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

Lots of shops and take aways available. Nando’s is close by and you’re not too far from Worsley so there’s nice restaurants there.

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

They respond well overall and work with you to sort problems.

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

I wish I’d known the size of the garden! Otherwise, I love living here.

Hi AS, Thank you for reviewing Reynold's Place with Simple Life. We're delighted to hear that you're happy with your home and your neighbourhood! We're disappointed to read that you seem to be having issues getting responses on maintenance jobs. As we are unable to access identifiable information via Home Views, please could you email Operations Manager, Ash, with some further information so we can look in to this for you: Ashley.Jones@simplelifehomes.co.uk

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

Close to Manchester which is great. Parking is a nightmare - needs guest spots to park in or extra spots on request

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

We have to fix our own issues as the management don’t seem to respond

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

The parking issues, wish that we knew that there was limited parking

Hi Harrison, Thank you for your review of Reynold’s Place. We believe we have been able to identify you based on the information included in your review. We can confirm that as advertised the property comes with 2 car parking spaces. As with all residential housing estates, all visitors would need to find appropriate car parking on the roadside. We can see you have raised 5 maintenance issues during your tenancy, 3 of which were deemed to require no work or were due to accidental tenant damage, 2 repairs we can see were fixed within our usual service level agreement. We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused by a few changes to our property managers. Earlier this year, we changed the structure of the team, enabling staff to be more specialised in certain areas, hopefully resulting in quicker response times and repair times – we hope that you start to feel the benefit of this.

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

Plenty of shops and food outlets in the area. 30 minutes from Manchester city centre. Good transport links, and roads aren't too busy during commuting.

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

Typically within a few days, even minor problems have been looked at and addressed properly.

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

Don't need a large vacuum cleaner. A simple cordless is enough to do the entire apartment three times on a single charge.
