Good Customer Service Email Support

I had issues arranging a viewing and accessing the application centre via the website. I emailed the company and was helped to book a visit and finalise my log in to the application centre by Niamh.
She responded promptly and was really helpful.

Positive tenancy

From the moment I moved in, every department has been welcoming, professional, and incredibly helpful. Response times are always quick, with clear communication and acknowledgement of any queries I’ve raised. If one person doesn’t have the answer straight away, they always go the extra mile to ensure the issue is resolved promptly.
It’s also reassuring to know there’s a reliable maintenance team in place. I recently reported an issue with my front door sticking, and it was resolved within just a few days. The speed and care taken made me feel safe and secure in my flat.
Overall, the service and support have been excellent, and it’s been a really positive experience living here so far.

Niamh was extremely responsive and helpful in helping me secure a property! Estimated response time was only a couple of minutes, almost unheard of.

Beware of this Company

These people are just put=re con merchants imo. There is no telephone nunber to reach them and the one advertised does not exist. This is an estate which I visit and every time I go there the kids are on the streets kicking balls at expensive car windows and now they are throwing stones at car windows. Before long you will see that this estate becomes like any other, usually council run, troubled estates. I am not going to deliver there again and as for recommending anyone to rent, let alone buy from them, this is a huge red flag. If they are mixing respectable law abiding citizens with those that can not be bothered to discipline their chidren then this estate is going to get out of hand very quickly. Obviously this compan is all about the money with not even a nod to the tenants and buyers who have got to live there and it is only going to get worse. Leave if you have the chance and find some where properly managed. I have spoken to many of the residents they are very unhappy. Speak with your feet and send a message to this company that they obviously do not want to hear because theire is no complaints line, no customer service ine and not even a company teleohone line that is in operation - I mean that right there says it all. What about the elderly who have not got access of a compputer and could not use it if they did, or the disabled etc - these people do not care.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience visiting the development. However, as you are not a resident and no specific development has been mentioned in your review, we’re unable to investigate the concerns raised in any meaningful way.

Our developments are mixed tenure communities, including homes for private rent, affordable housing, and homes for sale. As a build-to-rent landlord, we provide a professional management service, and all Simple Life tenants go through a rigorous referencing process before moving in.

We take all reports relating to resident behaviour and estate management seriously. If you could please respond with the name of the development you are referring to, along with any specific details of the incidents reported, we would be happy to look into this further with the relevant teams.

We also want to clarify that residents are provided with appropriate contact channels for customer service and support.

We look forward to hearing from you so we can investigate your concerns properly.

Absolutely terrible experience renting…

Absolutely terrible experience renting with Simple Life.
I’ve been renting with them for almost 2 years, and their customer service and maintenance support are among the worst I’ve ever experienced.
First of all, it is practically impossible to speak to anyone over the phone. You can spend hours waiting to get connected, and more often than not, they simply decline the call. For a company managing people’s homes, this level of communication is unacceptable.
Their maintenance process is even worse. Our fridge and freezer completely stopped working, leaving us without any way to store food properly. Instead of providing urgent assistance, tenants are forced to use an outdated and glitchy maintenance portal that barely works.
I submitted a maintenance request immediately. After 2 days, I finally received a message saying the issue had been redirected to the manufacturer. Meanwhile, we have now been living with a broken fridge and freezer for over 2 weeks.
This is not just an inconvenience, it is a health and hygiene issue. Food cannot be stored safely, groceries are constantly being wasted, and yet there seems to be no urgency or care from the company whatsoever.
Very disappointing service for a company that advertises itself as a professional landlord.

Thank you for your review and for providing us with identifiable information to investigate your comments further.

We’re very sorry to hear that this has been your experience. I am aware that you are now in contact with your Senior Maintenance Manager and, whilst we completely understand your frustration when an essential appliance stops working, we would like to provide some context regarding the delays experienced.

As your appliances are still under warranty, the fault had to be referred to the appliance manufacturer. Unfortunately, it took longer than we would have liked to arrange the initial appointment with the contractor. Following the visit last week, the manufacturer advised that the appliance now requires replacement.

In the meantime, the team are currently coordinating a temporary appliance for you whilst we await delivery of the new unit. We fully appreciate the disruption and inconvenience this situation has caused. Whilst the delays were unfortunately outside of our direct control due to the manufacturer’s warranty process, we recognise this has still had a significant impact on your day-to-day. Please be assured that we have escalated this matter directly with the manufacturer and will continue to closely monitor progress to ensure the replacement appliance is provided as quickly as possible.

Been renting at fairways Salford now…

Been renting at fairways Salford now for over a year. The garden well SHOCKING.
Soil and turf thrown over rubble. The amount of huge i picked up is crazy.
The garden is completely uneven full of nettle bushes. I have a young family with a disabled child who has nowhere controlled to play outside.
After 1 year of complaining
They finally got round to sorting it.
Result a bit of soil and grass seed in 3 areas. The garden is unsafe still, clearly needs a full re turf but that will cost them too much money. Absolute cowboys. We pay rent on time every month yet still they wont sort the issue properly.
So were forced on wasting more money on finding somewhere else to live so my kids have a safe garden to play. How they get away with this is crazy the news needs to know bout companies like these , Im seeking legal advice on the matter.

Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to raise your concerns.

We understand how important it is for your outdoor space to be safe and usable. Garden works are seasonal and can sometimes require follow-up visits, particularly on new-build properties where landscaping is still settling. That said, we recognise your concerns regarding the condition of the garden and the impact this has had.

We are aware that our team has been in regular contact with you, and that a Simple Life representative attended your home alongside the housebuilder’s developer, who acknowledged there was a defect issue falling under the developer’s responsibility. Some remedial works have already been carried out; however, we understand from your feedback that you feel these have not gone far enough to fully resolve the issue.

We have requested additional information so we can carry out a full review and ensure the matter is properly addressed.

If you are able to provide any further photos or details of the current condition, this will help us progress your case more effectively.

Simple life homes

I have recently started renting a simple life home in the Burton on Trent area. What a fantastic experience and excellent home. A special thank you to Paulina and Danielle in being extremely helpful ensuring we had everything in place for the tenancy. The entire experience has been a pleasure from start to finish and I highly recommend anyone in renting a simple life home.

When I called and spoke to James he was so helpful and really knew how to deal with me. I suffer with mental health and with the knowledge of possibly being homeless, James dealt with my situation professionally and calmly. Would highly recommend simple life. Always ask for James

Where there's a Will, there's a way...

I have recently moved into one of the Simple Life homes in Wolverhampton and we had a couple of maintenance issues that we raised, I spoke with Will today who was very professional and did an excellent job in chasing up these queries with the relevant departments to ensure that these are dealt with promptly. 5/5 stars for super customer service.

Pretty Useless

I've had multiple problems since moving into my new build flat with my "relationship manager" being absolutely useless, providing silly suggestions to problems i've endured. For the monthly amount for this apartment, i think they provide a shocking service. Wouldn't recommend to others.

Great viewing experience

I just viewed a property with Simple Life Homes and was really impressed with the modern new-build homes for rent. James was really helpful and easy to talk to, answered all my questions, and made the viewing informative. Thanks, James!
