Some houses are build on hills and have no practicality to them, especially with young children who can’t climb up hills/need flat land when learning to walk. Little bedroom could actual be a lot bigger as you can’t swing a cat in there never mind bedroom furniture. It’s more of a closet/dressing room that a bedroom. Everything else is great!

I can't fault the properties although their is a variance in garden sizes throughout the development. Most have some sort of sloop on them which can be a pain. The energy ratings and warmth of the properties in the winter is excellent and are very easy to run, you won't need the heating on long. The biggest thing that lets the sight down is the maintenance contractor for the front gardens and the area around the small park. They're very sporadic in turning up and the effort put into making the fronts look nice is minimal. For example all the owners contribute to a pot to keep the estate look nice (Simple Life pays ours), the area around the park has damaged fencing and grass that doesn't get cut. Shame as this would be a nice community area. As for Simple Life in requesting problems are excellent through their portal, but directly contact the asset manager has been heard as they seem to change them on a regular basis and aren't the quickest at replying back to you. The My Simple Life app needs to be maintained more regularly, for example my tenancy agreement and gas inspection has been renewed and still showing from 2 years ago.

Thank you for your feedback on the grounds maintenance - this will be fed back in to the team to check up on for you. In regards to the app - everything pulling through should be the most recent documents.

Urgent problems were solved very quickly after contacting property management. Very friendly staff from simple life so far, pleased. The house has a pleasant modern design, with storage and a amazing backyard. Additionally, if you are looking for a place to rent and you have a furry friend you can relax because the properties are pet friendly!

Love house but the fronts could do looking after better ie the grass and the weeds and the silly bark that just seems to get thrown everywhere.the company that tends to this just seem to cut the grass then leave all the cuttings to blow in your house,not very good.

Electronic devices purchased for home use are not of good quality. especially oven and washing machine. The toilet sink downstairs is very small. The bathtub is not used now, the normal shower is more beautiful.There is enough storage space at home.
Manager response
Hi Bilal, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re disappointed to hear that you feel the appliances are not of good quality. We tend to include well-known trusted brands such as Electrolux, Whirlpool and Indesit. We’ve believe we have been able to identify you based on the information provided and our Head of BTR has investigated the timeline to get your carpet sorted. We can see that there has been a delay and a breakdown in communication our end, which we can only apologise for –these are not the standards we pride ourselves on. We can see that the Asset Manager has been chasing the works with the contractor, but they have failed to be updating you, which is our expectation. The works have been reviewed and will be sorted for you very shortly.
