Delays on deposit return
I have rented two properties through this company, and overall the tenancy experience itself was positive. The properties were well managed, communication during the tenancy was generally good, and when I moved out of my previous property, my deposit was returned very quickly without any issues.
Unfortunately, my experience at the end of my most recent tenancy has been very different. It has now been a month since I vacated the property, and nearly three weeks since I received written confirmation following the inspection that my full deposit would be returned.
Despite this confirmation, the deposit return has still not been processed. I have contacted the company on two separate occasions for an update, but have received no meaningful progress. Furthermore, no action appears to have been taken with TDS during this period, leaving me to initiate the process myself.
It is disappointing because my previous experience with the company was excellent, and this delay seems entirely unnecessary given that the full deposit return was agreed. I hope this is simply an administrative issue that can be resolved promptly, but it has unfortunately overshadowed what was otherwise a positive renting experience.

Getting them to sort issues is not a "simple life"
Getting them to sort issues is anything but simple, most frustrating landlord I've ever had to deal with. Replace the batteries in the carbon dioxide and smoke alarms in the surrounding empty houses - they've been beeping for months, every 30 seconds. How is this anything but a 5 minute job to be done, instead it's literally anyone else's problem and "will be done" but never is.

No communication available
We were looking at renting a property, called so many times, no answer. When someone actually answered, they were leaving a message to someone who as they said will call back. That obviously didn’t happen. Not sure what is the phone line for, but not a good start if you looking for a good letting agency.

Zero communication, unresolved safety issues
I am a current tenant with Simple Life and have had an extremely disappointing experience from the very start.
Despite signing my tenancy agreement and submitting my inventory, neither document has ever been formally acknowledged by Simple Life. I have had no written confirmation that they even hold these on file.
More seriously, the balcony door/window was already broken when I moved in. This was noted on the inventory. I have since sent multiple emails and made several phone calls to report this — and have received absolutely no response. The repair remains unresolved, leaving a security risk in my home.
Simple Life appears to be completely unreachable. Emails go unanswered, phone calls go nowhere. As a tenant, you are left with no support and no point of contact.
I have now raised a formal complaint and am prepared to escalate to the Property Redress Scheme if this is not resolved.
I would strongly caution anyone considering renting through Simple Life to think carefully before doing so.

Amber is incredible
Amber is incredible! From our very first interaction, right up until we were ready to be handed over to the next stage of our application, she listened to all of my worries and concerns, communicated everything I needed to know promptly and on the very same day Amber contacted me, we had already chosen and reserved our new home. I cannot thank you enough Amber, you are a credit to Simple Life!
