Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Prince's Gardens is very close to all the amenities you could need. There's a tram stop nearby and bus stops close too.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There was no TV aerial installed in the property. Though, the landlord gave us permission to install Sky TV.
Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:
Flatter garden. My property has quite a steep garden and a flatter garden would allow us to use it more.

Beware antisocial neighbours

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The house and driveway are nice. However we’ve had new neighbours move in who are extremely noisy and anti-social. Simple life seem to have turned a blind eye. Please be aware that although most neighbours are decent there are some extremely antisocial ones around. You won’t get any help from Simple Life.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have responded poorly to the neighbours breaking Simple Life’s own tenant charter. These people are causing a noise disturbance and littering outside.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known if you have a problem with your neighbours being antisocial; Simple Life will turn a blind eye and leave you to it. No consequences for antisocial behaviour.

Hello, Thank you for your review. We’re so sorry that you’re having problems with your neighbour. With any antisocial behaviour, the first port of call would always be to contact the local council or the police but we do encourage residents to keep us informed of any further occurrences so we can support the situation as much as possible. Antisocial behaviour is not tolerated by Simple Life, however in order for a fair outcome for both parties to be arranged, evidence is often required and the council has more power in these circumstances to apply fines etc. If the problem persists, as your landlord, we can serve warnings and in very serious circumstances, notice to the people responsible may be served, however please be aware that this is a legal process and unfortunately can take quite some time, which is out of our hands. As we are unable to identify you from your review, we would really like the opportunity to find out some more, so please could you get in touch with our Team Leader, James Hardern: james.hardern@simplelifehomes.co.uk.

Hi Ben, Thank you for your feedback. We're really sorry to hear that you feel it has taken too long to get issues resolved. There was admittedly quite a few delays due to Covid restrictions and additionally, we have since made a lot of changes to the team in order to bring the service up to the standards we pride ourselves on, so we do hope you have seen an improvement in this area. Overall, we're delighted to see that you rate the development quite highly.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Fantastic development, lovely homes and quiet location with great local amenities.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I would have liked to have know the actual dimensions of the property before we moved in as this was our first home and would have been ideal so we could have ordered furniture beforehand.
What is the best feature of your home:
Modern styling and great size with plenty of space for storage.
