Review of altitude.

Altitude at Phoenix, LS9

Nov 2025

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

There are plenty of amenities close by, and it is a very short walk to the town centre. There is some street parking available, but it is for permit holders only, which limits those who can visit by driving.

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

I had issues with the maintenance of my toilet which was solved quickly. I found communication easy and the issue was fixed quickly.

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

The variety and social aspect of the events organised at the building are a great selling point.

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

Great location, near a lot of supermarkets, Asda, Tesco, Aldi and Crossgates shopping centre, are all at a walking distance. Nearby transport with a short bus ride to the city centre, designated parking spot in the complex, it is a nice place to live.

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

Yes, issues I’ve had in the past have always been responded to in a timely manner

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

That if you want to carry on a tenancy once it’s ended the management will constantly put the price of the rent up every time, doesn’t matter if you are a loyal tenant.

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

being in the city centre, it is ideally located with a range of supermarkets and coffee shops nearby.

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

The building management always helped me with whatever problems I had expect for the fact they enter my apartment without my knowledge. I would like it better If I got a previous notice at least. I’d also like if they don’t open the door if there was no response and maybe send and email to reschedule.

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

if you are looking to pay the rent upfront for six months, they take the second installment of 6 months after month 4.

Manager response

Hi Jouri Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback we really appreciate your kind words about the team. I’m really sorry to hear that you’ve felt uncomfortable about the access process. I want to reassure you that we always aim to give clear notice before any visit. For building wide inspections, it can be quite a challenge to coordinate access across 331 apartments, which is why we send an email in advance advising the date and time window. We completely understand that you may not always want entry on the proposed date. If that’s ever the case, simply leaving a note on your door beforehand will ensure our team does not enter, and we will happily arrange an alternative appointment that works for you. If you ever have any concerns around access or would prefer a specific arrangement going forward, please let me know I’m more than happy to assist. Thanks again for your feedback and for being part of our community. Warm regards
