A guide to living in Yorkshire and the Humber

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

Location is excellent. Perfect for access to public transport, restaurants, etc. only negatives are the noise created by youth through the night in Pounds Park-east side of building— and new construction to the south of building.

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

Prompt, professionally; just as you would hope. The app makes it easy to log a concern.

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

How noisy Pounds Park is at night. I would have stayed on the courtyard side of building and not street side. How wasteful the residents are: they throw away too much of their barely used household items; one could literally furnish their entire apartment from the bins!

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

Local area is amazing. Only 10 mins walk from the train station, and a good selection of restaurants and cafes nearby. Good options for supermarkets too, and very convenient for workplaces being so close to Wellington Place.

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

Any issues are uploaded onto an online system and quickly resolved, very easy and straightforward.

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

One thing I hadn’t fully appreciated before moving in was just how useful the communal facilities would be. Having access to a gym, comfortable lounges and communal spaces really adds to the experience of living here. I’d definitely recommend making the most of everything the building has to offer, as there’s much more to it than just the apartment itself.

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

Very peaceful area that’s quiet and convenient for commuting and is close to many amenities. The only thing that’s a little annoying is it’s tricky to get to any major supermarkets.

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

Any issues have been dealt with promptly and easily. It’s great that there are staff onsite all the time to help with any issues.

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

How quiet it is - we thought the trains might be a bit noisy but it’s not a problem, more just background noise. And we honestly wouldn’t know we have neighbours at all!

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

Lots of amenities in the city centre which is just a 10 kin walk. Area is safe and pleasant to live in.

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

Reported one issue as high priority. Still waiting multiple days later. (Struggling with key fob access).

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

Seems to be very student heavy in terms of tenants.

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

A very central location. The train station is down the road and the university is only a 20 minute walk away. Being so close to Wellington Place gives the atmosphere of the area a very safe and prestigious feel. Tesco express and Sainsbury Local are only a short walk away and numerous dining options available to residents in the vicinity.

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

They've responded very quickly to anything I have raised!

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

I wish I knew that there were available trollies for my boxes - otherwise I wouldn't have hired movers for my stuff!
