TURA, Whitehall Road, Leeds

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

The local area offers a great mix of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance, making day-to-day life very convenient. There are also several pleasant open spaces nearby for walks and relaxing outdoors. Transport links are excellent, with good access to public transport and the city centre. On the street itself, parking can occasionally be limited and the bin storage area can sometimes become a little untidy, but overall the area feels safe, well-connected and enjoyable to live in.

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

The team have always been quick to respond to any maintenance requests or urgent matters.

One thing I wish I’d known before moving in is that while alterations and decorating are permitted, it can feel difficult to fully personalise your apartment. The walls come pre-painted and any changes need to be returned to their original condition when you move out. Because the skirting boards and woodwork are colour-drenched to match the walls, even relatively simple decorating projects can become more time-consuming and costly than expected. It’s not a major issue, but it’s something worth considering if you’re someone who likes to put your own stamp on your living space.

Overall we are so happy with mustard wharf. It’s super close to town, the proximity to the train station was a real selling point for us. You have some great local pubs nearby, midnight bell being a fave of ours. It can get a little noisy but the windows shut out the noise, just when it’s warm and you want windows open it can be a little noisy but I think that’s down to some current building works happening on a seperate building which is at no fault of the development here. I love our building - Lockside! It’s got two gorgeous outdoor spaces too. Reception too! So easy to have food and parcels deliveries and it’s a fab system! Bin collections are grand. No notes, we are very happy

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

Yes,very quick to fix any issues and always so helpful and lovely.

My only thing is that it does get quite warm in the summer… but it’s been unusually hot so I can’t really say much, but it’s well insulated with the concrete inside (which I love) just hard to cool down in the summer!

Fantastic location & the onsite facilities such as shop, bar, pool & gym are amazing. The terrace is great in nice weather. Very disappointed in the 3 restaurants here, such a shame there isn’t a better choice. However there are some great restaurants within walking distance. It’s a shame there aren’t any hair or beauty options on site, there is a barber but for nails, waxing & ladies hairdressers there is nothing onsite or nearby. Onsite car park is great but very expensive & priced increased over 10% within 2 weeks of us moving in.

There are a lot of young students here, It gets very hot inside the apartments in summer The sense of community is amazing & beyond our expectations, The furniture is extremely uncomfortable & the sofa is almost on floor level! We expected basics in the kitchen like a pull out tap & an induction hob, but we don’t have either here.
