Overall the design of the house is great and has a warm feeling to it. It has been my family home for over two years and it has adequate space and is in a great location. However, I have found a few issues with work that has been done on the property not to the best standard but simply life have always come out and fixed any issues in a timely manor

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

Everything is close shops center all wishing 10 mins walk private parking our close is very quiet and added bonus the woods are on our doorstep

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

Always respond in a timely manor and repairs done to a high standard

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

Nothing we love living here

The Good, The Bad and the Muddy

James R (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Oct 2021

Good houses very warm all year round, safe for kids to play with one way in/out. Landscaping really looked after bushes/shrubs always look tidy and all grass kept short. Gardens are terrible they retain water on the surface and would give Glastonbury a run for its money after a bit of Rain. Repairs have been hit and miss, some rectified immediately others over a year of chasing still not.

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

Good location close to shops and motorway short drive away. Some problems with partying during the Summer unsociable levels of Music etc.

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

Moved in pre Covid with a list of snags that were postponed when Covid came around. Repairs have been back 6 months and still have repairs outstanding.

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

The Gardens are terrible, pools of Mud in the Wet months then dry dirt in the Summer when all the grass has died from the water retention.

Manager response

Hi James, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry to hear you are having problems with your garden. If you haven't already, we would invite you to report your garden issues to your Property Manager so that we can investigate this for you. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by any delayed repairs as a result of Covid. Unfortunately, like many industries, we were restricted for a certain period to being allowed to access homes for emergency repairs only. We can see your review was written in October, and I can confirm that the backlog of repairs should be up to date now so I do hope everything has been sorted for you. If there is anything still outstanding or you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us so we can look in to and resolve any issues you might have. We're delighted to hear that you're happy with your home, the safety of the location for children and also the communal grounds maintenance - thank you so much for this feedback.

Simple life keeping it simple

Ikki T. (Tenant)

Jul 2021

The moment we saw the simple life website, we fell in love with it and booked one property straight away. It has been a beautiful experience starting from day one when we were welcomed to our property with a welcome box. Its modern built and beautifully designed inside out.

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

One of the best thing is the primary school which is only 7min walk from our house. And there is a convenience shop, salon, fish bar and cafe near the school too. There are quite a few bus stops near our location as well. I just wish there was a community park inside the shre4close area specifically for the simple life residents so the kids could play there rather then playing on the street whoch no doubt is still safer then the other streets. Neighbours are friendly and helping. There's no parking issues. Just lack of a small community park inside the development.

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

We have had some issue with the kitchen cabinet and it was resolved in a couple of days.

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

I found peace, joyqnd secured since we moved here. The alarm system at the front door and the sensors give us peace of mind. The Hortmann heating programme is very useful esp. if you qre going on holidays. You can set the timer and it will keep the house warm on your return.

Hari (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Jul 2021

Property is newly built and has all the facilities along with white goods.Its located in one of the prime places in Middleton with easy access to city centre .Property had inbuilt wardrobes,nice wooden floor and a neat well built kitchen.Definitely recommend simplelife to others.

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

There is no traffic noise and the community is not disturbed by any noises or city traffic.But its easily accessible as well just 5 mins drive to Middleton city centre where there are supermarkets ,bus stands etc.

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

Building management can be more responsible in answering the property issues faced by tenant.There was an email dropped to property manager and still havent got a reply yet and was unable to get hold off him in Phone as well.

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

I would have known more about property management.

The property for us is perfect , the living room has french doors which make it look allot bigger and brighter , kitchen is lovely and with all the necessities & room for a nice dining table , downstairs toilet is a bonus Upstairs is lovely as well, bathroom has a bath and a stand in shower - the bath also has a shower head built for washing hair ! Bedrooms are all decent sized with the master room having floor to ceiling sliding mirrors

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

Love it here, the local shop is owned by a lovely family & all staff are great. It’s easy enough to walk to big Tesco , but you also have spar that is a 10 min walk

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

Very quickly , anyone that I have met has been really efficient & polite

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