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

Very good area, easy to get to Leeds city centre with frequent buses. Building itself is quiet ( to note not all flats are yet occupied). Was allocated a parking space so no issues on thay side. Close to shops, Gyms and food place. Bins were full for a month. I know thay management were adressing it with the local authority and I also reported it few times and it has now been collected. However post is yet to be delivered, it’s been a month since I’ve moved into the property and haven’t received any bills.

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

Prompt responses and dealt with issues in a reasonable time.

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

I wish I knew that curtains poles don’t come with the flat and you need to buy and install your own.

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

I love the proximity to the city centre and the ease of access to the centre from the tram stop just outside. There's lots of nearby places for food and drink and it is closely located to Kelham island which is a thriving place. We have had no issues living on this street, and there is no noise from the nearby roads

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

They have answered quickly to any issues and communicate well in advance as to estimated times/dates they arrive to fix any issues, which is useful.

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

I wish I had known more about activities occuring when I moved in

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

The James is located in Sheffield city centre, offering considerable convenience for daily life. The University of Sheffield, Division Street, and the main shopping streets are all within walking distance. A wide selection of cafés, restaurants, and bars is also nearby. Tram stops on West Street provide convenient access to the city, while the train station is a short journey away. The main drawback is that West Street can be lively and noisy on weekend evenings, making the area best suited to those who enjoy being at the centre of the city’s activity.

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

Excellent. Whenever I have raised a question or required flexibility, the team has responded promptly, clearly explained my options, and identified a practical solution. I have always felt heard.

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

Go to the community events early on. They are the easiest way to meet people, and I wish I had started sooner.

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

We have been living here for a year now and we absolutely love everything about living here. The flat is very close to the city centre, so everything is within walking distance.

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

Very rapidly and always willing to help. There was never a day where we felt frustrated by something not been resolved.

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

They have números residents’ events, which gives the opportunity to meet other people. Really enjoy free hot drinks.
