TrustpilotBest experience of renting a property
I couldn’t have had a better experience with Linley & Simpson. The entire process, from viewing a property through to signing the tenancy agreement, was so smooth, hassle free and thorough in a way which gave me complete confidence. I would like to particularly commend Elise Crabtree who kept me informed the whole way through and nothing was too much trouble. Also Ben Holmes who was my first point of contact through to handing me the keys! I thoroughly recommend them.
Thank you Saranna, this is lovely to hear, it was a pleasure to help you throughout the process and we wish you all the best in your new home!

TrustpilotCould not be worse
I rented a house in Barnsley after a video viewing which is very common in London and that was my horrible mistake. The property was extremely dirty, smelly and the front garden was simply full of garbage in addition to broken fence. I couldn't tolerate couple of hours and contacted the agency asking to leave by any cost. The agreement was to pay the rent until they find another tenant which I did. The agency didn't repair anything at all during that period and I had to servive somehow with no hot water in shower for 3 weeks. What were really hard to tolerate were rude answers full of disrespect and unprofessional behaviour. I had to send more than 20 emails to chase the rest of rent to be refunded plus the extra amount paid for a fridge which didn't happen. After more than 45 days I received a refund less than that agreed by the branch manger, after many exhausting explanations and delays.
Hello, thank you for the review. We are sorry to hear you feel you haven’t had a good service from the office. When you are requesting an early termination there is a lot of processes to follow and I believe the office even managed to get the landlord to waive the fee you should have paid. The Branch Manager has reached out to you as well to try and help resolve any further communication.

TrustpilotSale of a rental property
The property was a rental for a few years before we had to sell. L&S we’re the rental agent so we used them to as the agent to sell as we hoped communication between the two departments would make it easier. In fact communication was not good either between their own departments or with us. There was an error made which resulted in the sale being completed a month later than it could have been, with the potential risk of losing our buyer.

TrustpilotSale & purchase - double experienced
I've recently used Linley & Simpson Bingley branch to both sell and buy a property. Both the sale and purchase encountered a number of challenges along the way however the team at Linley & Simpson kept me informed, offered proactive guidance and support and dealt with everything swiftly. A special mention to Ruby who is an absolute super star. Her customer service is impeccable. Ruby ensured she checked in regularly, supported with solicitor follow ups and kept on top of viewings and feedback.Thank you again to all the team at L&S for guiding us through what was a pretty challenging and stressful couple of transactions. If I ever sell again I'll definitely be back

Carrie was extremely helpful during our viewing. She thoroughly explained the no deposit scheme and its potential to reduce our moving costs, which I found very useful. I hope to take advantage of this scheme soon.
It's wonderful to hear that Carrie was so helpful and informative during your viewing! Understanding the details of the no deposit scheme can certainly make a difference in reducing moving costs and easing the process. It sounds like Carrie's thorough explanation has been valuable to you as you plan your next steps. Best of luck with taking advantage of the scheme, and I'm glad Carrie could assist you effectively!

TrustpilotReally great experience :)
I'm a first time landlord, and I wasn't really sure what to expect having never let out a property before. Ed and Matt have been amazing though, they've been on hand from the get-go to answer any question I had (even tiny annoying ones, which they did without making me feel silly). I'd heard good things about Linley & Simpson which is why I reached out to them originally, and I'm so glad I did, they've been so great.
Thank you for your review Daniel, It’s great to hear you’ve been happy with our service, I’m glad we were able to find a tenant so quickly for you!

TrustpilotDO NOT RENT IF YOU ARE BAME INDIVIDUAL OR VISA HOLDER
Linley and Simpson Leeds is the most unprofessional letting agency I have rented from. Not only did they let me a flat that was not liveable but also they left me to fix the repairs myself. When I requested to be reimbursed they told me that the landlord would not be willing to pay me for the cost of reimbursement because the value of the repairs is over £60. Laughable right? What’s more laughable is that the agent did not contact the maintenance person to fix the repairs in the flat until I was hiring someone privately. After waiting for so long. Therefore, I was expected to reside in a flat that was against environmental health policy and pay them full month’s rent. However, when I deducted that money from my rent, they threatened to take me to Court for rent arrears. Furthermore, their complaints procedure is an utter joke. You can email all the evidence you have but no one acknowledges your email. A generic email will be sent though stating, we are conducting an investigation. You are not updated on who is conducting the investigation or how far they are during the investigation. But what’s even more concerning, there are other flats in the building that were let and weren’t in a decent state of repair, I learnt this through conversations from the other tenants. The tenants also stated that they were given incorrect information from the agents prior to moving in. Upon, moving in, when they realised that they were given false hope and tried to hold the agent accountable, they (the tenants) were ignored. These flats are mainly occupied by BAME individuals or Visa holders. Now let that sink in.
