TrustpilotStaff are very rude on the phone
Staff are very rude on the phone, kept pestering us for a deposit and because we were asking questions (because we can’t view the property before moving in) they ended up ignoring all our questions and phoning us 5 hours later to tell us the house in question has now been let agreed. Bad way to do business!

Hi Meg,Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.We’re very sorry to hear about your experience with a member of our team. As you will be aware, we have requested for some more information from you in order for us to be able to look into it further.As many of our homes are brand new and reserved off-plan, it does mean that on occasion we are unable to conduct viewings, however we do try to accommodate viewings wherever possible. We like to encourage customers to ask as many questions as they wish because we know how important it is to feel comfortable with a new home. We apologise if this isn’t the experience you have had and we would really like to resolve this for you. Our homes are often snapped up quite quickly and we operate on a first come, first served basis. However, we have plenty of the same property types in many locations so we’d love to continue to help you find your new home.If you’d like to email us at marketing@simplelifehomes.co.uk we can ensure that you’re well looked after.

I have sent 2 emails and made several ( unanswered ) calls to Simple Life over the last 3 weeks asking about availability on their Teesside developments.I haven't received any emails in response, which as a prospective tenant doesn't bode well and has made me question whether I would want to rent from this company.

Hi Mr Macdonald, We’re really disappointed to see your 1 star review and having looked in to your records we have to hold our hands up and apologise for the delays you have had getting a response from our lettings team. We can see that the first email sent to us was completely missed by the team accidentally, and the second email did take 2-3 days to get back to you, due to a very high volume of enquiries coming through during that week. I believe the branch manager has tried to make contact with you a number of times since, and he is keen to get things sorted for you. This has also been highlighted to higher management and we are working with the team in your area to ensure quicker response times are met.

Good looking property but fairly pushy staff. One of the staff members - Jade, was excellent but everyone else was pushy and inconsistent with the information provided. I would hope that this process is better explained and communicated to future tenants so that their moving journey can be simpler.

Agent replied · 16 June 2024
Hello, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re pleased to hear you were well looked after by Jade. Since leaving your review I know that Adam, our Head of BTR has been in touch to find out more information and we are aware that you felt another staff member was unable to answer some of your questions up front. As Adam has explained the person you refer to was in their first week with the company so they were still getting to grips with learning all the finer details you had asked about. We’re sorry if you were left feeling dissatisfied with the service provided.

We are wanting to relocate from Durham down to Pullman green Doncaster to be closer to family.We are very very interested in renting from simple life homes but wanted to view the house before committing ourselves. We were told there’s NO viewings allowed! Why on earth not!! !

Hi Marion, As the properties you are interested in are in the final stages of construction, we do not yet have the keys in order to conduct any viewings. We apologise if this wasn't made clear to you at the time of enquiry. We understand that our Head of BtR, Adam, has been in touch with you to explain this further, and is looking to arrange a viewing with you once we have possession of the properties next week.

Impossible to get in contact with simple life. They take your deposit and then that it. Phones lines never work and no response to emails. Worst company I’ve rented from. They unfortunately have beautiful properties. But you have to tell yourself is it worth the stress? I honestly can not say a good word about the company

Hello, We're sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the service provided to you. As you will know we have requested further identifiable information from you via Trust Pilot but we have unfortunately had no response from you. Without this information we are unable to locate your tenancy for us to look in to this for you and to help you further.We would like to take this opportunity to highlight that if any resident is unhappy with proposed deductions from their deposit at the end of their tenancy, they have the opportunity to dispute this with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, who act as an independent adjudicator on behalf of both parties. They will review all information provided and will make a final decision on deposit deductions to ensure that these are always reasonable and fair.

So far what we've experienced is all good. They live up to their mission in providing a quality home and good environment for their residents. Plus any concerns are managed and resolved easily through FixFlo. On top of it, our asset manager is very accommodating. Would definitely recommend this to my colleagues and friends. #SETTLEFORMORE

This is my first time using Simple Life and I have to say it is by far is the best company I have ever worked with! Their communication methods and relationship with consumers is exceptional and should be ,in my opinion, a landmark for other letting agents.

TrustpilotAvoid simple life homes.
No one ever replies to emails or returns your calls. We had an attempted burglary recently and i'm still waiting months after reporting for permission to install a flood light for our safety. This is just the most recent issue from a long chain of incompetence and avoidance. Worst renting experience of my life. AVOID.

Hello,Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. Firstly, we’re very sorry to hear about your burglary. It is very important to us that our residents feel safe in their homes, so we are very disappointed to hear that you’ve had trouble getting a response from your property manager.We’ve been closely monitoring the performance of our customer service team and we recently took the decision to put a new team in place. We appreciate that this won’t change your experience, but we hope that now your site is under new care, you will see an improvement.The new team have checked your records and we can see that there are no outstanding works on your FixFlo maintenance account, so your Asset Manager wasn’t aware of your situation. We apologise for any breakdown in communication between our old and new team. We’re pleased to see that our Head of BTR has personally given you a call and has confirmed approval of the external light and is getting this installed as a matter of urgency for you today.
