I was so happy today as the woman who took me to go see the house was helpful and kind and honest she very down to earth she explained everything so clearly and sound she so sound like pound, sorry but cant remember her name correctly but I thinks is Courtney.

That sounds like a wonderful experience! It's great to hear that Courtney made such a positive impression on you. Having someone helpful, kind, and honest guiding you through such an important decision can make all the difference. If Courtney's professionalism and warmth stood out to you, it's likely she's made a lasting impression. Good luck with the house hunting process!

I have offered to go reclean & add 2 lightbulbs but apparently I am not allowed back in due to Linley & Simpsons policies.

Hi Darlington,
It was a pleasure meeting you and your family.
I appreciate that it is really difficult to find a property at the moment but I am so glad that the whole team at L&S were able to find you your future home.
Thanks for the recommendation and such kind words.

TrustpilotDisgusted and lied to .health risk
By being honest and thoughtfull especially when someone's health is at risk..terrible service. Customer care needs improving.Absolutely disgusted..me and my partner turned up to view a property we both have health conditions..me myself type 1 with low immune system...we got there to find out that they had booked another party to view at the same time even though we had explained our situation to Linley and Simpson.. so we walked away from the viewing due to the health risk.. we called the office and got a snotty response from them..no respect and not a care for anyone's health..won't be using these again..hope if you use them they are a bit more honest and thoughtful with you..

TrustpilotGreat experience.
I've had the pleasure of been looked after initially by Sharon and then by will. Both have been really helpful and nothing ever seems to an issue for them. I have had to report a couple of issues and each one was dealt with very quickly and painlessly. Really can't fault them.

Our family recently have viewed few properties listed by this agency. I must say that we had great experience and I would definitely recommend them to our friends and family. Daniel Crewe who organised the viewings was very professional and friendly with great knowledge about the areas. Will definitely continue to use their services.

GoogleLinley & Simpson were brilliant at making my first move simple, quick and easy. Kayleigh from the York branch in particular was amazing at liaising between all parties involved including answering emails quickly and helping me with any questions I had (even over the smallest things). She made the move possible within a matter of weeks and was always lovely to talk to- great customer service. Would highly recommend.

We recently went for a property viewing with Lydia Fletcher and were satisfied with her professional performance. She is friendly, well-prepared for the viewing, and explained everything throughout the entire process. She also did follow-up work after the appointment. Highly recommended to everyone who is looking to buy or rent a property.

TrustpilotConsumer Landlords Avoid
Purely my experience but as a consumer landlord or a landlord with a small number of properties I would not use this company and know many landlords who have left or avoided them due to the reasons below.Linley & Simpson recently acquired Hop due to their, "Aggressive Growth Strategy" and since then communication, customer service, familiarity with properties & tenants and proactiveness have been poor and only improved once notice was served. It's entirely fine to buy from other companies but if you haven't the infrastructure, and staffing and your target market is student properties and bigger portfolios then smaller properties are quite rightly not their focus - don't manage 800 new properties if you can't or manage their exit or have a dedicated manager.No one at the company visits the properties so didn't know what I was speaking about so 'local knowledge' isn't quite correct, 'putting people first' chasing people and communications doesn't fit this either - I could go on. This is based on facts and first-hand experience and I am changing letting agents to ensure I get the service that Linley & Simpson offers & markets but doesn't provide. Instead, choose a local letting agent with reasonable fees and direct communications.
