LeedsLive spoke to a number of residents who live on Woodview Place and the surrounding streets to ask them what it's like living on Leeds' cheapest street, and why they decided to move there.Margaret, 66, has only lived on the street for a year having moved in a rush after their landlady sold another property. She says she likes the street and was surprised to hear how cheap some of the other houses are.

Julie, 63, lives not far from Woodview in Back Trentham Place, she bought her house 30 years ago for £23,950 she has no idea what the house is worth now but says she has no plans on moving. Julie said: "I've lived here 30 years, when I bought the house it was worth £23,950, no clue what it's worth now, I keep meaning to get it valued.

One resident on Woodview moved up to Leeds from London and said the prices were "unbelievable." Keith, 67, has only lived on the street for a few months but says anywhere is cheaper than London.
