GoogleI had a really great experience with Leaders,
Alex and Ross are very professional. They replying to emails very quickly, they were always happy to help with all my enquires I've had. I was looking for a property to rent with my cat and fortunately I choose Leaders. They did everything to find me a good flat where I can live with my furry friend.
Thank you for all your help!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleReally disappointed. The guy I spoke to on the phone was rude, abrupt and completely unhelpful. Would not recommend. Have spoken to other estate agents in the area and they were much more pleasant and helpful. Would not use after the poor service.

GoogleI recently rented a property through Leaders in St Albans and dealt mainly with Louise who from the outset was very helpful and informative, the other members of the team that I have dealt with in St Albans have all been equally helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending this office to both landlords and tenants alike.

GoogleReally really disappointed in leaders and will recommend anyone to AVOID AVOID AVOID. I rented a flat for 18 months and left it pretty identicle to how we found it. As estate agents they were looking after the property on behalf of LL.The check out report was so pinicky and stated stuff like recycling had been left in the recycling bin and the lights have a bit of dust and there is an odd cobb webb that we missed when cleaning really petty basic stuff, nothing major. We cleaned and bleached the kitchen, oven, bathroom, skirting boards etc etc, but wasn't good enough. They claim they had to get a cleaning company in for a basic sparkle clean and when there the cleaning company stated it needed more than that (obviously, of course they did ) I was told that they were in there all weekend cleaning (really for a small 2 bed flat) and now LL and leaders are trying to take 245 for the privilege off of our deposit. This is the 4th properly I have rented and never experienced this stress with regards to getting my deposit back as I always get it back straight away cos I'm a respectful tenant and leave the property how I find. Sorry rant over, but yeah again AVOID AVOID AVOID.

GoogleHi, we had a very bad experience renting a property with leaders, at first everything was okay, But after when needed them we felt so deasapointed as they never look after us as tenant, The property we rented was dirty and old and our fault we did not take photos of the flat when moved into it. and after two years we just move out of the flat and the landlords won't give our deposit back as he is claiming the property wasnt cleaned properly and has been dammaged, honestly Thats so frusted. We have emailed leaders many many times regarding this metter but we havent got any answer back. also while we were in the flat we had so many proplems such as leakings, heating, stay more than 40 days without coocker as the landlord was avoiding us and etc... when we start looking for another property the landlord wont give us references and always has been so difficult when we needed anything from them. Really really desapointed with leaders and landlord.
I Do not recommend this state agency at all.

Hi Denis, thank you for your review, we’re saddened to hear of the negative experience you have had with the Leaders team in St Albans. As a business we consistently strive for exceptional service so are disappointed to read that you do not feel you received this from us on this occasion. We’re sorry to read of the issues you have faced during your Tenancy in relation to maintenance and with your Landlord in regards to references as well as the deposit. I feel it important to highlight that Leaders were instructed by the Landlord on an ‘Introduction Only’ level of service meaning that our involvement ended when you moved into the property, any maintenance issues would have needed to be reported to and dealt with directly by the Landlord. As part of this process it was also the responsibility of Landlord to provide you with an outgoing tenant reference and to negotiate the deposit release with you, when taking this into account we cannot be held accountable for the issues you have faced with your Landlord. I can see that today on the 4th of December that Louise has written to your co-tenant in regards to queries around the deposit explaining that your Landlord registered the Tenancy deposit directly with My Deposits at the start of the Tenancy and so you would need to contact your Landlord or My Deposits in regards to the deposit return. Information surrounding the deposit release process with My Deposits can be found here: https://www.mydeposits.co.uk/tenants/get-your-deposit-back/ After taking into account my points above I do not believe we have acted incorrectly as we did not manage the property throughout the Tenancy however we would like to offer our sincere apologies that you felt the service you received fell below the high standards we expect of Leaders. We appreciate you taking the time to bring this matter to our attention, we have taken on board all of the comments you have made and can assure you that all feedback is taken most seriously. If you would like to discuss this further then please contact us at customerservice@leaders.co.uk. Kind Regards, Leaders

GoogleI used Leaders to let and manage my property whilst out of the country for 2 years. They found fantastic Tenants, helped me get the house 'Tenant ready' and the property management team were great with any issues that cropped up. Their check in and out reports were great too, really meant my house was looked after and ready for me to move back in to on my return. Will definitely be using them again and will recommend them to my Landlord friends.

GoogleWe were tenants who used Leaders in St Albans to rent a property. We have had a negative experience of them and have found them unhelpful and frustrating. a few examples are as below:
- They told us we couldn't move in for another week after the advertised move in date (resulting in my housemate and I being homeless for a week!) because the flat was being cleaned- it had had some internal building work done so was filthy, therefore we were prepared to wait the week. However when we came to move in, no one from the agency had bothered to check the flat and low and behold nothing had been cleaned and we had to move in to an industrially dusty flat. We also then spent a week cleaning it ourselves and had no money off of our rent!
-We paid them a huge amount of money to essentially change our names over and give us our keys. The agency forgot to register us as new tenants with our utility bill companies (a service they had said they offer as part of this fee) we therefore had to set everything up ourselves.
-The staff we have dealt with have not been very helpful when we've called them, other than a very nice lady who helped us contact our landlord when our heating broke when it was snowing. She was filling in for a guy who said he could help us urgently but then took 2 hours for his lunch break!
We definitely would not recommend leaders and would not use them again.
