My partner and I've just moved houses with L&S, and the whole process has been easy and everyone we've dealt with has been pleasant. Most of our application was managed by Gabrielle, and she's also helped with a couple of things since we moved in. We've always had swift replies from her, and she's been nothing but polite and efficient, so thank you!

The wakefield branch of this company are the worst organised disaster of a company if your child is attending uni in this area do everything to avoid this company, they consistently mess rents up and terms so they dont align with student loans causing constant arrears letters, caused by “an automated system” the rooms are substandard in cleanliness and then they charge for cleaning upon vacation, they are purely a money making zero care business, if anything faults i. Tenancy it takes an age to get fixed then when they mess up the final rental period and offer a payment plan as its their fault ( their words)they go back on their word and simply deduct it from your rent they obviously employ anyone who cant add up or type as some of the letters have been laughable GO ELSEWHERE FOR STUDENT ACCOMADATION and read other 1 star reviews as these comments are echoed over and over 1star is too high for these cowboys

STUDENTS STAY CLEAR OF LINLEY AND SIMPSON If I could give negative stars I would. From a student letting with Linley and Simpson in a property owned by the owner of the university, Linley and Simpson have failed at every hurdle with me. From failing to provide notice of people attending my property, effectively breaking in, to miscommunication on several occasions including misreporting rent due, not noting details for deposit repayment correctly to straight up lying to me about ways to pay as a result of their incompetence and mistakes. Linley and Simpson have been completely unreliable and useless as a letting agent to a tenant, this is not an isolated incident with numerous maintenance problems and complaints from students all letting from Linley and Simpson. I’d advise anyone to seek any other letting agent over Linley and Simpson and hope more people are able to see what absolute liabilities and crooks they are.

I'm a Landlord and inherited Linley & Simpson when my previous letting agent sold the business. I've been incredibly impressed with all aspects of the service from the initial handover to a recent tenant change. Maintenance issues are reported and dealt with promptly and I'm always kept in the loop. Account statements are also refreshingly simple. We recently had a tenant change and Charlotte and the rest of the lettings team have been wonderful and have kept the void period very short and both the outgoing and incoming tenants happy. I've no hesitation in recommending Linley & Simpson.

We are currently looking to lease a property through L&S and to date the process has been professional and efficiently managed by Wendy. Our viewing yesterday was handled by Gabrielle, who also demonstrated a high level of professionalism and answered all our questions and concerns fully, and in a friendly, polite manner. A big thank you to you both. Phil

Unfortunately really poor service from each department that we’ve had to deal with over the years of renting with this letting agents that took over our previous one. Over time things have just become progressively worse to the point that we are now having to get the council involved to help us as the maintenance department have no interest in ensuring that the property is a safe and healthy environment to live in.

I’m a tenant and since Ebony Robinson has taken over I have seen a massive difference. She is always quick to provide updates and keep us in the loop and she listens to all of our queries. She is a true credit to Linley & Simpson! - Dale Robbins, Ashby House Tenant

From viewing to moving in to our fabulous apartment the staff at Linley & Simpson have been very professional and so helpful. We would most certainly recommend this estate agent as the communication is excellent. We have been impressed with the attention to COVID-19 awareness and the team have been marvellous. Thank You so much. Kindest Regards - Delia and David Norris xPositiveProfessionalism

Having rented several times and being a generally clean person, agencies never had an issue with how I left a property on checkout until my encounter with Linley and Simpson. Admittedly I left in a rush and my standards weren't as exacting as before so there was some light gardening (Strimming edges and de-weeding approx 3m2) and some interior dusting and surface wiping to be done. I was prepared to foot the bill until Chanelle Taylor came back to me with a quote/bill for £440! I requested that other more competitive quotes be sought but my request fell on deaf ears and I would have had to raise a formal dispute through Reposit to go further with it which would have cost me £60 from the get go. Feeling backed into a corner, I paid and was left frustrated that not only was the checkout carried out much more meticulously than the check-in, but that they were unwilling to get a competitive quote, and also that part of the so-called "Dilapidations" were caused by the agency themselves when they brought in prospective future tenants to visit with dirty footwear. Aside from this, I had requested to be allowed to upgrade the bedrooms by fitting black-out blinds behind the curtains and after 10 months I still didn't get a response. I went ahead and did it anyway but these were conveniently ignored at the checkout (no doubt they will be included in the next tenants check-in)! I also officially reported a kitchen tap leaking and it took around 5 months for them to have it changed. I left this property because they sent notice of an annual rent increase of more than 10%, which was rather cheekily less than they rented the property for after I left. Linley and Simpson seem to take care of their landlords and not care for their tenants. They squeeze every last penny from you.

Emma and the team at Linley and Simpson have been a breath of fresh air. I have a number of properties in the area and have dealings with numerous agents. Their "can-do" attitude and willingness to go the extra mile has meant I have migrated a large number of my properties to their management .
