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 develooment looks nice and the flats are modern and feel very homely but as i sad before the parking is a problem and i think is going to keep people away. If this is not sorted then would be cocidering a move. Overall the devellopment should look very nice when finished
Manager response
Hi Jeff, Thank you for your honest review. We're sorry that parking at Beam Park has been an issue for you. We do make it clear when applying for one of our properties that parking spaces are limited and at an extra charge. If you haven't already, please contact the team and they can add you to the waiting list for a spot when one becomes available. Unfortunately the overall site parking is monitored by PCM and as this is a site-wide scheme, it isn't something within Simple Life London's control. We're disappointed to therefore see that you wouldn't recommend Simple Life London as a landlord, if there's any further feedback you can give us in relation to us as a landlord, we'd welcome you to send us an email so we can look in to anything that needs addressing.

The property is still being developed and its promising. The area is well kept and clean. Timely collection of rubbish. Theres a preschool and lots of greenspace to walk around a pet. The building is very well secured with FOB operated intercom and with well furnished flats.

The bin room is downstairs just underneath the buildings and it stinks up the entire building on most days, especially during summer. There is also a rat issue in the estate due to the bins downstairs. Rats gain access to the apartments because of gaps in the building. I.e underneath the sink and kitchen cabinets
Manager response
Hello, Thank you for your review and making us aware of the issues you are facing. We have looked into these claims and can confirm that we have not had any complaints from any residents regarding the bins. We can confirm that they are collected once a week by the council. If you feel this is a persistent issue, we encourage you to contact your Relationship Manager to discuss in more detail, so that we can investigate any problems further. In regard to rodents, we acknowledge that there were a couple of sightings around the development as a whole a while ago. Since then, L&Q (the estates manager for Beam Park) has implemented pest control, and additional works were carried out to prevent pests entering the buildings. Since then, any sightings have ceased. As above, if this is an existing issue, we would really like you to report this to us through the formal channels so we can investigate this. Finally, we’d like to address your concerns over the lack of car parking. There are 3 visitor car parking spaces on Fairmont Road and a further 9across the development to take advantage of- these just need to be booked via the Virtual Visitor PCM app, where you can claim 100 hours free a month for all residents. You can also purchase more if needed. As you will know we do also offer designated car parking spaces for rent and we do have some available currently – please get in touch if you are interested in taking up one of these spaces. Unfortunately, we are unable to change the monitoring and ticketing of cars parked in unallocated spaces as this is a site-wide instruction that was fixed at planning stages of the development.

The design is simplistic with a homey modern twist. Apartments are built in a way that is easy to navigate around. The property comes with bike storage, and parking for those with a 2 bed flat at a monthly cost. The building has lifts and 5 floors. The accommodation stays clean and still looks like a new build.

Design is great really happy with it, facilities not many, building management has been great really hands on and give tenants updates by email. Property management has also been really good can’t fault simple Life in that aspect. Could be more facilities introduced in the future
Manager response
Thank you for your feedback Bernice, and we're so glad to hear that you've had a good experience with our team. As the site is part of a wider regeneration area, there will be works ongoing for some time still. However we will make sure the team make this clear to any prospective tenants moving forward. We are still hopeful that the train station will be built at some point in the future - sadly this is out of our hands, but we continue to express our support for the benefit of our residents and the wider area.
