GoogleLeaders seem incredibly disorganised and ineffective, they have too many different groups of people who don’t communicate with one another and they don’t communicate with the tenant well either.
They have no knowledge of the content of their tenancy agreement, seem intent on marketing above providing any service and lie to their tenants.
Furthermore they are slow so things get done last minute or late and never seem concerned or apologetic for any problems.
They ignore questions for the most part, possibly to avoid having to say they don’t know the answer or lie.
I wouldn’t ever want to rent from them again nor would I let a property through them as I wouldn’t want another tenant to have this experience either.

GoogleLeaders have been helping us manage a large portfolio for a number of years and our current property manager (Sophie) offers invaluable support to a high standard, organising repairs and responding to queries within good time. Always very thorough, efficient and pleasant, which no doubt extends to communication with the tenants themselves. The Lettings team (Nick, Laura and Selica) continue to be a great help by keeping the properties let and providing honest, reliable advice for renewal arrangements. All in all, a very happy multi-landlord client!

GoogleLuke of Leaders' Western Road office was a pleasure to deal with and amoung the best agents I have come across during my experience over the years . He was well informed on on the wider context and the finer details of my particular property transaction; 100% honest and 100% pro-active in gathering additional information to ensure the process was quick , smooth and succesful . Also happened to be very well informed about the local property market in Hove and polite and professional in the way he handled the process . I wouldn't hesitate to pick up the phone to Luke for selling a property , buying or for seeking general market advice and look forward to working with Luke and Leaders in the future . Thanks again , Miles .

GoogleLeaders has been the letting agents for our first flat and they have been amazing. Sophie, Hollie and Nick always replied immediately and took all of our concerns & questions seriously. Maintenance and issues were sorted quickly and smoothly and we always felt really taken care of! Flat inspections were every 6 months and unobtrusive. We didn’t worry about hidden or surprise costs (as students years prior this was always an anxiety) and it never felt like Leaders were trying to trick anyone. They were so kind and professional on the end of tenancy procedure and communicated whilst getting our inventory and deposit sorted quickly. Thanks leaders for everything !! A&L

GoogleWe recently rented a flat from Leaders and nowadays we are very happy.
Alex Powrie was our agent an he was really helpful and professional with us all the time, when we do the viewing of the flat, and during all the paperwork. Really friendly and overall good experience at Leaders. I would recommend this agent to anyone looking to rent.
Alex Powrie made the procedure as soon as possible. He is simply amazing.

GoogleWe were in contact with Laura for this central flat, and they had clearly forgotten about the appointment with us. We actually walked to the office to remind them about it.
Not a great start.
The viewing itself felt rushed. But we liked it nonetheless, so by the next day we made an offer. Now.. It took nearly a week for someone to get back to us with an update, missing multiple deadlines (that were given to us by them, I might add) left us chasing with calls and/or emails. Told us to hold off until Friday, one more day, Tuesday and so on.
Once I had enough, it took me 1 minute to go on Google and find out that the letting was already agreed.
If this is not bad customer service, I honestly don't know what is.
For future reference, before updating the website, maybe give an update to potential clients that have been waiting for an answer for days on end.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleI was warned that Leaders can be 'sharky'.
I had a bit of a 'mare with them.
They failed to serve me notice to move out (I figure they delivered to the next door building, as my building does not have a flat 6 which they referred to)
When I was disputing the cleaning fee they added £60 charge for a renewal fee 4 years prior. I'm pretty sure I paid it and that they would have chased me at the time, not 4 years later...

GoogleI have had a very poor experience with Leaders, Western Road. They advertised a property, I responded straight away by email and phone (left multiple messages), received no response for 1.5 weeks. Then a viewing was arranged (which took a LOT of effort to chase them), only to be cancelled as I was standing outside the property having driven 1hr 20min to be there and rearranging work for the entire day (and I even emailed them the day before to check it was going ahead, which I had no response to). I have sent my feedback to Leaders directly as well, in an effort to improve their very disappointing customer service.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
