A guide to living in Yorkshire and the Humber

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

Fantastic Location, with Crossgates just 10 minutes walk away, the Springs / Thorpe Park close by. Have a great Social Club close by too for a quiet drink. The area is quiet, very rarely hear much noise on a night, and it is only getting better as the construction phase comes to an end. Bin collections were a nightmare when I first moved in as I was the first person on the development for a few months, but now everything is like clockwork.

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

Yes, any issues I have raised have been resolved very quickly such as some Hemlock growing on the communal areas.

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

I wish I knew how challenging it is to live on a new development, in terms of initially getting bins collected, and also arranging deliveries to a street that doesnt appear on many maps.

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

The location is excellent. There are many local shops, restaurants and bars in the local town which is walkable distance. As the property is still being developed the roads aren’t fully complete yet but the builders do take care and ensure to clean and keep the road clear.

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

Yes, I had an issue with my heating when I first moved into the property and they came and sorted it out for me.

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

Overall I don’t think there is anything further I wanted to know before I moved into the property. From viewing to getting into the property is was very seamless.

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

We like the area. There are not as many amenities close by as in our previous tenancy, however there is everything that we need. We both drive and it is a good location, and transport links are very easily accessible. Having allocated parking and available visitors spaces is a big positive for us. We have not noticed any anti-social behaviour or problems with traffic noise. As the development is so high up, when we walk around the area we can hear traffic from the city below us, however we do not notice this noise when inside the property.

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

as of yet we have not needed to report any problems

Really local to Leeds central town is only a 20 min walk away, great transport links and a shop right opposite for any last min needs. The noise was fine.

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

Swiftly and easily solved, I didn’t have many issues at all during my time there
