Amazing houses, good neighbours and very professional but also ready to go the extra mile in securing a good tenant and helping with everything involved. Friendly, reliable and approachable, he never failed to either pick up the phone or ring back and helpfully acted as an intermediary between me and my vendor's slow solicitor! He helped make the whole experience a little less stressful.

Any problems we have had in the house have been dealt with efficiently and resolved quite quickly. Outside garden maintenance is poor and could be improved. The Company that provide this service just do the minimum as quickly as possible. The plants and shrubs are of a poor quality and die off easily

Design is fine. Building was put up so quickly we had many issues that took a while to be fixed but can be difficult getting appointments for things being fixed by Simple Life and their team of handymen are perhaps rushing jobs shall we say which in turn means getting them back a second, third, or in my case four times for one job.
Manager response
Hi Sam, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Simple Life. Just to be be clear, Simple Life is your landlord - we are a build to rent specialist, so you are renting from a corporate landlord. As industry standard and outlined in your tenancy agreement, your rent will be reviewed once per year. We appreciate the current climate is difficult for everyone, so during Covid, we stopped all rent increases for a year. Whilst we inevitably have to increase rents in line with the market, please rest assured that we do always consider this carefully and ensure our rents are fair and comparable to rents in the local area. We can see that you are not so satisfied with the local area. As your current tenancy term comes to an end, please do et in touch with us as we would be happy to look for another Simple Life home for you in an area that suits you.

Quite like the overall design of the house, spacious kitchen and rooms for a 2-people household. It would be better if the mirrors are installed inside the wardrobe but not facing to the bed (with open doors not sliding doors). The property manager is responsible and reply promptly if we have any queries.
Manager response
Hi Cherry, Thank you for your review of Ward's Keep. We're pleased to hear that you're happy in your home. We're more than happy to speak to your neighbours about the parking situation - please just get in touch with your Asset Manager so we are able to identify you and your exact property. Additionally, we're sorry you faced some maintenance issues once you moved in. As you will have seen, we do a property MOT prior to new residents moving in - this helps to mitigate the risk of residents having to report maintenance snags upon move in, so we will feedback water pressure as a possible addition for future. Thank you for your helpful feedback.

Living in our local area is quite good however we would like plants and flowers to be trimmed on a regular basis. We have a big Bush of lavender placed right in front of our doorstep and its really bothering us because its the home of soo many bees. Everytime we open the front door to go in and out we the bees come inside. Wheneber my young 1 and half old daughter goes out to play she gets stinged by a bee because she loves to touch the lavender plants. We have complainer so many times but we are not allowed to cut it. We would like it to be changed to grass or kept at a minimum and trimmed on a regular basis because its becoming a health and safety issue.
