Pin Yard, LS11

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

Fairly close to the city centre. Crown point shopping centre is close by and the area is a safe place to live in.

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

Fairly helpful and quick to answer when working but when they aren’t it’s difficult to get help

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

There’s a large rent increase after the first year

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

Excellent location, only a 10 minute walk to the city! Parking availability is rare, so if you can, get a private space in the flat. There is a retail shopping park literally 10 mins walk or a short 4-6 mins drive!

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

Usually very quick to respond. I had an issue with my windows, and it was sorted within 2-3 weeks.

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

I wish I’d known how important it is to have a management team that cares about your tenancy experience, always keep this in mind when you’re viewing flats. It’ll make or break your living experience.

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

Since moving to the pin yard I’ve settled in easily and loved staying here. I have the city centre a 10 minute walk from my doorstep so the location is ideal.

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

I’ve had very little issues since moving in but any time I’ve asked for help the management team have responded instantly with a smile on face.

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

The building can get rather hot during summer time as I’m on the 4th floor

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

Great transport links as it is really close to the station. Could have a few better shops and pubs around etc but overall very good area

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

Super fast and efficient. Easy to contact and very responsive

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

Maybe when touring / signing the flat mention more about the social activities that are hosted such as the Xmas and summer socials.

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

Not a lot around compared to other apartment blocks but it’s a very easy walk in to town! Sometimes noise from the courtyard can be heard during the night but this is due to residences not obeying the 9pm closing time rather than an issue of the building.

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

Yes they have responded quickly to issues I have raised.

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

There is no parking for visitors inside the building car park.
