1. Fire Safety and Cladding Works

Following national updates to building regulations, West Point is undergoing a major cladding replacement project to meet current fire safety standards.
Tip: Ensure you inform prospective tenants about the ongoing work and expected completion dates to manage expectations and demonstrate transparency.


2. Water Tanks and Plumbing Systems

Some of the building’s water tanks and plumbing systems are aging and may require maintenance.
Tip: Have your apartment’s water systems checked and serviced if needed, especially on higher floors where water pressure can fluctuate. Proactive maintenance reduces tenant complaints and emergency callouts.


3. Service Charges and Building Management

West Point apartments benefit from 24-hour concierge services, secure entry, and communal facilities — but these come with service charges.
Tip: Know your annual service charge costs and factor them into your rental yield calculations. Being clear with tenants about services included (like concierge or parking) adds value.


4. Parking Space Availability

Not all apartments have allocated parking — a valuable asset in Leeds City Centre.
Tip: If your apartment comes with a parking space, highlight it in your listings. If not, offer tenants advice on nearby parking options to boost appeal.


5. Short-Term Letting Restrictions

Some buildings, including West Point, have restrictions on short-term lets (like Airbnb).
Tip: Verify lease terms and building regulations to ensure your rental strategy aligns with building policies.


6. Target Tenant Market

West Point’s location near Leeds Train Station, the financial district, and major employers makes it highly attractive to:

  • Young professionals

  • Corporate lets

  • Postgraduate students

  • Commuters

Tip: Market your property as ideal for professionals needing city-centre access and quick commutes — they value proximity to transport, concierge services, and modern city living.
