Yorkshire and the Humber

Sitting directly north of the East Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber has a history strongly connected to the steel, coal and farming industries. Although still a major player in the UK’s energy industry, the region is still adjusting to the move towards cleaner fuels and cheap steel imports. However, Leeds is a thriving finance and business hub, while Sheffield has enjoyed a strong resurgence in recent years as a centre for the creative arts and music. Grimsby is the centre of the UK’s fishing industry, with agriculture and food processing also providing a major source of income for the region.

Yorkshire and the Humber counties

South Yorkshire

Formed of the districts of Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster, South Yorkshire is the southernmost area within Yorkshire and the Humber. The Pennines dominate the county’s landscape, with part of the Peak District National Park lying within South Yorkshire.

West Yorkshire

West Yorkshire constitutes five metropolitan boroughs: City of Bradford, City of Leeds, Calderdale, Kirklees and City of Wakefield. Bradford, Halifax and Huddersfield were strongly connected to England’s wool industry, with much of their history and architecture dictated by it, while Leeds and the south of the county are more connected to heavy engineering industries.

East Riding of Yorkshire

The East Riding’s name comes from the traditional titles for three of Yorkshire’s smaller regions: the East, West and South Ridings. The East Riding retains the name and is bounded to the south by the Humber Estuary and to the east by the North Sea.

North Yorkshire

England’s largest non-metropolitan county, North Yorkshire is famous for the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales National Parks. Middlesbrough and York are its two largest urban settlements, while other key towns include Harrogate and Scarborough.

Convinient, comfortable and generally great property.

A lovely property, although the immediate environment isn’t the best in terms of proper waste management. Great location aswell, as it’s proximal to basic amenities such as shops of all kinds.

Please review your development:

The property is well structured, with all necessary appliances. Not the best with a storage space as it’s quite small, but it’s serves perfectly in terms of a family home. I also love the idea of having a downstairs toilet, so unique and convenient. Although a standing shower would have been preferred over a bathtub for ease particularly considering people who are bigger in size or taller, but the current appears to be manageable.

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

The type of environment, as Ive observed some level of loitering which makes me feel a bit paranoid when taking a walk. Also the size of the storage space which I find quite small

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

I haven’t exactly had any urgent issues raised but the agency has been generally informative and responsive

Exceptional Experience

Review Date Mar 2024

Very nice and safe area with large student population. There are diverse stores and restaurants at a walking distance. Nice green areas, trees, and birds away from the noise of the city. Though the city centre is at short distance from this area. There is good number of bus stops directly outside the gate of my property which is an advantage, however the bus service (in Leeds in general) seems to be average to poor most of the time for being late or even canceled. Luckily the University of Leeds campus is 20 minutes away only (walking).

Please review your development:

Exceptional place. The flat is spacious with large windows and lovely view of trees and beautiful houses. The flooring (parquet), furniture and appliances are of high standards. Very clean building and communal areas with security, maintenance and extremely friendly staff. There is a space for parcel lockers which is an advantage. What I found special about this place is that it is very quite due to perfect soundproofing, and is pet-friendly as well. There is a residents’ lounge which is very cozy and welcoming for study, reading, or a chat complemented with free coffee and tea. This beautiful experience overall comes with a reasonable rent and pre-installed services like Wifi router and smart utility meter.

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

I didn’t know that I had the largest flat at the building, I felt lucky and definitely happy with my tenancy agreement. I only wish for two things to be available in the future, for the flat to be fitted with a microwave, and to have our own gym.

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

Extremely friendly staff, approachable, and responds immediately to face-to-face inquiries, emails and maintenance requests (even before the tenant noticed and raised any concerns). They are so attentive to resident’s needs, safety, and comfort and always ready and willing to go the extra mile.

Excellent living area with many restaurants nearby.

Review Date Mar 2024

Really nice area with a few restaurants nearby, a tesco express that’s less than a 10 min walk away and a bus stop and it’s very close to the train station.

Please review your development:

Lots of facilities are available including a gym, a common area, a library, and a few terraces. All of them are free and easy to access making living at mustard wharf fantastic. The building management is great with fast response to queries and issues.

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

Everything met my expectations therefore there is nothing I wish I knew beforehand.

Aaliyah has been a great receptionist always welcoming tenants with a smile. She’s very helpful when it comes to queries and always responds in a kind manner.
