West Yorkshire is a county in the north of England. It borders Greater Manchester to the south, Lancashire to the west and the East Riding of Yorkshire to the east. Made up of seven districts, Kirklees, Calderdale, Bradford, Wakefield, Leeds, Sheffield Hallam and York, it is home to some of the most beautiful landscapes and towns in the entire country. The administrative centre for West Yorkshire is Leeds, one of Britain’s leading business centres outside London, but there are other important towns such as Wakefield, Huddersfield and Bradford which all have their own strong economic bases.
Great place to live
Very close to town, a 5 min walk to the station and 10 mins into the centre. Lots of local bars and restaurants around, onsite gym and a tesco round the corner. No parking unless you pay per month for a parking space which you will first have to join the waiting list for a parking space to be available. Also no alternative parking in the area without paying overnight. Really safe community, and 24 hours concierge. Depending on which building you are in there is a main road outside which can be noisy, but other buildings overlook the canal. Also a couple of roof terraces which are lovely in summer and lots of residents events going on too.
Had some issues with our electricity as our supplier was switched a month in without our knowledge to Ovo energy and took 5 months to sort it out as we weren’t listed as living in the flat.
Please review your development:
Building is managed very well, cleaned regularly and always someone on hand to help with queries.
there are 3 new buildings in the development which are designed to a much higher standard than the original three, but all buildings are modern and apartments too. You can also go into each of the buildings to use their communal areas no matter which building your apartment is in.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Bills are on the pricier side, especially for our 1 bedroom flat where we hardly use the heating and electricity
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Smell of gas through the vents one evening, a member of maintenance came out immediately and said they would follow up with us but haven’t done – not sure if this was followed up internally
