Public transport is easily accessible and there is only a short walk required to the nearest shops, schools and pubs. Living on my street can be questionable at times, but that’s only due to certain people living in the area who allow their children to scream at all hours of the day out the front of their houses and also allowing their children to kick their footballs against our garden fence. Some of our fence panels have cracked and i have football scrapes on my car from the football that they sometimes miss the fence and it goes straight over. On one occasion some children actually took it upon themselves to enter my garden as they had no answer at the door, in doing this they broke our garden gate and left it open swinging in the wind causing unnecessary damage, i have no idea how long it was left open for but i have a small dog and my concern would’ve been had he been outside he could’ve escaped.

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

On 2 occasions i have brought up to builders that our fence is broken, and have never heard anything back!

It would’ve been helpful to know what days the landscaping team came to cut the grass on the front of our property as they tend to leave grass smeared into our paving stones and all up our door, and if it’s not wiped off almost immediately it stains.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
