Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I’m pleased with the new building development at this location. It’s encouraging to see that the project has been managed thoughtfully, with attention to minimizing disruption to the local community. Garbage collection has been timely and effective, keeping the area clean and tidy. I’ve also noticed clear improvements in noise reduction efforts, which have helped maintain a peaceful environment. Traffic control around the site appears well-organized, ensuring safety and minimizing congestion. Most importantly, there has been no sign of antisocial behavior linked to the development, which speaks well of both the management and the community. Overall, the development has been a welcome and responsibly handled addition to the neighborhood.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We appreciate the prompt response by the building management in addressing the minor defects on the walls. It’s reassuring to see that such issues are taken seriously and dealt with efficiently. The timely repairs reflect a strong commitment to maintaining the quality and appearance of the property, and it gives residents confidence in the ongoing care and attention to detail by the management team.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One good thing we wish we had known before moving into the new house is just how well the community is managed and how smoothly everything runs. From the efficient building services to the peaceful atmosphere, it has been a pleasant surprise that exceeded our expectations.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Limited shops, but essentials are there. Some pubs in the close vicinity. Nice open spaces and nature in the surroundings. Public transport available. Limited parking availability. No traffic noise (only the occasional plane flying over), very quiet and tranquil neighbourhood.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They always responded very promptly and efficiently on issues that we raised.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The app makes communication with the landlord very nice. Neighbours are friendly. Nice home.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
We pretty much very happy with location to shops and take aways. One thing i must say is when driving through the estate there is definitely not enough parking, the roads in some area are definitely not wide enough and the speed some people travel is shocking with the amount of kids about.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes and the situations was resolved by refering to the Simply life App.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Just the roads as mentioned before the roads aren't wide enought and the add parked cars. Its like an obstacles course when busy.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The range of shops within the area is brilliant for quick and easy convenient things. The nearest supermarket is a 10minute drive, there is a local fish and chip bar which is to die for. Bin collections are both efficient and easy, and no anti-social behaviour or noise pollution is apparent with it being in quite a secluded area.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We have had an OVO energy bill that was here before we moved into the house that debt collectors were involved with, the team had told us that this issue had been sorted and it is yet to be sorted and we are still getting demanding letters to our door saying debt collectors will be coming.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Ensure to sort of WiFi before moving in and go with EE, in terms of service the connection is the strongest.
