GoogleIt was a long hunt for the rented house but when I got this apartment through leaders they made it easier for all the process. Thank you leaders for the hard work you are doing. Kudos and keep up the same. Special thanks to Chloe who made everything smooth for me she was patient and always ready to help because there were certain things that I was not able to understand but she took time to explain me. Thanks a lot again.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleAs a landlord who assigned ten properties to Leaders in Bedford, I cannot begin to articulate the depths of despair this agency have driven me and my brother to. In lockdown, they wouldn't agree to call my disabled and diabetic brother who couldn't manage emails (discrimination) and advised their staff did not have mobile phones. My brother died during the pandemic and they would not pay the rents, although collected, to the bank account which was held jointly with my mother, the joint owner of the properties (also illegal). They didn't check the condition of any properties even via video calls although taking the same fees throughout. They gave the properties to the worst imaginable tenants causing police raids on several occasions for gun and drug related crimes. Properties were destroyed and they showed little interest. They breached numerous instructions causing huge unnecessary expenses. I had to write to Head Office to be released from the contract because Shaun Barnett the Manager wouldn't agree to the same. If you want a fuller explanation of what it is like to deal with Leaders in Bedford, feel free to contact me via Rentanyproperty who are my current and extremely professional agents. Incidentally, my experience of Leaders in St Albans has been amazing but this is a franchise and one cannot assume the same level of service from every branch. If you are in Bedford, try Jamal at Rentanyproperty.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleMy review is specifically and only for Holly who is currently my Property Manager. Since my properties have been looked after by Holly things have improved from the property management perspective. Holly is responsive, professional, organised, helpful and courteous. She has helped me enormously recently where tenants refused to leave a property and eventually left it in a poor state. All now resolved thanks to Holly's help.

GoogleLeaders have been brilliant when me and my partner have been applying for a flat! Thank you so much to Ben for supporting us and keeping us updated every day by answering our inquires and problems straight away, making the process much easier with no worries! I would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in renting or buying a property as leaders.

GoogleI would like to say that Leaders have been totally exceptional - especially Hannah Hodgson. From the start of my journey to gain a property she has been fantastic. She was always very efficient and professional in her role of trying to find me a property.
On a final note, I have dealt with many estate agent’s but none as enthusiastic and helpful as Hannah Hodgson has been. Thank you very much Hannah Hodgson for all your help - I wish you all the best in the future - Leaders are very lucky to have you👍.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleI have contacted them regarding a flat I wanted to rent but no chance to get hold of them. I have spoken to someone on Thursday and I have asked to arrange a viewing if possible but they said it is impossible during these time and I perfectly understood. However they have agreed to sent me a video of the flat. As soon as I finished to watch the video I contacted them back and I said that I would like to rent it and to let me know the following steps. Even for the email it took about 4 hours to be sent... and after 3 calls I have made and spoken to them. So that Thursday I was told that somebody will get in touch with me. It didn’t happen. The next day... I called them but no answer... I kept calling them and in the end I could speak to someone and told them I will not be able to pick the call before 4pm as I will be at work but given my partner’s phone number instead. No calls from them as they said. Today, Monday I called them back and they said the flat is no longer available as it’s been rented by someone else.
What attitude is this? Reliable? No.
When you have someone interested ... this is not how you should treat the client. Unless you just do not care... not bothered... apologises? What for?
Very unprofessional.
That was my experience. Never recommend them to anyone and never get back to them.
Irresponsible and so on...
1 star... don’t really know for what...

GoogleMyles was absolutely lovely getting us setup and ensuring the move happened with as few problems as possible. However, I did not give 5 stars because of the referencing team that handled my partner and I references. We filled in all the paperwork and attached payslips and bank statements, even our employers and managers numbers and professional emails yet the referencing team did not check this properly and initially declined our application. They even asked my partner (who has worked as a pharmacist for over 4 years) if he wrote his reference himself! What kind of nonsense is that? I cannot help but feel discriminated against! They even asked him for his manager to call them! I've never heard of this before! But my partner did as requested then when his manager called, they said they don't need the call!! What an embarrassment and complete waste of time! It was our letting negotiator Myles who had to contact them and resend the same documents we had already filled in! Very unprofessional attitude towards us from the referencing team. A shame as Myles was so lovely towards us.

GoogleI am writing this review as a first time renter.
We had been looking for a property to rent for weeks on end but was only met by disappointment from other local estate agencies. Then, when we came across a property let by Leaders things started to look really positive.
Kim from leaders replied to us the same day we first enquired about a properly. From there we were able to kick off the process quickly and smoothly.
Kim was professional understood this was our first time renting which made us comfortable (especially during the height of the Covid-19 Pandemic).
I have now been living in the property Lent by Leaders for a month now. So far there has been no problems. I would also like to give thanks to Chandan our Property Manager who has helped with any queries we've had regarding the property itself.
In summery; I would ONLY recommend Leaders. From my experience no estate agency has had the professionalisation, time or courtesy as Leaders have shown.
Thank you to everyone at Leaders!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

After a few months at the property I'd like to add to my previous review. Chandan teji who is part of the property management team has been excellent throughout helping me with any issue I have had.
She also very pleasant to talk to over the phone. Very professional and comes across very sincere. I hope the employers appreciate her professionalism and care duty of her clients.PositiveQuality, Professionalism

GoogleThe process of my moving was quite stressful but a bit quick, and Hannah was always ready to help. However, when I moved into my property the bins were already full of all sorts which the bin men have refuse to pick up and I didn't make that mess, I reported to leaders and they haven't done anything yet. Plus the shower is impossible to close after is switched on.
Overall I will give Hannah a 4 star for her hard work and 1 star to whoever is in charge of the property that am currently in, they just fixed one problem.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality

GoogleAvoid them if you can. From day one, they were dishonest about the contents of the property during the viewings (promising appliances, etc.). It not only happened to me before I moved in, they were also offering my appliances to the next tenants on viewings. It's impossible to get a response from them about anything, as they lack communication skills. I had many problems just trying to collect the keys to the house I rented from them. After that, for over a year, they did everything they could to avoid addressing my inquiries, constantly directing me to contact the landlord. At one point, I wasn't even sure if I was living in the property legally, as my fixed-term contract had expired, and they couldn't be bothered to respond to any of my multiple emails about extending it.
At the end of the tenancy (this part is the best), both the landlord and I had to fight with them to get my deposit back (which I still haven't received). They did not take action to return the deposit for two weeks after I moved out. When I finally called to ask what was going on, they lied to me, saying the landlord had my deposit. It took about 15 calls between me, them, and the landlord to figure out where the money was. All of this was placed on me, as they insisted that I had to contact the landlord and somehow get him to send them the appropriate emails. Thankfully, Sam (landlord) wanted to resolve the situation just as much as I did, and after several days, Leaders finally confirmed they would release the deposit.
They never provided instructions on when, how, or where to drop the keys off after moving out. They never confirmed whether they were satisfied with the state of the property once I had vacated. They also failed to act on returning the deposit. If I hadn't reached out to them, I would still have the keys and no deposit, as they simply don’t care.
I’m not sure if it matters, but every time I spoke to or emailed someone from Leaders, it was a different person. My property manager’s name was either Katy, Kate, or Katie, I’m not sure how to spell her name because I never received an email directly from her.

GoogleWhen I was on the look out to rent out properties in the area, Laura could not of been more helpful. She has been such a pleasure speaking with and putting all of my worries and concern at ease. Things were easy straight from the get go! Through unforeseen circumstances I couldn't go forward with renting out in that particular area. But I would definitely recommended Laura and hope to be in contact with her in the future! My only negative comment would be I couldn't take Laura to run all of my other Properties over the country. True asset to Leaders.

GoogleJust a little thanks to Amy for the service that she has provided my boyfriend and I. She is bubbly, friendly, and didn't make me feel weird for getting ecstatic about properties as this was my first time renting! Unlike other encounters I've had, she actually bothered to get to know what my likes and dislikes were and recommended properties to me off the back of this. Although there have been a few bumps, as I'm sure is to be expected with any new tenancy, Amy has been prepared to stay late for me to go through contracts as well as to go that extra mile to check in on how things are going/how I'm feeling. A personal touch that truly goes a long way.

GoogleI strongly advise everyone to work with Leaders Bedford. Lauren was amazing throughout as she was kind, attentive, approachable and she definitely is a problem solver. Our nightmare of house hunting turned into a smooth process. Even though we lived 3 hours away every detail was solved over the phone or via e-mail. I want to thank Lauren and the rest of the team as everyone was very helpful.
