When I was looking for a flat, I was spoken to by a very helpful and professional staff member called Amelia. She immediately put me at ease and found out what my requirements are. During the viewing she was extremely competent and answered all my questions thoroughly, and although I didn't go ahead with the let, she didn't put me under pressure and was superb throughout - a real credit to the business.PositiveProfessionalism

Emily the estate agent was wonderful answering any questions I had and getting the answers back to me quickly and efficiently. When I got put down for a no deposit option, when I had stated I would like to do a deposit, I phoned and Aaron delt with the problem straight away. Over all really good people service and documentation skills, fast and efficient, not as good a job by their administration team but they then made up for it as a team.

Hi Rosie, we are so happy to read such a great review about the Leaders team at Ocean Village, Southampton! We are delighted to read how helpful Emily and Aaron were throughout your dealings with them. We are saddened to hear that you faced issues with the administration team; the process of paperwork being dealt with externally from the branch is still relatively new meaning there are still kinks to be worked out and we appreciate that this may have contributed to us not receiving a 5* review however we are pleased that the team have still been able to provide you with a mainly positive experience. Kind Regards, Leaders

Very good customer service from Abigail in property management. Frequent and effective communication, she was able to answer all the questions I had as well as chasing contractors for work to be completed. Very thorough in ensuring the customer feels their concerns are being heard. Very happy with the service I received from Abigail.

The one (necessary) star goes to Gareth, who is unfortunately the only person in this company showing any professional attitude. It is a pity he is only responsible for finding a property, as the maintenance is whole other story: I had to move into a dirty apartment, with a disgusting mattress, no hot water and no induction, not even to the trash bins. The mattress was replaced after a week, leaving me without a bed for the evening, as it took a while for the new mattress to unfold (it was left in a roll). A cleaning was arranged first after endless discussions and inspections, as well as accusations of "bizarre" statements from my side, which I had to prove with endless photos (over 250 pictures taken for 6 months). The cleaning was performed very unsatisfactory and I was offered a reimbursement of the check-out fees, which never took place, more so they are trying to bring through a deposit-deduction now, exactly for the cleaning! I rented the second most expensive property I was offered, but was left without hot water (it took 2:20 min. for it to arrive) for the whole 6 months, as well as no heating when it was really cold, for over 3 weeks. Not that you get the impression, that the heating was solved after 3 weeks - I was simply asked via email, if it is resolved now...My e-mails were ignored or words put in my mouth by the 6th consecutive agent (from the 3rd branch), who was dealing with my case. I had to inform them of the whole previous correspondence with their colleagues and yet, magically I was never understood correctly... I am saving here most of the details, but the ongoing troubles, ignorance, and absolutely impudent behaviour from Leader's side, has costed me a lot of nerves and monies for just 6 months.It is a shame that such highly unprofessional individuals can call themselves Property Managers! I should have taken direct contact not only with lawyers but also with the landlord, as I am sure the latter has no idea which condition their property is actually in.

Lizzy and Whitney were excellent throughout the buying process and offered lots of help and support throughout a tricky sale, as well as helping gain access to the property throughout.

After an initial rocky start and a few issues over the condition of the property and some electrical items not working, I have found the subsequent experience to be of a high standard. I enjoy and appreciate the feedback after your inspections, they have both been great so far. It also instills faith with your team that I am a good tenant and will continue to care for and look after the property in a professional manner. All in all I feel that you have refined your processes to make the tenant experience as good as you can. Good tenants = a good relationship, and great communication from both sides makes the whole renting a great experience with you thank you.

Emily Westmore was extremely professional and helpful in finding me an apartment at Southampton. She is extremely enthusiastic and replies promptly to all your queries. She was my contact person for the entire process till the signing of the contract and i felt absolutely comfortable throughout. Would highly recommend Leaders to anyone looking to rent in Southampton.

Selling my property has been challenging due to a range of external factors beyond anyones control. However, Leaders stuck with the challenge and achieved a good sale in very difficult circumstances. Jules and Kieran in the Southampton office were dogged, patience and kind, and, got the job done! Thank you.

Richard, Hannah and Whitney did a fantastic job in selling our flat. Throughout the process they were professional, friendly and a pleasure to deal with. They arranged a lot of viewings which ultimately led to us getting a buyer who offered the full asking price. I would highly recommend the team at Leaders. They will undoubtedly be our first choice if we need an Estate Agent at any point in the future.

An excellent personal service. Richard and the team were up-to-date and well informed throughout the sale. They communicated well with all parties and were able to answer any query that came up quickly and efficiently. Professional, friendly and helpful, Richard, Witney and Hannah worked hard to make the process as smooth as they possibly could. Huge thanks.

We were searching for a property in the Southampton area for around four months, and found the process with other estate agents frustrating, as we were up against a lot of competition, but dealing with Leaders made the process much easier, without bidding wars and open days, and we finally found the house for us with their help! They have been attentive, and personable to deal with throughout the whole process. We highly recommend them.

They proudly have the worst maintenance team in the business. My boiler was broken in September 2023 It’s been 8 months of constant back-and-forth with them and they provide no solution whatsoever

Holly, and all the Leaders team, listened to my concerns, were flexible when the situation changed and, most importantly, found a nice family to live in my property. They were also good at notifying the previous tenants for viewings but made sure we got lots of people round to look just the same. Highly rated professionals.

Holly has been amazing through my lettings process. I couldn't have asked for a better person to deal with during this normally stressful process, but Holly has made me feel so relaxed & has been nothing but positive which has helped! So happy to be renting through Holly and with Leaders.

Richard and Hannah were extremely helpful from start to end in getting the sale through. Couple of questions unanswered during the first visit but they followed up promptly. No request was too much for them especially Richard. All staff are very polite and kept great continuity throughout the process. Go Leaders! :)

Very poor communication from leaders Southampton since we first started with leaders in 2014. I often have to email 2 or 3 times or phone them. I also don’t like it that we don’t have one email address and point of contact for all matters relating to our property management/letting. I am often told the delay in responding to me is because someone is on leave etc...

Sandra · 28 August 2019

Agent replied · 26 August 2024

Hi Sandra, we’re really sorry to read that you are disappointed with the service you have received from us throughout your time as a Landlord. Here at Leaders we do understand the importance of providing a high level of service to our customers throughout their experience with us and believe that when any issues arise that through the use of effective communication we are able to swiftly address these and alleviate any concerns. Our team always attempt to be contactable for our customers over the phone and via email, we expect that any calls which are missed with messages left be returned at the earliest opportunity but are saddened to hear that this has not been the case and can understand why you would be dissatisfied due to having to chase the team a number of times for responses. Here at Leaders our lettings business is comprised up of a number of different departments and teams; examples of this would be the branch for marketing, property management for repairs throughout the tenancy and client accounts for any queries around accounts. We recognise that some Landlords may find it more beneficial to have one point of contact for all matters relating to the management of their property although as a business do not believe that this is always feasible. Your designated property manager will generally be the main point of contact throughout your experience with us and will of course attempt to offer assistance wherever possible however as I am sure you can appreciate they may not always be the best placed person to answer queries surrounding things such as re-marketing the property or account discrepancies due to not possessing the specialist knowledge to do so and we find that by having a number of different departments who possess such knowledge and expertise that it allows us the opportunity to direct you to someone within our teams who can assist. We hope this helps provide some clarity to our structure. We recognise the importance of all reviews and appreciate you giving us the chance to improve moving forward by providing us with this feedback, we would like to offer our apologies again that you feel the service you have received has not been up to the high standards expected of Leaders but hope moving forward we are able to deliver a level of service you are happier with. Should you wish to discuss this then please contact us on 01344758596. Kind Regards, Leaders
