GoogleAbsolute leaches! They charge extortion for referencing and then charge to release your referencing information to your new agency literally sucking money from where ever they can. £36 to pass on if I paid my rent on time, how long lived there and how much I pay every month. Literally holding my own personal information at ransom. I cant wait to move to a new estate agents. The only thing I will miss is our lovely landlord who sorted everything out for us while leaders scraped off as much profit as they could for doing literally nothing. What a horrendous estate agency.

GoogleWent to a viewing today. Couple viewing the property before me had already been waiting for the estate agent to arrive before I arrived and she still hadn't shown up. She didn't try and get in contact with any of us, despite having our numbers. Tenant in the property was already waiting before the first couple had gotten there, with no indication of arrival from estate agent either. We rang the office and they weren't sure if she was on her way or already in the property. We had all waited half an hour before she eventually turned up with a small apology. Turned out she left the office at the time she was meant to start the viewing with the first couple. We were given the option to view the flat all together or separately, but none of us wanted to wait any longer, so I ended up viewing the flat with the couple, which was fine, other than it felt like I was thinking about moving in with them, which was obviously not the case! Very strange, like a way to push people to go for the property when viewing as a group, because of competition. Highly unprofessional, considering their extortionate rates for all the admin fees, which equate to about a full months rent.

GoogleOne of the worst estate agents I have ever dealt with. I have been waiting over 6 weeks for my deposit to be returned because the landlord wants to decide how much he wants to take out!! How much he wants to take out not what's needed to be taken which is £0 needed up having to repair things myself and replace my front door barrel lock as the old one didn't lock but it wasnt urgent in leaders eyes. Didn't get reimbursed for my expense. The place was left immaculate all freshly decorated yet they are trying to claim money for a finger mark on a door and a stain on the window seal which was there when we moved in yet they didn't pick up in the inventory which is very convenient as now they are trying to claim on my behalf for it. Should rename themselves 'stealers' not leaders absolute joke of a company. Avoid at all costs

GoogleHaving recently relocated to the South East; specifically Brighton, I found myself in a very difficult position by not knowing the area. In the build up to my move, I contacted the Leaders Sales team through a recommendation of a local friend and was directed to a lovely and extremely helpful lady Ciara.
After giving Ciara my requirements, she sent across a portfolio of properties they had on the market and went out of her way to organise a one-on-one meeting for half a day where she took me round each property available. Unlike most 'Comission driven' Estate Agents I've delt with in the past, Ciara's passion truly lies helping people by performing a professional and personable service.
All in all a great, friendly sales process which couldn't have been managed better by Ciara and Max - will definitely be recommending to my new network of friends in Brighton.

GoogleI have been with Leaders for many years and I am always extremely impressed with the standard of service. The properties are let to professional tenants who appreciate a well maintained home to live in. Our standards are high as with Leaders and the attention to detail shown by the staff minimises any problems. The management of our port folio is headed by Brittany who attends to any of our tenants requirements whenever called upon. I thoroughly recommend Leaders to any tenant or potential Landlord looking for a five star agent.
