PLATFORM_ in Sheffield, S1

Nov 2025

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

The location is extremely convenient. It’s not in a noisy area, yet it’s also very close to all essential stores. For example, there are two supermarkets within walking distance, and the Moor Market is literally a 5-minute walk where you can find fresh fruits and vegetables. Decathlon is right in front of the building, offering high-quality sports, hiking, skiing, and outdoor equipment. For the bin collection, I only need to walk for one minute outside, which I actually like because it forces me to get some fresh air. The bins are taken out daily, so they never get smelly or overloaded. There are also two bars nearby, and gyms both inside the building and close by.

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

Very cooperative, fast, and smart. They solve any problem as soon as they can

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

I had no bad insight maybe because i took my time to view many buildings but cant find like platform. I even changed the apartment but inside the building due to my reasons. So i have no bad insight at all. Maybe if added some convenience parts in the gym, but all the essential parts are in it

Verified Resident

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

The local area is great and has a good mix of bars, restaurants, parks and shops. The location is close to the city centre so it’s very convenient.

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

The building management had always been happy to help and quick to deal with any queries.

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

I recommend having a look around the site before moving in to familiarise yourself with where facilities are. The post room, gym, lounges, roof terrace etc.

Central Living

J M (Tenant)

Verified Resident

The Junction, LS12

Nov 2025

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

The location and viaduct pathway are incredible – quick walks into town with great views. No traffic noise or pollution, surprisingly peaceful. Shops, bars and restaurants are 5–10 mins away, buses frequent, train station walkable. Bins are collected efficiently, but some lazy residents leave leaking bags or dump rubbish in lifts/hallways, causing occasional bin juice mess – annoying but not constant. Parking is permit-only and usually fine. It’s green, quiet and super convenient; easily one of the best central spots in Leeds.

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

Yes, the app is good for raising service requests. The reception is busy, however always able to speak to people. Emailing isn't as effective for formal communication. Solutions are always given, even if they're temporary workarounds.

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

Parking isn't guaranteed. Can recommend paying a bit more for a higher up apartment - views are worth it. Always try to speak to staff in person. Be prepared for heating / water niggles.
