Let me introduce myself . I was dealing with Leaders in Southampton , Oceanvillage. I am Landlord for last 10 years. I have never come cross such a miserable service like Leaders . I am giving one star only because the system doesn't allow me to give minus 5 stars . These are bunch of useless, inexperienced, arrogant and ignorant teenagers with no proper management. I gave a brand new flat for management . I am starting from screening methods . They never allow the Landlord to see previous references and somehow they false for tenant to pass the screening. They are trying to make you accept the no deposit option , which is rubbish if you have problems with tenant. They increased the management fee few days after signing contract. They knew about rise , but hide the information until shortly after signing contract.
With their management style they caused me lot of financial damage. I will start from their inventory and regular 3monthly visits !! .They just go there for Photo op and don't care and don't do proper inventory . If there is damage and repair needed they are not able to gain access to property. I couldn't even get the appraiser to visit the flat for remortgaging and end up paying high rate mortgage for 4-5 months . After all they ignore your emails and phone calls and never return your calls. Finally I received my flat back in very bad shape and still waiting for them to process the costs from deposit. They caused me all together a lot of damage and I am still waiting for compensation. I will definitely escalate this to ombudsman and court if needed .
In summary if you are a bad tenant , have a bad reference and looking to cause problems, go with them . They will sort you out and somehow accommodate you .
But if you are Landlord avoid , avoid and avoid
Thanks
Sako
