GoogleThe team at Leader's Southampton are professional, efficient and quick to respond. Any issues were responded to within a few hours and things get sorted within a few days. My concerns throughout my tenancy were dealt with promptly and in a friendly way by Adriana and Ben, and Kai was super efficient and friendly on checking out and discussing deposit refunds. Highly recommend them as an estate agent.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleBen is one big joke, over speaking the clients, will not let you speak, using information for marketing purposes, I will now seek legal advice, Paid deposit of a month and a half, so in total 1045Β£ on 25th of may, until today the flat was not ready, when asked not to stress me anymore and stop sending emails and letters, he said we signed a contract and he will abuse it !!! Now I know why he has lost one of his front teeth already!

Hi Lukasz, we regret to read that you've been disappointed with the service that you've received from us and our team in Southampton. We strive to deliver an exemplary level of service and regret that you haven't received this.
I've had the opportunity to speak with the team in Southampton about this and understand that your dealings with us were as a translator for a prospective tenant, it can be noted that with this property the Landlord arranged the details of the tenancy directly with the prospective tenant, we at no point held any funds as the Landlord held these but we were instructed to conduct referencing, the right to rent and draw up the Tenancy Agreement.
As per your request we have removed your details and you will no longer be contacted moving forward. Weβd like to offer our apologies for any disappointment caused and that you feel the service received from Ben and the team has not been up to the high standards expected of Leaders. Should you wish to discuss this further then please reach out to us on 01344758596.
Kind Regards,
Leaders

GoogleI wonder if the property ombudsman knows that leaders are forcing people to take contents insurance through their provider? It is a requirement if you want to take a rental property through them. If you don't take it then you can't proceed with the property. This sort of practice isn't allowed. You cant force someone to take contents insurance. You have been reported to the property ombudsman Leaders. Poor practice.
Update: why don't you discuss your illegal practice of forcing people renting to purchase contents insurance through your partner Bode so you receive commission? Reported

GoogleThe guys did a great job of selling my property, unfortunately the sale fell through a couple of times due to no fault of thereβs (or mine) but as soon as it did fresh bookings were booked and it was soon sold again.

Emails straight away so this was a good way to keep up to date with viewings. Thank you Rachael, Jools and Mark.

GoogleWe are tenants using the letting agency Leaders already three+ years, since July 2013. We are US expats, and Leader's Eastleigh office helped us find our first residence in their area, although we didn't yet have a credit history in the UK. Throughout the whole period of our first letting contract that ended in December 2015, we received an impeccable service. Their final inventory was thorough and fair, and they returned our deposit on time.
Because of this excellent experience, when we returned to the UK six months later, we didn't think of using another letting agency, and called Leader's. So far, everything goes to perfection. I want to specifically point out how well their inventory was executed, and that they are responding on the spot to every email or phone call with questions or demands we may have.
We whole heartedly recommend Leader's to any person who needs to let living space in Southampton and the vicinity.

GoogleIf you like lazy landlords who don't fix things for 2 years and act surprised when things get surprised when things deteriorate and then come for money, Incompetent workers who can't be bothered to do their jobs and misreport things and are an all-round greedy company then Leaders are right for you.
Absolute god awful company, no wonder why last 4 out of 5 reviews on trust pilot are all 1 star and all speak honestly about the company and all met with the same copy and paste responses. Wouldn't ever go with them again and would never recommend them to anyone and will actively deter people from them and suggest more support companies based on personal experience or reviews going forward. Avoid at all costs and make sure you go with someone who's more reputable. Their workers probably don't care about the 1 star review, they don't care when you report issues as they never respond to them within adequate time frames or might not even respond at all and when you call all you get is "they're not in the office at the moment", "they're not in today" and "we will pass that on to them and make sure they contact you within this certain time frame", never heard so many untruths be told.
In conclusion , I'm sure to never go with them and I'd recommend you look elsewhere as they're not worth the hassle even some of our neighbours in the time we were there that have come and gone would concur to that statement.

He helped us along the way and was available on the phone or via email with immediate or swift responses. He is a genuinely lovely young man with a genuine lovely personality.
