This week, we’re delving into the rental market around the capital, as we are joined on-location by some of the Simple Life London team.

Recording within one of the showhomes at Beam Park, we discuss how renting has – and is – changing in London, as the needs of those living in the city fluctuate to new ways of working.

From changing priorities, to the increase of Build to Rent as a viable renting option, London living isn’t just about the bright lights and high rises any more.

The conversation around renting is – slowly – starting to shift, with people coming to see it as a viable alternative lifestyle option, not second class to owning a home.

How Build to Rent providers speak to their customers is vital, showcasing not just the homes they provide, but everything that comes with having those four walls to surround you and your family.

Today’s episode looks at Simple Life’s new strategy for communicating these key messages, developed with agency Mindfield, to change perceptions.

For those looking to rent – whether by choice or in response to the housing market – finding a home you can feel secure in, from a landlord you can trust, can feel impossible.

We speak with two such companies – HomeViews and Love To Rent – to hear how they are using their services to empower renters to find their next move.
