Mustard Wharf at Tower Works, LS1

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

In terms of the area, everything is excellent. It takes less than 10 minutes to get to the station. The area feels busy at some times, but peaceful to live. Bin collection is efficient. There's no traffic noise. It's a really lovely area to live in.

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

Immediately fixed an issue with the door. Offered a lot of options when there were noise issues.

I do wish I'd been told my apartment was above an empty space that was then redeveloped with very noisy works. This is half on me, I wish I had chance to get to the property to view it before I secured it. But I also do wish the sales team had told me it was above a commercial space. I found out 3 days after moving in that works would be taking place throughout my entire tenancy. This was, unfortunately, just bad timing. And the building management did offer alternative solutions and were very responsive to my complaints. I would say if you work from home do be wary about getting a first floor apartment as the works are very loud given the fact they need to install ceiling, fixtures, etc, from scratch.

Mustard Wharf is in a fantastic location, especially if you need easy access to transport links. I work in the rail industry, so being less than a 5-minute walk from Leeds Station has been a huge benefit and makes commuting incredibly convenient. The area has a great mix of cafes, restaurants and bars, and we especially love living opposite BAKE for coffee and treats. There are also plenty of nice places to walk nearby, including along the canal, which makes the area feel relaxed despite being so central. We’ve found the area feels safe, friendly and well connected, and there’s a nice community atmosphere around the development.

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

Any issues or requests I’ve raised have generally been handled quickly and professionally. When we first moved in, I requested a few adjustments to the flat and the maintenance team sorted everything out efficiently and without any fuss. The only situation where I felt communication could have been better was regarding a parking space enquiry after concerns were raised by another resident about possible rodent-related vehicle damage in the car park. While the management team did respond promptly and explain the preventative measures in place, I personally didn’t feel fully reassured by the communication around the issue and ultimately decided not to proceed with the parking contract. Aside from that isolated experience, building management have been excellent overall.

I wish I’d known how much of a community feel Mustard Wharf actually has compared to most city centre developments. The resident events, rooftop spaces and gym make it much easier to meet people and socialise than I expected, and I’ve genuinely made friends through living here. I’d also say it’s worth considering parking costs in advance if you own a car, as city centre parking can be expensive. However, the location itself is fantastic, especially for commuting or working in Leeds city centre.

Mustard Wharf sits 10-15 minutes walk from the city centre, with Trinity Leeds mall nearby for daily essentials from M&S and a solid range of food options including McDonald's, Burger King, Chick-fil-A and Subway. Leeds train station is five minutes on foot, putting Manchester and London within easy reach. For exercise, the Leeds-Liverpool canal makes for a good running route right on your doorstep.

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

The maintenance team is responsive and professional. A special mention to Laura and her team for re-tiling the flooring efficiently across just two half-days — impressive turnaround.

I wish i knew the childcare 2 minutes away was closed!

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

The location is perfect here. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the train station for weekend getaways, about 10 or less to city centre (great for shopping, events, or a taxi-free night out), but yet just far away that it’s pleasant and quiet, and away from all the commotion. The canal is also fantastic for strolls and runs. Also, Bake and 92º are right here, as if that's not enough!! Plus some great pubs just to the south, some fun venues under the train arches, and more

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

Building management is very fast to respond to any issues, and aims to have things resolved within just a day or two at most.

Parking has a very long waiting list (6+ months?), so if needed, get your request in as soon as you sign the papers
