Overall a peaceful place to stay

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is very convenient, only a few minutes each way to a supermarket, store or the town centre itself. While being close to these it remains quite and peaceful at all hours. Very nice place to stay
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have been very quick to get contractors arranged and attending. Only suffering minor issues like a faulty smoke alarm and light fixture.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
My only complaint if any, was that the walk around video wasn't as accurate as the actual property. Though the bits missing are very minor, it would have been nice to know about them before hand, so it could be arranged and resolved quickly

Hi Andrew, Thank you for your wonderful review and for recommending Simple Life as your landlord! We welcome your feedback on our property videos - if you could inform us of what wasn't as expected at slmarketing@simplelifehomes.com. Our videos are taken of the property types which we have across our portfolio, so whilst it won't be the specific plot and on some occassions the spec may vary slightly, the layout of the house should be the same.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Everything cheap quality for extortionate price. Lots of thefts. No shops and open spaces debatably unsafe for pets off lead due to “wildflower” spaces
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
10 weeks late on washing machine repair/ replacement.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Pets allowed but sacrifice on other things. Car parking not regulation

Hi Greg, Thank you for your review and honest feedback. We’re sorry that you have experienced delays and issues getting your washing machine repaired. We’re unable to specifically identify residents via Home Views as this information is not made available to us, but we would like to offer our apologies for the inconvenience this must have caused. For washing machine repairs we are reliant on the manufacturer due to items being within warranty and unfortunately late last year, we were having problems with the service provided by one of our white goods providers. Having worked tirelessly to get this resolved with them, we’re pleased to say things are back on track. We also note your comments regarding wildflower gardens and dog waste bins. As this is a completed site, the roads are adopted by the council and therefore they are responsible for these items.
