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

Lovely surroundings Very close to the train station and city centre Nice cafes and restaurants within the complex Expensive and very limited car parking

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

All issues raised have been fixed promptly with no hassle

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

While I don't find it an issue due to not being as loud as I would expect and good soundproofing, it is worth knowing the trains do run until late and may disturb you if you struggle with noise at night.

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

The location of Granger is great. Walking distance is the Leeds city centre which has trains and coach services. For car - the M1 is 2 mins away. There is construction on one side but don’t really hear this much. There is underground parking for a fee but also a NPc car park opposite and on the street parking. There is a communal bin/recycle area which are sorted regularly.

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

The portal app is great. The team are really quick to reply to messages/emails/requests.

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

I wish the car parking shutter registered the number plate and auto opened.

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

Mustard Wharf is very well located by Leeds Station and 5-10 mins walk into the town center. Everything you need on your doorstep. I can't fault the area where the development is located. If you like city living, you'll love it here. Some of the best coffee shops are here and the area is great for families and students. There are still a lot of buildings being built near by so occasionally there is some noise.

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

I have not had any issues to report since living here.

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

I signed up to Beryl bikes recently but I could have made use of it sooner with the development discount.

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

Very close to town centre, train centre, bus station etc . Easy to get anywhere and close to a main road to can drive.

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

Quickly and swiftly and happily. When I get furniture delivered and I’m not going to be in, the management is always happy to let them in for me, etc they’re always happy to help

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

How loud the trains are, and how to work some of the appliances for example the water heater

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

Mustard Wharf was a fantastic place to live, it is near all local amenities and the events hosted by the management team here have been nothing short of fantastic.

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

They've responded promptly and with such efficiency that I don't remember the problem at all. When the issue is resolved so quickly the effect is minimized, that's what great management is about.

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

I would say the ability to contact and speak with someone here at Mustard Wharf is one of the biggest advantages of choosing it. Use those connections as it will make your stay here significantly better. (Also get fob added to the gym doors so you can use it ASAP).
