Linley & Simpson Wakefield reviews

14-Sep-2023: Would like to highlight the outstanding support from Gabrielle Sears with the renting process. I am very pleased with the amount of information I have received up until this point, as well as very knowledgeable and swift responses from Gabrielle to all of my questions, especially in regard to the Tenancy Agreement and financial aspects. I am very happy to be working with Linley & Simpson towards securing my new Tenancy, and am glad Gabrielle is there to oversee my case! Highly recommend 😊 3 months ago: Very excited to have begun my first ever apartment hunt; and glad I managed to secure a viewing a couple of weeks ago with L&S. Richard from the Wakefield branch was very welcoming, approachable and easy to talk to; I tend to feel slightly awkward asking the important key questions yet the environment was very comforting, so it was easy to express any doubts/concerns and pose questions to Richard. Looking forward for more viewings until I find my perfect place 😊

I can’t speak highly enough of Fiona at Linley & Simpson who has helped us deal with high volume of rental properties. She is professional, organised, efficient and a pleasure to work with. When we were sourcing 7 BTL properties she was the only agent who very quickly sent us market assessments and comparables on any properties we were looking at even if they weren’t for sale through her agency. This really helped us make good decisions at the time of purchase. Recently we had 3 properties that all needed work to get them ready to rent , gas certificates, electrical certificates, painting, carpets, carpentry….Fiona organised all of this work on all 3 properties simultaneously without any fuss and helped us to turn them around very quickly and helped us make them very nice homes to rent. Fiona and her team are exactly what any landlord would wish for if they are looking for a proactive, professional agency to work with them. Many thanks Fiona, much appreciated …..Jim and Vicky…….update 8/8/23 I’d also like to mention Wendy in the lettings team who has also been great at finding good tenants , organising viewings, check-ins, documentation and was also proactive and great at communicating. A good service all round.

Have recently completed a move into a rented property with Linley & Simpson. Holly was very helpful througout the entire process! Also Becky, Fiona and Emma were supportive and helpful everytime I contacted the office! Really appreciate all the assistance throughout this big move, and im confident the support continues during my tenancy! Additional Info: I ended my tenancy here, as I was moving into a new purchased property. The process was really smooth, and I appreciate the communication from Jonathon and Wendy who made things very clear and easy to understand, and helped with any queries and questions to ensure the departure was as simple as can be. I left my Linley & Simpson tenancy very happy with the service I'd received throughout my stay, the property was fantastic, and my tenure was stress free!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I have been thinking of letting my property for a year or so. Looked and spoke with a few letting agency's. I found a company called linley and Simpson in wakefield. Fiona the lovely lady that I was introduced to for letting my property was very knowledgeable and helpful. I have never let out a property before. Fiona took me through all the steps to guide me in the right direction. Fiona is a very professional lady who I would highly recommend. All the staff at lindley and simpson are very polite and helpful. I would recommend.

I’ve recently rented through Linley & Simpson and their service has been great! Fiona was very helpful in setting up my viewing, giving me loads of local and house information and also supporting with the key and house handover. Emilia was brilliant managing all my many queries and walking me through the application process. All the automated and online support was really easy to use. I’m all moved in ans love the house!

My partner and I have recently moved into our new property with Linley & Simpson. Both of us were new to renting, however, Ebony made the process as easy as possible. She was always at the end of the phone, replied to my numerous emails quickly & has continued to be a great help after we have moved in. The process was incredibly well managed and above all, easy. A special shout out to Gabby & Wendy who answer the phone at Wakefield, they are incredibly helpful!

A friend recommended Lindley and Simpson (Wakefield branch)to me to use as my letting agent. It was the first time I was going to let my house out and I was nervous... Fiona talked me through the whole process listened to what I was looking for in a tenant and then worked her magic. She was very efficient at every stage. I had a number of tenants that she had selected to fit my criteria all within a week of contacting her. Holly also kept me updated through regular emails. I am very impressed with this estate agents and would highly recommend.PositiveProfessionalism

We have just moved into our new flat which Wendy helped us find when we spoke about the kind of property I'd be looking for. Throughout the process, Wendy has been super helpful at every possible stage, answering my millions of questions and keeping me appraised of where we were along the journey to move-in. I could not recommend the service enough to prospective customers. When you call up, either Gabby or Wendy will answer your call - both of whom are lovely to speak to and really helpful.

Amazing service from the whole team!! Fiona especially as she has dealt with all our properties. A few times she has even responded during annual leave! Currently, she is managing around 5 properties for us. None of them had tenants and some needed work done. I was very impressed with their knowledge and execution in finding a tenant quickly (and a great one) Fiona and the team are fantastic. I would highly recommend it. Also, We use their Leeds branch for all our Leeds properties

I have used Linley and Simpson letting service and have dealt with Fiona and Becky who I have met as well as communicated with on a regular basis. Its fair to say there was a number of problems, mainly with the tenants I might add! Despite the problems I was very re assured and extremely happy with how Fiona and Becky went the extra mile to resolve them. Well done and thank you to both. I would reccomend these guys! TonyB

I just want to put it out there that my experience with Linley & Simpson has been second to none particularly Fiona Scott. Fiona has been really helpful answering all our queries and nothing is too much for her. She is definitely an asset to the company. I can strongly recommend her without any reservation to anyone looking for help in renting their property.

Just a joke of an agency. Avoid renting from them To fix leaking roof, damp and mold, broken windows we had to involve council as the agency hasn’t replied a single email about it and laughed in my face when I came to their office. Oh, I was also being charged for the curtain poles which are “present on this picture” according to agency’s report. There were loads of things “missing” or “broken” from their report which conveniently disappeared from our moving in report

We haven’t used Linley and Simpson in Wakefield previously, however they have provided extremely professional and friendly letting advice for my Fathers rental property recently, receiving five viewings and five offers in one day! I would highly recommend this office and in particular Fiona Scott, Manager and Charlotte Harrison, Lettings Consultant who have been absolutely brilliant, thank you!

I was really happy with how fast and clear the communication was between myself, the agency and more importantly the agent Wendy. She was really helpful and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything sorted as I was really worried that I had not gave enough information to yourselves. She helped put me at ease and arranged everything for our new home, so a big thank you to Wendy.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Big thank you to Ebony and the girls at the Wakefield branch. I had to move at the end of last year, in a short period of time from Wales due to a transfer, and it was thanks to the Wakefield branch and especially Ebony who helped me through the process, that I managed to secure the flat I’m now residing in. Always helpful. Thank you all.

I was renting an apartment in the Normanton Huntsman house. Everything was fine. For a year Repairs almost on time. I was only annoyed that the maintenance had a key to the apartment. The ladies working there are very nice and polite but unfortunately helpless because: The problems started when some pathological person (apartment 23) moved to the second floor. It was unbearable and the agency did nothing. Constant screams, jumping on the floor, fights in this apartment, the police once a month, music until dawn. I stayed with this building for two months plus the notice period. But the worst part was that it flooded my apartment twice in one month. And the agency was just apologizing. I myself had to bear the costs (electricity and cleaning products) of drying the flat. If not for this sub-human, I would still live there. But unfortunately, in the most difficult period, the agency let me down and therefore gives only two stars. And on the apartment check report before moving in. They take photos from a distance and at right angles so that no damage and defects of the apartment are visible. And in the apartment inspection report, after they move out, they take close-up photos. Pictures to the slightest problem. The biggest problem is your agency checked the tenant. It was your agency that rented him. The police said it wasn't their business and the council referred them back to the agency. They wrote that you can cancel the contract with him. But the only thing I and others have heard from you is sorry, there is nothing we can do. the council couldn't even impose a financial penalty on him, they didn't give a reason. But all tenants assumed because he was not working. How can someone rent an apartment with a teardrop under his eye? Please write down the meaning of this tattoo. What else is confirmed by his behavior. The worst was the weekends. But, fortunately, I was not in the apartment over the weekend. But 5 days a week without sleeping pills it was impossible to fall asleep.

One of the best viewings we have been to, Richard was super lovely, welcoming and very informative. Nothing was too much trouble and we got everything we wanted out of this viewing. I have spoken to a couple of lovely ladies over the phone too and they have been fantastic and extremely friendly. The best company we have used by far.

I had been renting my property out for almost two years with a nationwide lettings and property management company, but it had not gone well, they were all the bad things you hear about as a landlord. I approached the Wakefield office of Linley and Simpson at a time when my tenants had walked out, my prevoius agents were being unhelpful at best and my property needed at best some TLC. I was put in touch with the very helpful Fiona who over the past three months has been an absolute godsend! I live and work abroad and so needed more hands on help than usual. Upon inspection by Fiona, backed up with photographic and video evidence, my property had suffered from neglect by the previous tenants and agents and needed a substantial refurbishment. Fiona sourced the contractors, passed on to me the quotes for my independant verfication and once we decided on a plan, pressed ahead in managing and supervisong the project. In the space of just over a month my property has been completely refurbished and I already have a tenant from Linley & Simpson's first viewing! Fantastic! Linley & Simpson and Fiona could not have been more helpful and accommodating, answering emails and phone calls, following up on requests for assistance or information and all the while I am not only working on the other side of the world, but while my wife and I have been having a baby! They really have been unbeleivably supportive on this whole project and I unreservedly recommend them. Thank you so much Fiona and all the team!

The service I have received from Linley and Simpson has been exceptional. Holly at the Wakefield branch answered every question I had about my move and was friendly, efficient and kind in making sure I had everything I needed for the move to go smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble which meant a lot to me . I've never had such a painless transition to a new house and Holly and the team at Linley and Simpson did that for me. I really can't thank them enough!

I have been dealing with Linley & Simpson on a regular basis over the past few months. The help and professional support they have provided me with the rental of a property has been immensely helpful. Fiona Scott has been exceptional with her advice and support, I also include the rest of the team with my praise. Well done all and thankyou.
