Placefirst, Radial Park

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

Crossgates is a really convenient area to live, with a good range of local shops, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs and takeaways nearby. There are also plenty of green spaces, including Manston Park. Transport links are good, with regular buses and trains into Leeds and easy access to the main roads. There is occasionally some noise from the railway works nearby, but it isn’t particularly bad or disruptive. Overall, it’s a convenient and pleasant area with everything you need close by.

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

A few issues when we moved in, as the house was quite dusty. There was also some confusion around when the check-in report had been completed, as we had understood it would be done on the day we moved in.

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

There are lots of vents which are noisy and let in quite a lot of cool air, definitely will be colder in the winter.

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

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

Great location. Bus stop very close with regular service into Leeds, very close to motorway links, train station a short drive away. Also very close access to public footpaths in greenbelt. Shops, restaurants and cinema 15 minute walk away at The Springs so fantastic access to amenities. Each property has off street parking for (at least) 2 cars so good parking availability.

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

Yes they have. Also come to the house in person to follow up on a query.

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

I had not appreciated the initial inconvenience of living on a new development/an in progress development with regards to people (deliveries) being able to locate the property and the additional dust/dirt / noise created from the ongoing building work. This will soon pass but while the estate is pending completion this will affect properties closest to the ongoing development.

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

Fantastic Location, with Crossgates just 10 minutes walk away, the Springs / Thorpe Park close by. Have a great Social Club close by too for a quiet drink. The area is quiet, very rarely hear much noise on a night, and it is only getting better as the construction phase comes to an end. Bin collections were a nightmare when I first moved in as I was the first person on the development for a few months, but now everything is like clockwork.

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

Yes, any issues I have raised have been resolved very quickly such as some Hemlock growing on the communal areas.

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

I wish I knew how challenging it is to live on a new development, in terms of initially getting bins collected, and also arranging deliveries to a street that doesnt appear on many maps.

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

The location is excellent. There are many local shops, restaurants and bars in the local town which is walkable distance. As the property is still being developed the roads aren’t fully complete yet but the builders do take care and ensure to clean and keep the road clear.

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

Yes, I had an issue with my heating when I first moved into the property and they came and sorted it out for me.

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

Overall I don’t think there is anything further I wanted to know before I moved into the property. From viewing to getting into the property is was very seamless.
