The Refinery, Leeds

Of course! They are very proud of their properties and would love to show you around. If you want to bring some friends or family members that’s absolutely fine too – they just ask that you speak to their Residents’ Team in advance so they can make sure they have some rooms available to show you. If you find yourself in the area and haven’t had a chance to speak to they you can still pop in, whilst they might not have a room to show you they will still be able to show you around their Residents’ Shared Spaces.

They can also offer online video viewings if you don’t live locally so let they know what works for you!

Please get in touch with their Residents’ Team – they are experts on their properties and most have rooms with varying levels of adaptations so their team will be able to help you.

If you book online with the help of amber agent, and you indicate you have a medical condition, the booking process will automatically pause so you can speak with them.
