GoogleI was warned that Leaders can be 'sharky'.
I had a bit of a 'mare with them, after renting for 6 years.
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...

GoogleLast Monday (2nd November) Leaders sent a plumber to fix a leak from the toilet. The bathroom floor was flooded, and water was running through the ceiling downstairs into the kitchen and bedroom. The plumber claimed to have fixed the problem. It was not at all dealt with, but he did leave us with a toilet that no longer flushes.
Once i realised the leak was still running i contacted Leaders again. They called after an hour or so but i mistakenly pushed the "decline" key on my phone instead of "accept". I called straight back and explained, asking them to call again. I called four times that afternoon, then again on Friday, and again on Monday (9th). They have not even bothered to call, let alone do anything to fix the problem, although i have explained it clearly.
I can hardly believe their awful service. I wonder, how do they justify collecting their management fees? They certainly do not appear interested in doing any managing.

GoogleI needed to move during a very difficult time and was given responsive and helpful support with this (around the time of lockdown - Covid!).
Georjana Clarke and Stephen Love helped me from my initial enquiry to the moving-in stage with such a good grace. They went above and beyond what could be expected and I really felt I could rely on them.
Their friendly attitudes, reassurance and timely responses to any questions made what could have been a stressful experience into a pleasure. Thanks to them, I felt happy and confident moving into my new home. Thank you!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleI have been letting my property through Leaders for many years now and as a whole I am satisfied as a landlord. Previously, the property was managed excellently by Sophie and has more recently been managed well by Charlotte. There have been a few inconsistencies along the way, which were ultimately resolved well by the team. Charlotte has always been very professional and helpful with all queries I've sent her way, and goes above and beyond to deliver a great service. Despite the turbulent year we have experienced, I feel that Leaders have overall coped well from a landlord perspective. Where I do feel there could be room for improvement lies within their relationships with suppliers, as I usually find myself given quotes for simple repair works above the local industry average. In terms of overall management of the property, I can confidently recommend the Leaders team. Thank you for your continued help over the years.PositiveProfessionalism

GoogleJust want to say how grateful we are for the easiness of the whole process.
We have been renting with this agency for a year and we couldn't be happier for the treat received, especially when having any problem, with Charlotte and the property management team, with her the comunication was always acurate and very quick. She has been very helpful every single time we had a question or needed information.
She has made the whole process much easier, and as said, we are really happy for the treat received.

GoogleShocking service by Leaders. We were left with no working toilet for 6 months during COVID. No compensation. They took £700 of our deposit for a cleaning fee even though we left the flat clean. Even if it was a dirty who charges £700 for cleaning? Strongly reccomend avoiding Leaders. Horrible expereince. Lot's of stress and no actions to resolve ongoing issues with a faulty flat that should not have been rented out in the first place

GoogleJust avoid them if you can. You'll get a great service until the end of your tenancy. Leaders entered our property without notice on several occasions. We found the shower left on, toilet seat left up, keys broken in windows. They didn't even lock the door when leaving. I was also surprised by a photographer entering the property while I was making a cup of tea! They'd given this complete stranger the key to my property and told them to head straight in! We've been having a game of back and forth, he said, she said since December, they've kept our deposit for over 2 months and will not tell us when they'll be paying it back to us. When I call them, I can't get through, when I email them, it takes them about 7 days to reply if they reply at all.

Here at Leaders we work hard to provide fantastic service to all of our customers regardless of whether it’s at the beginning or end of their dealings with us and it's discouraging to read of the experience that you have had with our team at Hove.
