I hadn’t seen the property before and the garden is massive and it takes forever for me to mow the lawn

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

There are a range of local shops and bars within close proximity if you drive, 5 minute drive maximum 10. If your looking for restaurants to eat in they can be a bit further into the city but no further than 15 min drive. I do wish there where more walking distance parks and playgrounds to take the kids but other than that the area is beautiful, very nice and quite. The people around the area are lovely and welcoming, the neighbors are all lovely. There is a buss top 5 minutes walk from my street. Everyone seems to have their own parking so that’s never a problem which we are so happy about especially having kids that’s very important so I love that simple life made that easy. Bin collection has not been a problem since moving in always on time and lovely bin men. I’ve been here just over a year now and I have Not come across any anti-social behaviour the area is nice and peaceful. Even with construction going on the way simple life has built the houses you can barely hear anything from outside, I am a stay at home mum and my husband works from home and both of us have never complained of traffic noise or construction noise.

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

Building management are always there to help even if it’s an out of hour issue and it’s urgent they have people in place that can come out and sort things out.

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

This is our first proper house we have moved into, so Just knowing small things like how to maintain the garden and fixing little things around the house that you don’t need a professional for. But that has nothing to do with SimpleLife just a personal thing

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

Lovely quiet area and so far had no issues at all. We all enjoy living here. However is a little distance from the town but we knew that before moving in. Local amenities are good but not walking distance

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

Has taken 4 months to get issues fixed but down to developer rather than simplelife as the property is still under warranty. Very frustrating but simplelife have been checking in and trying to chase issues.

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

Neighbour said they wished they could view the property to see size of garden etc. We was lucky and viewed ours. We wish we knew about sorting the gas/electricity earlier as we waited for them to make contact with us as we didn't realise was our responsibility
