Design of the new builds are good, suits a modern comfortable living. Plenty of parking space, children playing parks are bing opened nearby, sports facilities coming up and best of the lot the cafe and convenience stores now open at an easy access. Only things left as essentials - a school and possibly a nearer GP service.

We love our simple life home, we’ve had issues in the past however they have all be resolved and I can’t complain about the management now! We love our street, it’s quiet and amazingly safe for our children to play out on. We are just a stone throw from some lovely parks and a big field which is perfect for our large family!

Dear Hayley, Thank you for your review and honest feedback. We’re sorry for the delays you are facing for your washing machine to be repaired. As you have outlined in your review, we had hoped this would be repaired sooner, however, this has flagged to us that due to the design/ layout of the kitchen, this is causing obstruction for the removal of the appliance and has meant that extra work is required to complete the repair. Although this has caused some issues for you, it has provided us with some valuable feedback for the spec of our houses which will be fedback to the relevant teams for our future homes. We can also see that you were of course told that we would reimburse you for your laundrette bills in the meantime – we’re just waiting for the receipts as requested on the maintenance portal in order for these refunds to be made. Typically we would wait for completion of the repair before issuing the reimbursement. Please continue to collate your receipts for your record, these will be required with the conclusion of the repair. Since leaving this review, contractors have been chased and a member of the maintenance team should be able to update you very shortly. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Hi Mark, Thank you for your feedback. Although we are unable to identify you via Home Views, we have had a look at our records and we believe we have been able to locate your tenancy based on the information outlined in your review. We’re sad to hear that you do not like the location of Milard Grange and the facilities existing within the development. As you will be aware, this is a large regeneration project with multiple tenures and house building partners, so we are hopeful that in due course, further shops and convenience stores will be available, however this is outside of Simple Life’s control. We’re surprised to read that you feel this way about us, particularly as you previously rented with us and chose to rent another property with us. From looking at your records we really are sorry ad sympathise with the delays you have faced regarding some maintenance works, particularly in your first property, where we had to rely on the housebuilder to fix some issues as the property was within warranty. The housebuilder took much longer than we feel is acceptable and this isn’t in line with our service expectations for our residents. However, we’re pleased to see that you recently raised a new issue which was closed out within a day. We can see that you were not happy with the deductions to your deposit for your last property, but as we have discussed in detail previously, large works has been carried out, particularly to your garden without appropriate consent from us. We’d also like to take this opportunity to confirm, that we do offer viewings for our properties – often if a home is under construction, we are unable to conduct viewings prior to taking applications, until we receive handover of the property from the housebuilder. Unfortunately this is unavoidable and standard in the new build space, however we do our best to offer as much information as possible including, images, CGIs, walk through videos where possible and floorplans, along with all room measurements.
