Great place to live.

Design of my own house is excellent. It includes an ensuite ( which was a requirement) Kitchen comes with a fridge freezer, oven and hob, washer and dish washer. A good sized garden at the rear, which starts with a small patio area. Good quality standard fencing to give not only privacy but defence from the weather. My front is a double sized driveway that we fit two cars on for parking safety. The lounge is a good size also with French doors that lead out onto the rear garden. Kitchen and dining area is open plan but fits a good sized table in the dining area. Upstairs a master bedroom is a good size (maybe could have a little better lighting to cover its size) witn an ensuite attached. The front bedroom again is a good size. Third bedroom is smaller that I use as a study/computer room. Bathroom has a bath and shower facility together with a toilet. Very good all round.

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

Excellent place to live with great transport to get about. We're close to train station plus a guided bus service called V2 which is very economical to use and takes you to the centre of Manchester. We have a thriving Town centre which covers all aspects of shopping. It also has very good cocktail bars and real ale bars. A number of restaurants on the main street. A very nice house which included many of the required kitchen facilities including fridge freezer, oven, hob, washer and dishwasher. Can't fault it.

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

Although we've had the covid pandemic which has caused problems for tradesmen to attend houses this has been dealt with in a very professional way and any problem has been dealt with as soon as possible.

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

Very difficult to think of a bad thing other than personally I wish the outside tap was on the side and not right at the back. Or the ensuite fan was less noisy especially at night but you can switch it off until the morning. On the good side drink in the facilities that each home is supplied with.

I am hopeful that future residents will have a much better experience than myself and believe with the new team that will be possible!

My experience at the beginning of my journey with simple life wasn’t the best. It was incredibly hard to get hold of anyone, no one could provide straight answers and although having put a holding deposit down three months prior they still couldn’t arrange my move in date at the correct time. I struggled with mouldy washing machines, broken skirting boards, sink leaks, boiler issues and no aerial in the bedroom. They were not good at getting back to me and I continuously had to chase for updates however I believe the management team has changed and this has made a drastic improvement on the organisation of it all. They have all been very helpful since, I am hopeful that future residents will have a much better experience than myself and believe with the new team that will be possible!

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

There isn’t much around in terms of walking distance but handy if you have a car. Parking is available for at least 2 cards per house and on the street for any guests which is handy. However it backs on to a rough estate where people come and constantly try door handles on cars and front doors which just feels unsafe.

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

As stated previously whenever I had an issue, organisation lacked an extreme amount.

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

The community at simple is really wonderful. There is a Facebook page available for the square and everyone is so helpful!

A lovely place to live in Atherton

Lovely welcome basket that had both essentials and treats and the fact that the house was absolutely spotless! The house management team is a bit weak, except for Catalina that was always very helpful and quick. Houses could be finished a bit better.

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

It Conveniently located, quiet neighbourhood, convenience store and post office within a short walk.

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

Yes, although we’ve had to chase up most repairs.

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

There is an AnyVan discount, they don’t exchange keys at the house.

The design and facilities are all very good. Property management is also very good and very responsive via the app given to me. Only complaint I could have is that my bin has gone missing a few times. Not 100% how when it has my house number on, but it still seems to happen.

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

The area where I live is generally very good. I do however have the odd issue with some of the residents parking. Especially when they have visitors over.

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

I don’t wish I knew anything more than I did already.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of my home is definitely the open plan layout on the bottom floor.

Great property

The lawn is full of weeds. New turf is need and leveling out. This will have to be sorted by the tennant. The design of the property is brilliant with 3 good size bedrooms and a separate ensuite. Also a downstairs toilet. 2 parking bays for our cars. The energy efficiency of this property is excellent.

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

This is the 3 bedroom house we have been rentin from simple life for over a year. This is a spacious property and a great design. Most issues are sorted out quickly thanks to the property management team. The area is great with lots of local shop and facilities in walking distance.

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

A bit slow recently but overall fairly good. The repairs are of good quality.
