Planning a move in Leeds
Back-to-back houses
Leeds still has many back-to-back terraced houses. They share their back wall with the house behind, so there's no back door - everything goes in and out through the front. Mention it when you describe access.
Student areas
In areas with lots of shared student houses, such as Headingley and Hyde Park, many tenancies change over at the same time each year, so streets and removal companies get busy. Book early if you're moving then.
City-centre apartments
Apartment blocks in the city centre and along the waterfront usually have loading and lift rules - ask the building manager before you book a time.
