A guide to living in Lincolnshire

Lincolnshire has a lot to offer prospective home buyers, from the beautiful coastline to the gorgeous countryside. The county is located in eastern England and borders Norfolk as well as Cambridgeshire. It also has a very rich history; with many notable people having been born or raised here, including Emily Bronte (author of Wuthering Heights), Roger de Clarendon (a 12th-century nobleman who served Henry II and his son Richard I) and Oliver Cromwell (best known for leading the Parliamentary forces during the English Civil War).

Extremely Disappointed – Poor Service from Start to Finish I rarely leave negative reviews, but after a full year of dealing with Simple Life, I feel compelled to share my experience. Throughout our tenancy, communication was shockingly poor — it often took weeks (if not months) to get any response. We waited over six months for basic repairs, including broken doors, lightbulbs, and a non-working doorbell. No sense of urgency or care. Despite the lack of service, they increased the rent by over £200 in a single year, without any justification or improvements to the property. When we moved out, they didn’t even carry out an end-of-tenancy inventory, giving them free rein to dispute or withhold parts of our deposit — and they were incredibly greedy and difficult when we asked for it back. To make things worse, they never once came to check the property in the entire year we were there — no inspections, no maintenance checks, nothing. Just radio silence unless we chased them again and again. Overall, it felt like they were happy to take rent but offered nothing in return in terms of service or responsibility. I would not recommend Simple Life to anyone looking for a responsive, fair, or professional rental experience.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The location is perfect for a newly family really lovely people around very helpful and want to help people out as well. Location is very quiet but sometimes you do get people having parties you get that everywhere but the location was perfect. Lovely the reason of moving is because simple life are very poor and the rent went up too much in one year

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Day one asked for maintenance got it six months later

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish before I knew I looked into simple life a bit more before moving

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Development started off OK until a oath was put infront and down the side of the property. Our front garden was used as a cut through and dog toilet until we managed to get a picket style fence fitted.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

In 17 months in the property we were still waiting for repairs we had reported. We gave up in the end and gave notice.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Can't make house a home as you need permission for everything and when you leave they will find anything to bill you for to take money from your deposit.

Manager response
