A Guide to Living in Leeds

Please review your development:

The Court building is a beautifully restored old college structure with a well-designed interior. It features a large garden with a bicycle storage area and two rooftops on the second building, “The Garden,” which was constructed more recently. The apartments are well-designed, offering ample storage and useful furniture. The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, combination oven/microwave, small fridge, and electric hob, making it highly functional. Both buildings and all amenities are accessible to residents. Inside, the design is thoughtful and functional, with several communal lounges for socializing, though some lounges need minor maintenance, such as replacing lost TV remotes and fixing broken couches.
There’s also a small gym on-site, which is a nice addition, though it lacks essential equipment like weight plates for bench press. Other amenities include a small workspace and a playroom with table tennis, a dartboard, and a small billiard table, though the cues need replacing. The absence of washing machines in studios means residents rely on the laundry room, which can be a bit pricey. Overall, the facilities are good, but a few improvements could enhance the living experience.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that not all sides of the building receive the same amount of sunlight as usual. In particular, apartments facing the back courtyard can be quite dark throughout the day. During my viewing, I wasn’t shown the exact apartment flat that I now live in, so I didn’t realize this aspect until after moving in

Great facilities, great interior design, issues do occur like any other business but staff are attentive and deal with the issue. And the staff at the concierge desk are absolutely amazing especially Sharri, nothing is ever too big of an ask. She is so helpful and bubbly, great to have a chat with and such a lovely lady I have never seen her without a smile on her face! Charlotte and Lydia are also great, so welcoming and always ready to help both lovely girls 🙂

Nothing bad but would defiantly recommend getting a air con unit for anyone who is moving onto a high floor apartment especially with pets. As I have a cat and I’m on the 13th floor and because I cannot open my window it was very very hot in the summer!

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

Ailsa is 10/10 when it comes to dealing with issues, very professional but also understanding and makes sure all issues, concerns or worries are dealt with promptly!

No anti social behaviour. Neighbourhood geeks very friendly.

Building management and property management is excellent.

Apartment design are good but not as functional as it could be. Storage is a struggle in this apartment. The kitchen is also not well designed as there isn’t enough counter space and storage space. The sink in the kitchen splashes everywhere and there is no drain for dishes

I don’t have enough feedback here as Michael did an amazing job when he was showing us the flats

The management is excellent. I have to shout out Ellen as I am very grateful to her for how enjoyable she made the move in process and my first week in Mustard Wharf. I was already very excited to move in and her friendliness and willingness to assist in any way possible only increased my excitement further. Nothing was too much trouble and none of my silly questions were too silly! She smoothly took me through all of the practicalities/logistics, and took her time to explain things I didn’t understand. She came herself to my apartment to listen to my maintenance query and help out in any way she could before maintenance could. I cannot thank Ellen enough and it highlights the exceptional level of service provided by those working at Mustard Wharf.
