We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

The development is great and they always make sure the front gardens are well looked after. I love how they do events for special occasions for the kids and adults around the Christmas, Halloween, Easter and Summer holiday times. My only gripe has been trying to support the development with getting EV chargers on the rentals as I have to charge my car through the kitchen window.

Any issues are easy to report and are dealt with quickly. Have never had any issues with things being left a while. The place itself looks great and everything is in great condition. Has a really nice clean vibe & it’s a perfect size for a couple/small family.

Don't rent from Simple Life Homes. I moved out of my apartment in Walkden on August 4th, 2022 due to poor customer service and repairs issues. I am still awaiting the release of my deposit. Simple Life Homes told me work was still ongoing at the property and as a result will not be able to tell me what I will be liable for in order to release the rest of my deposit. I however went to the property to check if indeed there was work ongoing but only to find a new tenant in the property who even gave me my letters. Since then Simple Homes have resulted to telling me one story after the other. Every aspect of Simple Life Homes customer services is poor. I will rate this 0 if I could

Hi Kevin, Thank you for bringing your delays to our attention. You are absolutely right; you should not have had to wait this long for proposed deductions to have been communicated to you and we are investigating where our processes have fallen down. Please be assured that we will be putting additional checks in to our processes moving forward to ensure that this doesn’t happen again. We are sincerely sorry for the issues you have faced. I believe James has been in touch with you over the phone to also apologise on behalf of Simple Life and I am pleased to see that you have now had confirmation of the details you were waiting for.

Management respond to issues reported quickly in order to get a quote however slight delay in being updated on the progress of some quite urgent repairs with our property. Other aspects of the property such as hob and extractor were fixed prior to our arrival (though after our move in date)
