Very professional service overall. Our agent assisted us very helpfully and closelythroughout the entire moving process, which can sometimes throw up a few surprises! This was welcome as it did a lot to calm our nerves

This will be the third set of tenants that Selwyn has secured for us within a very short timescale. His guidance on marketing, price and upgrades to the flat was spot on. He secured new tenants within two days which is the fastest to date. I thoroughly recommend Selwyn and the team at Leaders.

Really great communication and customer service, thanks so much for your efforts! The agent I was in contact with was Selwyn and they did a great job in keeping in contact with me whilst I was trying to find somewhere to live and keeping me updated.

Organising a viewing, putting in an offer and the steps that followed were made clear and easy. There was always someone to talk to and we were taken through it step by step. You definitely feel like they are there to help you.

I would just like to say how lovely and professional Caitlin from your Forest Hill office was. I've viewed a number of apartments recently with many agencies and found Caitlin to be knowledgable and affable. She was able to answer my questions (How long is the lease etc) without hesitation and also gave me historical information regarding the building, it's architectural style, etc. It's refreshing to meet an agent who has done this much research!

Excellent service from Leaders. The whole experience was efficient and timely. They understood our requirements as a landlord from the very beginning. They communicate well, respond to emails and created very good advertisement to promote our very unusual property. Thank you all very much to Jenny the Manager, Selwyn, Michael and Caitlin for the very good service you have provided so far ! and we look forward to working with you during the management of our property.

From tenant perspective - worse than an average agency in London, which actually needs some effort to achieve, although any agent will treat you like garbage once (or even before) they get the money. Incompetent, not caring, rude. For the money they charge it should have been unacceptable, but it is a standard. Do not expect anything - in fact expect them to make your rental troublesome and gruelling. Avoid at all cost - please, please - they don't guarantee you anything and will wash their hand off clean on first sign of trouble. Especially when the money changed hands. Tenants beware - I cannot stress this enough - they can't even provide a working monoxide detector for weeks after we moved in. The inspectors are rude and make you feel like a beggar. They allow landlords to ignore tenants completely in properties they manage. They don't care about anything but their own good. You have been warned.

Marcin · 26 December 2017 · Leaders London

Agent replied

Hi Marcin, many thanks for taking the time to leave us your honest feedback. We are disappointed to hear that you feel your experience with our Forest Hill branch did not meet your expectations. After making contact with the branch on this matter, I understand you faced some inconvenience when requesting for the property to be decorated, to which the landlord declined. Unfortunately when the landlord rejects these requests, as it is essentially their responsibility to carry such works out, so there is nothing at all we can do as it is solely their decision. I apologise for any issues this may have caused for you. I also understand that you have been facing some issues within the property during the recent months, including shower fittings that need fixing, blinds that you requested to be replaced, a Carbon Monoxide alarm, as well as the gas hob ignition button not working correctly. The branch have worked extra hard to ensure all of these are looked into to minimise any inconvenience on your side. As I understand it the Carbon Monoxide alarm has been provided, the shower fixings quote sent directly over to the Landlord for feedback and the request to have the blinds replaced was unfortunately declined by the Landlord which as I mentioned above, is out of our control. The gas hob ignition button on the appliance was made aware to the Landlord, who has said that this is also something he is not willing to replace as the hob is still able to be ignited by an external source (ie. a match or candle lighter), and therefore not faulty. He has confirmed that this appliance remains safe to use. Again, we apologise that this was beyond our control and for any inconvenience caused. I understand that you have conversed with both the property manager and the head of property management this week to express your concerns on this matter, who are both keen to reach a resolution with you. I hope this information helps to clarify, however should you want to discuss anything further, please do not hesitate to contact your property manager.

Leaders Forest Hill was accommodating in all my queries and concerns regarding the flat throughout the whole period. They take action on every requests, and gets into the issue resolved in reasonable time. Special mention to Lydia who had been so quick in responding to my queries. She has been really helpful in my needs as a tenant and provides valuable information when I started renting the flat. Special shout out as well to Selwyn who had been a great support to my move and was very respectful and friendly.

Nick and Jenny from Leaders have been phenomenal. He was nice to make a last minute viewing for me as I was walking past the property with a 'For Sale' sign, kind enough to wait as I REALLY took my time inspecting each nook and cranny. Responded quickly the next day with a second viewing as well. Highly recommend Leaders should you want to sell or rent your property. Nick and Jenny will be our agents again. Definitely!!

OUTSTANDING! BEST AGENTS I HAVE DEALT WITH! Leaders Forest Hill have let two of my properties in the area for me for a few years now and I can honestly say they have been brilliant. From the marketing to the block viewings to choosing the best fit of tenant, to the paperwork - which is done online. All makes my life sooo much easier! My tenants are lovely too! Thanks to all the team!

Worst agency ever! Lock out of the house due to their fault (they gave the plumber a key I don't have) and no help at all!! Asked to leave the house after 6 months and again no help or flexibility at all!! So do yourself a favour and go for another agency.

The laziest so called 'estate agents' I have ever had an experience of dealing with. They are slow in coming back to you when you have a query which we found when looking to rent and especially when tenancy ended and we had a dispute with our landlord. Never dealing with them again 2/5 is kind

Very bad service agent is not arrived at my meeting on the rental home .. The house was to be the minor renovation and painting and it turned out that the house is a fungus, mold and so on. Complete mistake and a waste of time customers do not recommend

I'm generally not a fan of negative reviews, quite often most are petty and pointless but unfortunately my recent dreadful experience with Leaders of Surbiton could be useful for anyone considering renting one of their advertised properties. My wife and I saw a flat we liked and immediately called Leaders for more information, one of my first questions being are there any restrictions regarding children? To which I was informed there were none. We viewed the flat and made an offer of the full asking price and stated we would be able to move into the flat in three and a half weeks. We were told the Landlord didn't want to discuss paperwork with us for another week as he wanted someone to move in sooner. The leaders office staff assured us the flat would be ours and not to worry, we would have pulled out then and there were it not for this reassurance. After a week we were told to wait another 3 days as the Landlord was away. Finally the Lanlord agreed and accepted our holding deposit. With less that a week and a half to go before the move with removals booked and new home insurance ordered, we were informed by Leaders that the Landlord didn't want children in his property and had never agreed to children! So thanks to Leaders we could have been homeless in 10 days. The communication from Leaders was poor from the start, abrupt, and lacking any urgency, which is very unhelpful when moving home. The £492 admin fee is extortionate but fortunately we did get this back. If looking for a first rate professional service my advice would be to look elsewhere.

Sean · 26 November 2017 · Leaders Surbiton

Agent replied

Hi Sean, thank you for taking the time to leave your honest feedback. We have spoken to the Branch Manager with regards to your feedback who has provided some clarity on the situation. For the property in question the Landlord prefers for a 3rd party to be their point of contact throughout the letting process, rather than directly dealing with the offers and feedback themselves, and has instructed Leaders to take instruction solely from this spokesperson throughout the process. The previous tenant of the property had a child and we received confirmation from the spokesperson that the Landlord would be happy to accept children once more and there were no restrictions in this regard, however, this was an incorrect instruction. Unfortunately this only came to light after the referencing process, whereby the Landlord requested to withdraw from the potential let. We understand that this has caused severe inconvenience for you and would like to relay our sincere apologies, however it was not our intention to do so, as we were only able to act upon the Landlord’s spokesperson’s instruction (which unfortunately turned out to be incorrect). If you would like to discuss the matter further please do not hesitate to contact the Branch Manager. We wish you all the best for your property search.
