Manning Stainton Morley reviews

We rented the property for three years, and our experience was excellent from start to finish. Lilian handled all the paperwork efficiently and provided us with the keys within just 10 days, which was amazing. During our time renting, whenever we reported either a minor or major issue, a contractor was usually arranged within 48 hours. The response was always very quick, and the management team was professional and reliable. When we moved out, Zain was extremely professional and patient with us. He completed the final inspection within 48 hours after we left, and we received our deposit back within one week. Overall, it was a truly amazing experience, and we really appreciated the excellent service throughout our tenancy. We are now with a different agency; no communication, no follow up, nothing being fixed for 6 weeks now! That is why I decided to leave a good and honest review for Manning Stainton. There are no words that can truly express how good the experience was! Thanks for Morley/Wakefield branch. Thanks for Zain Christine and Ehab

Excellent service from South Leeds Lettings and Dylan Sagar! We moved into our new home on July 1st, 2026, and we couldn't be happier with the service provided by Manning Stainton, especially Dylan Sagar from the South Leeds Lettings office. The application process was extremely fast and smooth once all the required documents were submitted. After submitting our application to the landlord, everything went very quickly and we received the keys about 10, 11 days later. The agency was absolutely perfect throughout the entire procedure. On top of that, our landlord is really kind and responsive: when we mentioned an issue with the oven shortly after moving in, he had it completely replaced with a brand new one within just one to two weeks! We highly recommend South Leeds Lettings and Dylan Sagar to anyone looking for a rental home. Thank you again for all your help!

We were using an different estate agents previously with very little interest and a lot of frustration however once we moved it over to Manning Stainton the interest was much better. Chloe Redhead and her team were fantastic with everything from viewings to chasing feedback and keeping us updated on everything! Would 100% recommend!

Selling a house is incredibly stressful but with the support of Manning Stainton, in particular from Chloe Jagger, things have gone so much smoother than we’d have ever thought it could. Chloe is incredibly friendly, knowledgable and helpful and kept us informed every step of the way. We would 100% recommend Manning Stainton Morley and Chloe J. Thank you for all your support and advice along the way!

I cannot fault the service received by Manning Stainton during the process of my house sale, in particular I would like to thank Gemma and Rochelle as they kept me up to date at all times and were always on hand to assist with any questions or queries I had. Gemma was super personable and showed such compassion through the tough times and seemed to share my excitement during the good times, it felt really nice to have such competent people looking after my transaction and I felt very safe in their capable hands :). Thank you so much and I will certainly be using you again in future! xx

By far the best estate agents I've dealt with in all of my renting experiences. Melissa was my property manager throughout my tenancy and she was amazing. She was always happy to answer any queries I had and always responded promptly to maintenance issues, which were always dealt with very quickly. There was an instance with an unreliable contractor but Melissa arranged for someone else to do the job instead and everything was resolved very quickly from there. I would highly recommend renting a flat through Manning. Even after giving notice to end my tenancy, Melissa sent me a check-out form with a moving checklist that was incredibly useful, making my moving experience that much easier. I was pleasantly surprised by that. I had such a positive experience and wouldn't hesitate to use Manning Stainton again if I moved back to Leeds. 😊

We recently sold our property through Mannings, also purchasing our new property through them as well at the same time, and have been very pleased with the level of service provided from start to finish. I’ve always been kept updated regularly and the team couldn’t have done more to make sure the sale and purchase both completed as soon as possible, doing it all in a friendly and proactive way and being quick to reply and complete any actions they needed to do. The last few weeks were particularly stressful due to some complications which arise further up the chain at the last minute so would like to say a big thank you to everyone for their help, in particular James and Owen who have been fantastic and a real credit to the company, chasing up solicitors and helping to coordinate things up and down the chain. I would definitely use Mannings again in the future if we move house and would recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property (or to buy a property listed with them).

Simply conveyancing have been exemplary in their service in our sale and purchase. Ayushi Mathur is majorly on the ball with everything and was chasing the other parties in order to progress as soon as possible. Everything was explained to us very clearly and she responded to any questions and issues very promptly. When she was unavailable she made sure that other solicitors were up to date and able to progress any issues. We would not hesitate to use Simply Conveyancing again.

We purchased our new property via Manning Stainton. Their communication with clients is second to none. Thanks go to James Sibthorpe at their Morley Office who went above and beyond to help ease a legal snag at the very beginning of the transaction. As the purchase progressed Megan Hirst Move Manager was absolutely fantastic in keeping us updated on a virtually daily basis. Nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend this company for buying and selling.

Honestly, if you’ve ever been through a property sale before and come out the other side feeling stressed, ignored, and none the wiser about what was going on, you’ll understand just how refreshing Kate has been. We’ve dealt with conveyancers before, and hand on heart, the experience was nothing like this. Kate kept us updated throughout, explained things clearly, and we never once had to chase her to find out what was happening. She just got on with it and kept us in the loop every step of the way. What really stands out is that she genuinely seems to care. It didn’t feel like we were just another file on the desk, she was thorough, on top of everything, and whenever we had a question (no matter how small), she had an answer. The whole process felt so much calmer and more manageable because of her. We can’t recommend Kate highly enough. If you’re selling and want someone who actually makes the process better rather than more stressful, look no further. We’d go straight back to her without a second thought.

We can’t thank Owen at Manning Stainton Morley enough for his support during the purchase of our home. From start to finish, he has been incredibly attentive, responsive, and professional. His communication has been excellent, always keeping us informed and reassured throughout the process. Buying a house can be stressful, but Owen made it a much smoother experience with his efficiency and commitment. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.

I have recently bought a home sold through Manning Stainton Morley and can not speak highly enough of them. I dealt mainly with James who was efficient and professional, always keeping me up to date with progress and supporting me in dealing with my solicitor. Owen was also very helpful in the final week before completion especially as there were some complications in the upper chain. Thank you both for a great service.

I recently bought a house sold through Manning Stainton Morley, James was my main point of contact and can’t thank him enough for his help and support through the process. James kept me up to date with everything that was happening and helped chase things when needed. Also spoke to Owen a couple of times who was really helpful. All in all a great experience. Thank you!

We have used Simply Conveyancing Property Lawyers Ltd when selling our house. We've left very happy and impressed with the service we've received. There was a person allocated to our case who was always on the ball. We could look our progress online, but if we had some questions they always were within email or phone call away. Thank you for all your help and we wish you all the success in the future.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience with Simply Conveyancing was so incredibly stressful and poor that I feel compelled to warn others. They acted as the solicitors for our buyers, and they managed to turn what should have …

Poor experience as a tenant Our experience with Manning Stainton's property management over the 3 years we rented through them was disappointing. We understand that their role is to represent the landlord's interests, but we often felt this came at the expense of treating tenants fairly and reasonably. The main issues we experienced were: - At the end of our initial 1 year tenancy, we were asked to accept a rent increase of £170 per month (21%!) to renew our agreement. Although we negotiated this down to a 12.5% increase, it was still above the local market rate. This left us feeling that the initial rent was set to attract tenants before being increased significantly after the first year. - It took more than 6 months for a broken and dangerous back gate to be replaced and removed, despite us reporting it numerous times. - At the end of our tenancy, £395 was deducted from our deposit, which was a surprise as we had consistently received positive feedback during property inspections. £300 of this was for gardening, which involved mowing a small front lawn, trimming a few shrubs and weeding a paved back garden. We felt this charge was excessive for the amount of work involved, but they weren't willing to accept our counter-offer. Based on our experience, we would not recommend renting through Manning Stainton as we felt that charges and costs were prioritised over treating tenants fairly.

My property sold to the first person who viewed it, and I received the full asking price, so I'm extremely happy with the service. The sale went through without a hitch. Manning Stainton has been brilliant all the way through. Megan kept me updated every week with a phone call, but if she couldn't reach me, she left a voicemail or email. Thank you so much.

I had a valuation on my property recently by Al Delgado and i was thoroughly impressed with his service! He went through a lot of time and effort to ensure my valuation was as accurate as possible and clearly explained the steps he took to get to his valuation. Al communicated clearly with me and was very helpful and professional when conducting my valuation and was always happy to answer and questions I had. I would definitely recommend!

Simply Conveyancing does not make anything simple. I would strongly advise others to think twice before using them. They are acting on behalf of our sellers and as a buyer they have to be chased continuously for documentation that should have been sent weeks ago. Our experience has been extremely frustrating with poor communication and total lack of urgency. They hold onto documents that are dated a month ago then send them through to our solicitors, after being chased numerous times. Emails and calls take ages to be answered leaving the Estate Agents, our solicitor and even myself calling them. The chain is only waiting for them, and the lack of responsiveness is wholly unprofessional and does not put the customer first. At no point have we felt informed or reassured by them. Overall, there level of service is appalling. I am aware from reading other reviews that the feedback will be that they are unable to respond to this comment due to potential conflict of interest, however I am compelled to write this review of our awful experience thus far.

He was always responsive to our enquiry’s and took the time to explain things to us. Al gave us a great experience he’s a great estate agent for anyone looking to buy or sell a house. Thank you so much again Al

Had put in for a few rental properties with Manning Stainton where we had 0 contact from them for 6 weeks. Where both properties had been reduced. After emailing them a few times we received a reply stating they was short staffed. Within 20 minutes we had been booked for viewings. One of which was a property we was very interested in and hopefully looking to take the property however due to Manning Stainton not contacting us for several weeks before the property had since been taken. Very little communication from them
