If you want a simple life – do not rent from these people
Transport links and local amenities are ok. Neighbours were lovely. Nearby kirkleatham is very pretty.
Please review your development:
Very expensive for the size and quality of property. A lot of crime on the estate. It’s a noisy ugly building site with views of ugly factories. Our garden was flooded for all of the winter due to poor drainage and a giant mound caused by building work. Customer service is non-existent after you move in, and the representative for the area is arrogant, rude and completely bone idle.
They put the rent up forcing us to leave because we refused to pay a penny more for a tiny 2 bed on a building site. We were then hit with £2000 worth of false charges. They wanted new carpets, full redecoration, new doors, new lawn (due to the flood damage they did nothing about) amongst many other things (the property was new, we lived there a year). BEWARE. These people are criminals, struggling to rent and sell these homes. I would never ever rent from these people again, be very careful.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish i’d known just how noisy the building site and factories would be. And that these people would invent more than £2000 of charges when we left… I’ve never experienced anything as awful.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
No! We were in fact charged for these issues. Can you imagine?!

Hello,
Although we are unable to identify you via the information available to us through Home Views, we are confident we have located your tenancy based on other similar reviews left on other platforms referencing the same issues.
We’re sorry that your Simple Life home didn’t live up to your expectations. We feel we make it clear when someone is about to rent on a brand new site that is still under construction so that residents are aware and it is the applicant’s prerogative to choose the right development and location for them.
We’re surprised by your comments around the quality of the home, as we can see you only had 6 reactive repairs throughout your tenancy. Any other snags or issues, should have been flagged to us so the team could pick them up promptly for you.
We can see that you experienced some minor flooding in the garden which was both due to the shed that had been put in place and also a mound of soil behind your fence. As soon as this was established we worked with the housebuilder to get the soil removed.
It is stipulated within your tenancy agreement that as per the standard for the rental industry, your rent will be reviewed once per year. As we are not an Affordable provider, and as a business subject to inflation ourselves, our rents are always set in line with the local market, therefore, rental increases are unavoidable for us unfortunately. However, we do try to keep a fair view of this and our rents for renewing residents are very reasonable.
We cannot go into detail on your end of tenancy charges on a public forum due to GDPR, however we can see that the deposit deductions were very much warranted and reasonable to bring the property back up to scratch. If you would like to discuss the deductions or you would like another copy of your check out report then please get in touch with the team.
