A really beautiful development with adequate green spaces and impressive rear gardens. Beautiful restaurant within walking distance and Tesco store, Frinton on sea about two mins by car with adequate shops, post office etc. Finches is so quiet, when you sit outside you can only hear a pin drop and neighbours all seem so friendly and respectful which is lovely.

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

By taking animals which are part of any family is brilliant and the gardens are a wonderful size with adequate walking areas close by

What is the best feature of your home:

Beautiful looking bungalow with the front porch like it is, beautiful large garden, easy to keep clean flooring and felt like a home the day we moved in! Nice that it’s fitted with good quality white goods too.

Newhall we thought was going to be our dream come true, we purchased a £500k detached home to see our life out in peace and tranquility. What we didn't account for is the known thug that Simple Life Homes rented to opposite us at 2 Treadle Path that has made our life a living nightmare. Anti social behaviour, aggressive answers when being challenged when he parks his work van in a visitors bay but rams my fence to get as close as possible. He has put up 2 cam eras facing our house and he and his wife stare into our windows while chain smoking every 20 minutes. He has 2 allocated spaces and has taken over 2 car ports and secured them into enclosed garages where he runs his roofing business from outside our new home. This is breaking na number of the covenants we signed for. He also has 5 French bulldogs yet Simple Life Homes have a policy for only 2 dogs.

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

Very poorly, very slowly and annoyingly some of the bigger messy things could have been fixed before we moved in. They need to do much better.

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

if we knew we were going to be intimidated by a neighbour and let down by Vistry, SHW the Estate Managers and Simple Life Homes we would have stayed where we were.

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

Very well developed / clean area. We love how spaced out everything seems and the houses appear to be top quality. The woodland surrounding also is very nice.

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

The lady who facilitated our viewing (Saoirse) was great, very professional, explained everything well and was super patient with us. It really was appreciated, we felt respected and she had all our questions answered.

What is the best feature of your home:

I cannot choose out of the living room, garden and garage. Very happy to have a garage which will be fully utilised. The living room is spacious and the garden is well taken care off (which we will continue to do so).

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

No local shops, bars or restaurants. Facilities have been included and consist of one community centre. No healthcare in the development and very limited access to already stretched healthcare services. Street is mostly quiet apart from the occasional street racing.

What is the best feature of your home:

Still looking. I seem to have to write 50 characters for this answer.
