Link Road Driving Property Traffic to Manning Stainton

The road to success! Lesley Taylor says the M1/M62 link is driving the high sales levels at Crossgates.

Estate Agent Manning Stainton’s recently refurbished Crossgates, Leeds, branch on Austhorpe Road is enjoying particularly high property sales levels just now, and - says Manager Lesley Taylor – the M1/M62 link road has a lot to do with that: -

“Crossgates has plenty to recommend it,” she says “It’s a very friendly place with superb shopping facilities and a good mix of properties. The link road is the icing on the cake, and an added bonus for those needing to commute or access the motorway networks.”

A look around Crossgates does make the casual observer wonder why the area has not quite achieved “hot spot” status long before now. The area boasts an impressive shopping centre – one of Leeds’ busiest suburban shopping malls – and a very wide choice of independent shops including, says Lesley, the official “best butcher’s shop in England” as voted by retail experts.

There’s something for everyone on the housing front, too, from extended 3/4 bed detached, 3 bed semi detached, 2 and 3 bed semi and detached bungalows and 2 and 3 bed terrace properties for sale ranging in price from £80,000 plus to £250,000 plus across the east Leeds area through the Crossgates branch.

But what distinguishes the area from many others is the strong community spirit, through long-established family roots.

As Lesley points out:

“Once people discover Crossgates they do tend to stay!”
