Simple Life at Empyrean, M7

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

There is a good range of shops including a corner shop only a few minutes walk away, then you have an aldi, tesco, asda and sainsburys only a 5 minute drive away. It's also really close to town, which only takes 15 mins walking. There is no noise disturbance and the parking is good, I know my car is safe.

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

I wish I had been told that my apartment is on the ground floor, as I would have really liked a balcony. But I can always try and get one once my current lease ends.

What is the best feature of your home:

I love the layout of the flat, and also the fittings and furniture. It's so modern and clean looking, you feel a sense of calm when you walk in.

Shops are within a reasonable distance with a Lidl not far. Parking is not free and is charged at £50 a month on top of already pricey rents.

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

Simple life haven’t been helpful most of the time. Repairs took ages and there are no other facilities on site to justify the high rents.

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

How poor the flat was. Paint missing and broken bits was not a sight I was expecting.

I wish that we knew the apartment wasn’t ready to move into.

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

Very good and quiet location, with access to a big supermarket and a couple of convenient stores nearby. Not a big range of restaurants however it's close to the city that has a big variety.

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

To be honest we've not had any issues yet but they've been helpful with some queries.

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

The only thing I would share is the information that the simple life app has to provide, when you move in a new house with different appliances and facilities to your previous one you waste time trying to figure out how everything works. However the app has most of the information and it would be good to mention beforehand that all the manuals are also included there.

The location which to be honest I didn’t really know existed until I saw it on a property search website is just amazing because it’s very close to city centre but at the same time still very quiet and chill has personal parking space at a very affordable price, the bin and recycling program are very straightforward and efficient.

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

In a real incident where I had to sort out the electricity part of my apartment they were very willing and ready to help me out and answered all my questions and more.

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

To be honest I do think I did everything as I would hoped and liked
