Four Corners Recensioni 

I rented through Simple Life Homes/Four Corners until October 2026, and the move-out process has been extremely frustrating.

Over five weeks ago, I asked for the pre-move-out inspection that Simple Life/Four Corners themselves recommend, so I could fix any concerns before leaving. They told me it would be booked. Nobody followed up and the inspection never happened.

I left the property spotless and returned my keys on the agreed date, over three weeks ago. Since then, I’ve lodged a deposit repayment request through TDS and emailed Simple Life/Four Corners directly, asking them to confirm they’d received my email. Not a single reply, not even an acknowledgement.

New tenants have already moved in, so the property has been inspected and re-let. Simple Life/Four Corners has had plenty of time to contact me about my deposit, and still nobody has bothered.

I did everything asked of me, on time. In return I’ve been completely ignored. Tenants shouldn’t have to chase a letting company for basic communication about their own money. This sums up the quality of service you'll receive as a tenant.

I’ll update this review once the deposit is resolved.

The process has been really smooth. Amber who has been my initial point of contact has been really communicative and helpful. She has walked me through the process and answered any questions that I have had with clarity.

Four Corners is just a rebrand of SIMPLE LIFE HOMES - same staff, but the customer service is much worse, even the new Operations Director for Four Corners, Andrew Seldon, isn’t bothered by this! If you ring the Simple Life Homes contact number you get the same people answering as you do when you ring the Four Corners contact number!

Before considering to rent a property through Four Corners, I would recommend that you read all the negative reviews about Simple Life Homes because Four Corners are a lot worse!

**An Absolutely Outstanding Experience – Thank You, Caitlin Wilkinson! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**

I genuinely cannot recommend **Caitlin Wilkinson** highly enough!

From start to finish, Caitlin has been absolutely amazing. The level of service, communication and support we've received has been nothing short of exceptional, and we honestly couldn't be happier!

Moving home can be stressful, but Caitlin has made the entire process so much easier. Her professionalism, friendly manner, positive attitude and willingness to go above and beyond have been second to none.

What really stood out was how proactive she has been throughout. Caitlin has consistently kept us updated, gone out of her way to chase things internally on our behalf and made sure we were never left wondering what was happening. Nothing has ever seemed too much trouble!

It's rare to come across someone who combines such a high level of professionalism with such a genuinely friendly and approachable personality. Even the smallest conversations have made the whole experience that little bit better!

We're now incredibly excited to be moving into our new home, and a huge part of that is down to the fantastic support Caitlin has provided.

**Caitlin, once again, thank you so, so much for everything!**
Your continued support, hard work and kindness have been massively appreciated, and you've been an absolute credit to your company.

If everyone provided the level of customer service Caitlin does, moving home would be a breeze!

**A genuine 10/10 experience – thank you again, Caitlin! 👏**

Amazing communication from both Caitlin and Christine. I have sent numerous emails and nothing has been too much for either of them, always replying promptly too.
They have made this entire process so much easier!

Annie was really helpful and friendly and helped with any enquires we had, would definitely recommend!

Four Corners have only recently taken over management of my property, so this is my first experience dealing with them.

Shortly after taking over, I reported significant wear to an area of laminate flooring which has developed over approximately five years of tenancy. I reported it as wear and tear and asked for it to be inspected.

I was subsequently told that the flooring was considered outside of standard wear and tear and that I would be responsible for £764.91 towards a £1,529.82 replacement quotation. The calculation was based on the property being five years old and the flooring supposedly having a 10+ year lifespan.

I disputed the charge and asked for the basis and evidence supporting that conclusion. The £764.91 charge was then removed but rather than resolving the maintenance issue, the repair was closed, no further communication on how to resolve it.

What I find particularly frustrating is what I was told next. Essentially, I don't have to pay for the replacement now, but if the flooring isn't replaced during my tenancy, the matter may be reconsidered and deducted from my deposit at the end of the tenancy.

I haven't given notice to leave or indicated that I'm moving out, so I find it strange that a maintenance issue I've reported is being closed while I'm effectively being warned about a potential deposit deduction at some unspecified point in the future.

I also questioned the proposed scope of the work. I was told the entire ground floor flooring would need replacing because the affected planks could not be replaced due to a mismatch. However, I have identified the exact flooring as Elka Driftwood Oak 8mm V Groove, which is still available. I've found packs of 9 planks for around £30-£35, and I've also seen the same flooring being installed elsewhere in the development.

I'm not suggesting that a complete repair would cost £30, as obviously labour and other materials need to be considered. However, given that the exact flooring is still available, I would have expected a more proportionate repair to at least be considered before proposing a £1,529.82 whole floor replacement.
The end result is that the charge has been removed, but the flooring remains unrepaired and I've been left with the warning that the issue may be pursued through my deposit in the future.
I found the whole situation unnecessarily stressful. This is not the kind of experience I expected from a new managing agent, and it's certainly not one that has left me feeling confident about raising maintenance issues in the future.

Couldn't rate Will high enough! Through what has been an awful start sadly to our tenancy. With delays, extreme lack of communication regardless of how many times I email or call. Will has been the exception. He has been amazing and thoroughly communicative throughout. He has been kind, understanding, reassuring and nothing has been too much for him. Hopefully things will start to look up for us and our new tenancy however Will saved the whole process for us. Thanks again will!
