The things that attracted me to renting through Simple life was the ease of living in a new home, a sense of security & the fact these are pet friendly properties

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
There is a local shop in a petrol garage around a 10 minute walk from the estate (depending where on the estate you live may vary) or there is a Premier off license further down Chester road which is good. No local restaurants within walking distance, however with the rise of uber eats, deliveroo & just eat you can't complain really as it is easy to just order off there. Transport links - A 15 minute walk from Warrington Bank Quay Station that provides frequent links to London & further north towards Scotland so that is good. Town centre can be a 20-30 minute walk, I work for the bus company that happens to provide the closest bus service to the development (10 and 47 bus service), non biased opinion compared to Warrington's own buses our service is outstanding with minimal cancellations/breakdowns it can be trusted by residents who don't drive, have children who need to get around or fancy a ride into town for shopping or a few drinks! We live on Arrowe Park Drive a little further down from the main road, noise isn't loud, being next to the West Coast Mainline you can and will hear the trains passing & as the WCML is one of the UK's busiest routes for passenger trains AND freight trains do expect noise all hours of day and night however it isn't loud enough to be annoying. Windows closed you probably wouldn't hear it. Our street has no signs of anti social behavior so far. Bin collections seem ok, however if you want frequent post, Royal Mail are utterly useless it seems, and neighbors say it has not improved. We moved into the last house available through Simple Life at the time of writing this (June 2025)
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We have had no issues with our home so far. So nothing to report.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Simple Life seem to shy away from conducting viewings & the fact you have to pay a deposit equivalent to a weeks rent (deduced off your first month if you pass all referencing etc ok) in order to secure the property seemed like a red flag but I can imagine it is to prevent time wasters & dreamers.

Hello, Thank you for your wonderful feedback - we're glad you are enjoying life with Simple Life at River's Edge!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The apartment is nice with a great view. No shops within a 20 minute walk. No bars or restaurants that are worth going. Unreasonable rent increases yearly. Would not recommend unless you like to be financially shafted yearly.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Really rude. Have raised multiple issues since living here and not been dealt with.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known that the rent would increase by minimum £70 each year. We are in a cost of living crisis.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The local area is lovely – quiet, friendly, and well-connected. There are plenty of nearby shops, cafes, and restaurants, and green spaces are just a short walk away, which is great for families and dog owners. Transport links are convenient, with easy access to major roads and public transport, making commuting simple. Bin collections are generally reliable and the street is peaceful, with little to no anti-social behaviour or traffic noise. Parking is usually available, though it can be a bit tight at peak times. Overall, it’s a great place to live – the area has a lot going for it.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has been extremely poor at responding to any issues. Emails often go completely unanswered, and when you do get a reply, it’s usually delayed, unhelpful, or passed off to someone else who also doesn’t respond. It feels like you’re being ignored or deliberately avoided, leaving you in the dark with no resolution or accountability.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known how chaotic and stressful the move-in process would be. From misleading communication to last-minute changes, nothing was straightforward. You’re left chasing answers and dealing with vague or conflicting updates. I’d advise any new neighbour to get everything in writing, prepare for unexpected delays, and don’t expect clear or timely responses from management. The property and area are great—but the process getting here was a nightmare.

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.
Manager response

Lovely home in a great village

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The development is located in a very nice village. There is a co- op, pharmacy, bar, village hall, hairdressers, takeaway pizza and Indian. Where we’re located there’s quite a bit of traffic noise from the A46 and all of the building developments are a bit of an eye sore. I’m hoping once it’s all complete there will be some nice routes to walk and it’ll be a bit quieter.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, we’ve had the maintenance man come to fill the cracks in the wall and this was done very promptly. They also came to replace some flooring all of which was done very efficiently.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It can be quite time consuming setting up utility bills for a new build. It took us months to get these set up as the house wasn’t recognised on any of their systems yet.

Thank you for your valuable and wonderful feedback Rachel! We appreciate the time you have taken to leave your review for Swan Grange!
