THE SIMPLE LIFE CHAT - Series One

The first episode speaks with three members of the Simple Life team, introducing listeners to who we are as a brand from the perspective of marketing, lettings and ongoing maintenance and management.

When you hear the word ‘renting’, do you instantly think of dodgy landlords, mouldy walls and money down the drain? The market is changing, and through professional landlords like Simple Life customers can find dream homes with flexibility, security, and consistency.

Hear from real Simple Life residents as we’re joined by Brittany, a 21-year-old renter from the Midlands, and Amber & Dan, a newly engaged couple renting a 3 bedroom home in Merseyside.

There is no such thing as a typical renter, and every situation and circumstance is different that leads customers to choose Simple Life homes. From moving in together for the first time, professionals exploring a new location due to work, or families looking to put down roots, there’s a place to call home.

Life throws up all sorts of challenges along the way, from the stresses of finding a new home, to anxiety around global issues. The way we approach, deal with, and accept these stresses can help turn every situation into a positive experience.

This episode sees us chat with two experts in mindset and mental resilience – one of which rents from Simple Life – who walk us through tips and trips to cope with everything life brings.

It’s the little things that can make a real difference to bringing residents peace of mind when they rent a home.

But it’s about more than just practical processes – giving back to customers is a key to Simple Life’s success, and in this episode hear from both a team member and a resident as also discuss the annual Peace of Mind Month competition, and how it makes a real difference to those who get involved.

In 2020, Simple Life conducted an important piece of market research, the first of its kind, to delve into the rental market and find out who renters really are.

From demographics, ages and lifestyles, to motivations to rent and aspirations for their homes, this research uncovered some of the hidden truths and misconceptions about the market.

In this episode of The Simple Life Chat, hear from the Simple Life team and the research company about what this report has uncovered, and how it’s already being used to improve the lives and expectations of renters.

It’s been a buzzword for many years now but sustainability remains fundamental and of real significance to the survival of the planet and human race, not to mention the businesses and lives we lead.

But what does it mean in reality? What actions are we taking to actively create a lasting impact on the earth’s future?

In this double-length episode, we’re joined four key partners, discussing how collaboration, ambition, and bravery are all part of the journey towards ensuring the tomorrows keep on coming.
