Great location and transport links. I personally don’t get affected by any noise either

York & Elder, BN1
This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0.
Great place to live at
Excellent facilities, including a garbage chute! Very responsive team. Would have liked to have a microwave as well. But everything else is very good. The large windows are probably my favourite feature. However I have heard some tenants complaining about pigeons.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Very close the the Brighton main station, and Sainsbury's. Also very close the the bus station. London Road however is not my favourite place.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very prompt responses. Easy to reach 3ven visa WhatsApp.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing worth mentioning in this box. Everything is as expected.

Beans and I are settling in nicely 🐱❤️
I’ve only recently moved into Mustard Wharf, but I’m genuinely loving it so far. The building is beautiful, the facilities are great and it’s been such a positive experience from day one.
A huge shoutout to Kourtney, who was amazing throughout the move-in process. Moving is stressful enough as it is, but she was always friendly, helpful and quick to answer any questions I had, which made everything run so much more smoothly.
The staff in general have all been lovely and welcoming, and it’s clear they genuinely care about the residents. I’ve already made use of the work from home spaces and they’ve been brilliant, especially as I’ll be starting my PhD soon. I haven’t attended any resident events yet, but I love that the building puts them on as it’s a great way to meet people and build a community.
One of my favourite things is the 24-hour concierge. As someone living alone, it adds an extra level of security and peace of mind, and the building feels very safe.
It’s still early days, but my first impressions have been excellent and I’m really happy I chose to live here.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is honestly one of the best things about living here. You’re right by the city centre, Leeds station and Granary Wharf, so everything is within walking distance. There are loads of restaurants, bars, cafés and shops nearby, and the transport links are great. I’ve only just moved in, but so far the area feels safe, clean and well looked after. I haven’t experienced any issues with noise or anti-social behaviour, and it’s nice being close to the canal and green spaces while still being in the middle of everything.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I’ve only recently moved in, so I haven’t had any major issues to raise yet. I did note a few minor items on my inventory that are still waiting to be resolved, but it’s very early days and I’m confident they’ll be dealt with. So far, whenever I’ve had questions or needed assistance, the management team have been friendly, approachable and quick to respond. Everyone I’ve spoken to has been helpful and made the move-in process much smoother.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One thing I’d recommend is taking some time to explore the area when you first move in. Being so close to the station, city centre, restaurants and cafés is even more convenient than it looks on a map. As someone about to start a PhD, I wanted somewhere that felt safe, practical and comfortable, and so far it’s ticked all those boxes. It already feels like somewhere I can properly settle into rather than just somewhere I’m renting.

A Flat That Truly Feels Like a Safe Home :)
My overall impression is that the flat is built to a high standard, using quality materials, and the furniture comes from good brands. Throughout my stay, I have not experienced any issues with the facilities or appliances provided in the apartment.
The layout and design of the flat give you the flexibility to create a home that you truly want!
One aspect that particularly stands out is the cleanliness of the communal areas. The reception, gym, study and games room, and corridors are consistently well maintained and always feel fresh and clean, which shows good property management.
Although the rent may seem slightly expensive at first, considering the quality of the accommodation, the facilities provided, and the overall living experience, I believe the cost is justified.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
its close to everywhere! Close to new street station, coach station, shopping centre and more!
Thats an amazing location!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They are good at this and I have no more comment to add
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
If you’re considering a first-floor flat with a balcony or large windows above the parking area, keep in mind that it can become quite cold during the winter months. As a result, you may need to use the heating more often, which could lead to higher electricity bills.

So much potential, but wasted by poor service
A nice building let down by poor property management. They are nonsensically slow to reply to issues / messages, and when they do, it can still take a long time to resolve issues. We have a leaking washing machine - 6 weeks later, and 3 visits of contractors later, it is still leaking. What they should have done was replace my washing machine with a functional one, and taken the faulty one away for repair. Instead, I have had to take time off from work, get my floor wet every time I do laundry, and chase them for follow ups.
We lost hot water for 4 days, and communication during that time was sub-bar. For the impact that had on everyone, we were offered in the region of 20 pounds rent reduction - which actually just felt offensive.
It is just such a shame, as they could do so much better.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
A nice development, in close proximity to major supermarkets and other high street stores. Lack of good coffee in the area, and after 2 years, the lower ground commercial units are still unfilled, which makes it look unfinished. Surely some attractive (or free) rates could help inject some local business (e.g., cafe?) to the development.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
With massive delays and non-useful solutions. This is an experience felt widely by people, as you can read in other comments. When you have on-site staff, you expect swift action and attention. The front desk staff are friendly, but don't seem to be in-sync with what's going on with issues and management.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The buildings get very hot in the summer, as is typical for many modern London developments. Without aircon, it will be a struggle as summers continue to get hotter.
On the positives, I have been pleasantly surprised by the safety and relative calmness of the area.
