The estate is lovely, road isn’t quite finished yet but they are still building so I expect this will follow shortly after so it’s not ruined by construction traffic

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

All issues have been actioned same day and assigned contractors

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

How awkward energy companies are with setting up solar panels- aside from that Awais covered everything and was very thorough

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

The local area offers a good balance of convenience and quick access to the countryside. There are several supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants within a short walk, with larger shopping centres easily accessible nearby. There are plenty of green spaces, walking routes and parks, making it ideal for outdoor activities. Public transport is very close, with regular train services and good road links to the motorway network. The area feels very safe and friendly.

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

On the few occasions I've needed to report an issue, the building management has responded promptly and professionally. Communication has been excellent, updates have been provided throughout, and any maintenance work has been completed efficiently with minimal disruption.

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

I wish I had known just how much the communal facilities would add to the overall living experience. The shared spaces, gym and resident events really help create a sense of community, and the location makes it easy to enjoy everything Leeds city centre has to offer without needing a car. My tip for new residents would be to make full use of the amenities they're one of the best aspects of living at Mustard Wharf.

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

The location is next to Wellington Place in Leeds, so you can imagine how pleasant the surrounding area is, there are no rough sleepers around the nearby Sainsbury's Local. It's amazing. Besides, It's just a few minute walk to Leeds Station.

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

When I had trouble connecting to the internet, the staff were very patient and helped me immediately. In the end, it turned out to be my own issue with the VPN, but they were still very helpful and supported me in getting it sorted out.

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

Ha Ha, Such a good environment, I wish to move in as early as possible, My pervious BTR was too terrible.
