City Island

This review relates only to buying a flat in City Island, not living there. The short version is: don't. Whilst the development has the rare advantage of an EWS certificate, it also has the enormous disadvantage of a management agency who took over 10 weeks NOT to action a simple request from the purchaser's lawyers. Despite the purchaser persuading the lender to extend the mortgage offer, the management agency was still unable, after 10 weeks, to supply basic information despite a torrent of reminders. It is impossible to know which of the three bodies involved ( IPM, local management, or the freeholders) made such a hash of this, but after months of trying, the sale has now fallen though. You have been warned.

Such a nice place.

We own a flat here and its a great complex within a short walk of the city centre.Management has improved but watch out for dodgy parking enforcement!

This is a great place to live the views are great an the canal is on your door step

Yet another waterside" block of flats posing as "apartments" while looking like a badly designed Spanish hotel.What's wrong with people? When these complexes were first put up in the late 50's & 60's to get people out of back to back slums they were called by their real name

Beautiful place, but far for university students. The main issue I had was the electric meter was going triple the speed, and no matter how many times I called to change it, the dumb people providing energy didn't know anything about electric meters.

Lovely place to live, great connection to city Center and train station. With the security all around the clock, is super safe.

I lived here at City Island about two and half years ago when living in Leeds. I was there for 6 months. I'm always someone who feels very lucky and grateful to have a roof over my head. However this was 6 Months of hell. It was cold, damp, dirty and noisy. It came with so many problems, I wouldn't even know where to begin. I loved living in Leeds for just under two years, but after just 6 months, I have no regret moving out of City Island.

This is a complex of half a dozen tower blocks of apartments close to the centre of Leeds, by the canal. The car parking for visitors is difficult and the traffic wardens are very vigilant. Lovely views over the city. Concierge service is good. Underground parking is costly for residents.
