GoogleAvoid like fire!!! If I had known how unprofessional they are, I'd never rent with them! (Leaders company.)Unfortunately, I've only read bad reviews after signing the contract. They seemed very professional at first. Then all hell broke loose. Problems never stopped until the end of the contract. Flat was very dirty when recieved keys, they claimed it was cleaned. Certain aspects of tenancy agreement were fixed to my liking (as there was some vague stuff in it), to be never fulfilled in real life. Communication lacked of politeness, to put it likely. Issues weren't resolved. They tried to twist everything and blame us. Safe yourselves time, nerves and money. I'd give zero stars if I could!NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleCouldn’t name a better estate agents. Me and my partner was looking for our first flat and being young no other estate agents was taking us seriously but it wasn’t until I got in contact with leaders where it actually felt like it was getting someone. Laura was amazing, she really made the transition smooth especially when it came to referencing as it was the first time we have ever had to do it. We moved into our first flat and then it went a bit wrong but Laura was amazing and really helped us so much. She helped us find a new place and within a week we had moved it. It literally recommend her to everyone I talk it. Thank you for a good experience.

GoogleI was very happy with the service received from Leaders during my recent purchase. Charlotte totally strikes the right balance.
She accommodated my multiple requests for visits and was happy to proceed at a pace that I felt comfortable with. She contacted me with important updates only. Towards completion I had some additional concerns which she navigated me through with ease. Charlotte is a great asset to this business. Thanks for your help!

GoogleCommunication between letting agent and vendors a little lacking at times but this was probably due to the fact that the vendors were sisters with different contact details. Special thanks to Joshua Baldock who steered the boat steadily at all times - many thanks Josh.

GoogleI sold a property through Leaders. My lead contact was amazing. Not pushy. He understood what I wanted and arranged things around my wishes. Had to take it off the market at one stage. There were no queries with this. He understood. He went beyond the call of duty in the end and he got me a sale.

GoogleI am happy with the services that Ms. Namphet Tisantia has provided to me since she became the manager for my property. She is always responsible, efficient, understanding, and reachable whenever I need her attention and assistance to look after issues arise in the property, and she is capable of sorting things out which is a great relief for me. I feel that she takes her work seriously and diligently which is of very good quality in the workplace.

GoogleRented a property with Leaders and they were awful to say the least. I would seriously consider renting with another agent if Faye or Ben are your property managers. They are unable to follow Leaders own guidelines, reminders had to be sent the team of the 24 hour legal notice for entry and they take the best part of a month to return money owed to us. I would consider finding another agency so at least they can offer an average service, it would be a vast improvement from Faye and the team. Absolutely appalling. Update 23/5/19. The Leaders' team sent me a rental agreement (containing renters' addresses and other personal data) of someone else rental by mistake. This is in breach of GDPR laws. Incompetent at best.

★★★★★ 1/5
GoogleMostly unpleasant when contacted via phone for any issue with the rented property.
Edit: Response to the Response from Leaders.
That was the ending of the case no doubt. My comment and ratting still stands and your reply only focus on one specific case at the end of the tenancy. Not the other 3 times I called for issues related with electric faults and leaks. Also important to refer the errors on the value amount of the deposits (to what I was called later after to moving in to pay the difference) and copies of the contract with missing pages (some emailed some printed, never got a full matching set). I am most happy I delivered the property in the best state possible and the landlord agreed. I have a clear conscience on this matter. It is fair to say Leaders did fix the problems. But only after I had to lose time and my temper. Your service was not good at the time and you are now on damage control arguing with me once again. Maybe other clients had better experiences. I did not and have no problem in saying so. Thank you

Hi Jose, we are sorry to hear that you have been unhappy with your experience. We have looked into this and have been informed that the member of staff you spoke to let you know of the concerns of bringing your check out forward and that they would let the landlord know that was your intention. Following this phone call, your fellow tenant visited the branch to go through photos of the property to send on to the landlord so they would be aware of the state of the property when you left in order to protect your position of being away for a month. They seemed very happy with the advice they received at this point. We did all we could to help. If you have any further comments please contact us at customerservice@leaders.co.uk.

GoogleWe have been renting through Leaders for nearly 5 years, and have just recently moved home. I am writing this review as my husband and I have been really impressed with the service we received whilst going through the checking out process.
We were dealing with Jason who proved to be not only very polite but he was very professional and organised. He domineer was very calm and had no problem with any questions I had, which were quite a few!
Moving can be a very stressful time and Jason made sure some of that stress was taken off our hands.
Thank you for making our lives less hectic and would recommend anyone to work with Leaders when finding a home.

GoogleWe bought our first property in UK. The team of Learders give us the best service and support in every step.
I really recommend Leaders to all the first buyer 'cause their support is fantastic, unique compare the other agency. During all the conveyancing process Ciara took it very personal and worked tirelessly everyday to saved a lot of time for everyone.
She oversaw the whole exchange and was very helpful in every way to make it a smooth transaction. Therefore, I genuinely recommend Ciara, Max and all the team in Foxton Western Road in Brigthon to anyone who wishes to buy a property for the 1st time and make a good deal . In particular Ciara has an excellent customer service skills.

GoogleI recently had a great encounter with the sales team at Leaders in Brighton. I phoned the office to make a couple of enquiries and my call was handled by a chap called Max, who was friendly and helpful. They had great availability and I arrange a couple of back-to-back viewings that week.
On arrival at the first property I was met by a lady named Ciara. She was prompt and greeted me with a smile - always nice. During the two viewings, Ciara was very well informed and quickly and extensively answered any questions I had - something I find is extremely rare among estate agents; I'm normally told "I can find out for you" or "Let me just give the office a quick call" to a lot my queries. The second viewing followed in a similar fashion and I left feeling surprisingly content with the day's outing.
If you're looking for a property in Brighton I would definitely recommend Leaders' sales team - 5* service.
