Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
A choice of local bars & restaurants - one within walking distance. A short drive to a variety of supermarkets and other stores. Ofsted rated 'good' primary schools and college near by. Location is quiet (some nice during the day as this is still a working site) each house has driveway/allocated parking for a minimum of 2 cars. Approximately a 2minute drive to the M65.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very quickly. The dishwasher has a fault, someone attended same day but could not repair and a technician was then quickly booked to attend a couple of days later. Good communication.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
We do not feel there is anything we wished we had known. We made a big move from Cornwall to Lancashire so researched the area well before choosing this development. Be mindful that the development is not finished so there are building works during roughly 8am to 4pm but we were expecting this.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location of the properties is amazing. My flat is not even a minute walk to the bus stops which is convenient for my work and social life. It is just outside of west end which is its only downside. However, the flats are in a gated community meaning you don’t experience the life of west end! When I open my back door, I don’t hear the commotion of the streets which is perfect for relaxing in the sun. The property is a couple of minutes walk to the sea front which is perfect for me and my dog.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
When I first moved into the property, there were a few minor issues. After reporting these issues, maintenance was out the next day fixing everything.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The viewing I had of my flat was very informative. Dean showed me most things in the flat and explained certain aspects of Placefirst. Even before my viewing, the lady who contacted me with the date and time was extremely informative on how the viewing would go and answered all my questions I had.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Always rubbish in the back alleys, the property had consistent damp issues which took over a year to fix from raising a complaint
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
It took a year to resolve a damp request which was due to faulty leak in the back door with two kids in the property
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
You can hear quite easily through the walls so hear neighbours often and the alarm system in the properties are known to be faulty and beep intermittently ever 60 seconds and no action to resolve it
Manager response

We understand how frustrating that must be. We've shared your feedback with the team, and they are looking into it to make changes moving forward.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Nearby convenient store, small park and hospital. Has got a bus stop nearby but rarely see bus coming over. Not near good public transport. Important of having own car. Still ongoing construction so can be bit noisy now and then.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have got urgent, non urgent categories when dealing with problems. If problems can be individualized and more communicative that’ll be best. I needed up calling daily for couple of times just to get one issue sorting
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
In viewing the properties, staff who attended had not be very informative about the properties management process. He had attended merely just for opening up the door and let us have a look around. Wish staff will be more knowledgeable about their buildings
Manager response
Hi Angelica, Thank you for your review of Brookfield Vale! We're sorry to hear that you didn't have the best experience when moving in, due to an issue with your heating, and that the lettings team meeting you for a viewing didn't appear to be forthcoming with information. As we cannot identify you via your review, we would like to invite you to contact us at complaints@simplelifehomes.com, giving us identifiable information so we can look a little closer at the issues you faced. Your feedback is very important to us, and we would like to ensure that any feedback for the team is incorporated in to their training and development. Nonetheless, we are pleased to hear that you would still recommend Simple Life as your landlord and overall you are very happy with your home!
