Dandara Living Leeds Leodis Square reviews

I’ve been living here for over three years, and it’s been a great experience overall. The location is ideal for professionals who need an easy commute to the city centre or the train station, while still enjoying a quieter environment away from the noise. The receptionist team truly stands out as they’re always friendly and do their best to accommodate whatever residents need. The building amenities are another highlight, especially the gym facilities, which are well-maintained and convenient. I also really appreciate the sense of community, with events like neighbour gatherings and yoga classes that make it easy to connect with others. It’s a well-balanced place to live, combining comfort, convenience, and community.

I am rating this as someone who was a potential renter. I took the tour and it was lovely. I would have definitely considered living here if it wasn't for a big factor for me. The fridge/freezer is EXCEPTIONALLY small. The guide told us they might have a spare of two extra freezers to lend if we did move in, but that it would sit on the counter tops. I couldn't deal with that as the counter tops are already the minimum amount for me. Basically it's one of those really small fridges and the inside has a small enclosed shelf that is supposed to be the freezer. There is no way two people could possibly use that. Not unless you're only eating ready-made meals every day. Other than that, the entire place was lovely. The staff seemed friendly as well. Advice for the owners of these flats: get bigger fridges and a separate freezer. There is no excuse really.

Would give 0 stars if I could. Absolutely appalled by the way this management company operates. From the moment I moved in, it was clear that tenants are treated as nothing more than a source of income, with little to no care for their experience or wellbeing. The flats are incredibly small, overpriced, and receive very little natural sunlight. You’re paying premium prices for a subpar living experience. The communal spaces are poorly maintained and dirty, with little effort made to improve the standard of living for residents. There were ongoing issues with homeless individuals sleeping directly outside the entrance, creating a safety concern that management completely ignored. Upon moving out, the management company have attempted to unfairly deduct money from our deposit for wear and tear, which is illegal. They initially conducted the end of tenancy inspection before our tenancy had even officially ended, without informing us or providing notice. We had to fight to have it cancelled and redone after our professional cleaning service (which they recommended) had been completed. Even after professional cleaning, they are still attempting to charge us for additional carpet cleaning and a full redecoration, despite the fact that minor marks and scuffs are expected wear and tear. They also failed to conduct an inventory check when I moved in, meaning they had no legitimate baseline for comparison. On top of that, because we no longer had access to the property, we were not even able to collect our own photographic evidence to dispute their claims. Throughout my tenancy, raising any concerns with this company was a constant battle. You’re advised to use the ‘portal’ which doesn’t work despite escalating this numerous times. I could go on.. the water pressure is laughable, hob barely works, same for the fridge. Avoid renting from this company at all costs. They are unprofessional, unresponsive, and will do everything possible to withhold your deposit at the end of your tenancy. Save yourself the stress and look elsewhere.

I’ve had a pleasant experience living here since last year. The gym facilities are great, parcel room is convenient and outdoor space on my balcony is very useful. Moving in was easy with utilities set up for me and Sabrina was very helpful finding me a flat. It has a nice communal feel and I’ve made great friends with my neighbours. Highly recommend

Lived here for three years! Perfect for travel into the city. Very sound proof apartments. The building reception was always so clean and well kept. Gym on site made life so much easier. The opening of the cafe downstairs really helped those early morning starts. Highly recommend if Leeds is where you want to be! The staff from day 1 have been amazing aswell

apartments are ok. good proximity to the city centre. Be warned they will do anything to try keep your deposit, they won't bother emailing you when you move out, it is on you to chase. Watch where they keep your deposit stored as well, ours is shown on that is was secured 4 years after we moved in and they actively chose to ignore us when chasing up to get the deposit back as they know they are in breach of the housing law.

Really wanted to live here. No pet policy available on website to view. Website uses plural when stating 'pets'. Spoke to a member of staff who informed me only one pet/dog per apartment. Really disappointing as I have a very small dog and a medium sized dog. Will look elsewhere.

I love living here. Friendly helpful staff, dog friendly and such a sociable place to live. A special shout out for James, the manager and Mimona on Reception who always go out of their way and over and above what is expected.

Apartments are very nice and energy efficient. But there is a lot of noise both from outside especially during weekends and from neighbours all the time. Both the apartment opposite to me and next to me had parties all the time, best was a week with parties 4 nights in a row from Monday to Friday. Tenant services did nothing. Also they don’t really serve you very well, there was a period when their phones didn’t work for like a week, I had to eventually go and stand next to them in the lobby to get a tenant reference for a new place, they didn’t show up for the last inspection as agreed and I needed to contact several times to get my deposit back. Also, you have no flexibility over the furniture, so I had to work in the kitchen even if I had an extra bedroom. And no parking. And apparently the rule about no dogs over 15kg only applies when they feel like it. But good for short periods if you need a place close to the city centre.

Incapable of processing a complaint but will happily take your money. Unsure how to reply due to the fact you've addressed the matter publicly, rather than through an email. The problem is not with refuse collection, rather the quad bike used to transport the bins to and from your living space. Which would not be a complaint for the council and could be addressed by the means stated in the email (not leaving the bike on when not in use) A review of how you address complaints is clearly needed.

Overall an excellent accomodation. Pros 5* for location, close to the motorway and very close to the station (around 10 mins walk). Majority of the residents are young professionals who are very pleasant and good neighbours to have Staff are excellent, helpful, and attentive. Gym facilities are probably the best I've ever seen for an apartment complex. No need for a gym membership. Reasonably priced - £1050 for a 2 bed flat (correct as of Feb 2022) Fantastic balcony Pet friendly flats Cons: A lot of dogs, not always leashed which is disappointing Limited parking (£100pcm additional per space) Many people park in inconsiderate ways around the flats During Leeds United games a huge amount of additional vehicles come and don't park considerately IMO flats are on the small side for 2 beds at the price point being charged, having said that they do have a fantastic balcony so this can be forgiven Parcel room often not well maintained - not really the staff's fault more so people not collecting items and delivery men/women not placing parcels correctly Overall verdict 9/10, excellent place to live and would strongly recommend to anyone who wants to live in the city centre!

The apartments are nice and within a short walk to the city center and Crown point. The amenities are also nice. We had a few issues during the time we lived there and unfortunately they weren’t quickly sorted since we had to chase up on a few occasions. The wifi is included but the parking spot isn’t and most of the times it is hard to find parking around.

Would be zero stars if it were an option. Units themselves are nice enough but put up too quickly with subpar materials & appliances so you’ll have issues. The staff in the leasing office are rude, unhelpful and lack necessary communication skills to do the job. They’ll also do anything and everything they can to withhold and delay return of your security deposit. 10/10 would NOT recommend.

If I could give 0 stars then I absolutely would. Absolute disgrace. lived here for a whole year, the communal areas were always filthy, never got notifications for the parcel room and best of all, they have completely ignored all …

Quiet apartments, large balconies, lovely coworking areas, and fun community events. The workers are all extremely kind and the location is super convenient.

Good flats, however they are managed so poorly with very to little care for residents. Getting anything fixed can take forever and not very well managed
