Why did we not see the warning signs? They didn't get back to us when we enquired about the property and we had to do the chasing. After travelling 140 miles to view an apartment for my daughter, we were told just minutes before the appointment that they had to cancel as Leaders didn't have the key. When I insisted that we couldn't come back another day they said that they would go and get the key (it was at their other office within walking distance!!). They turned up with only one of two keys needed and we accepted the apartment without viewing it. They then forgot to look at passports and documents for ID that we had brought with us so panicked the day they needed them. They insisted my daughter race to our closest branch in a neighbouring town to show her passport even though she was about to leave for a flight and almost missed going on holiday. It was chaos. (They then photocopied the wrong pages of the passport).... but we got it! My daughter loved the apartment and (after we had spent the first day cleaning it) she moved in and has enjoyed living there BUT any time there is a problem it has been exacerbated by this utterly useless and uncaring management company. They have tried to charge for renewing contracts that were not necessary and are always slow organising repairs. The person you need to speak to is always 'away' and now they have a new computer system that can be blamed for messages not getting through. The latest in a long list of issues is the window ledge has rotted so much that it came away in my daughter's hand when closing her window. It's February and the wind and rain was coming in. Leaders sent someone to board up part of the window. This hasn't stopped the wind from blowing in and the rain runs down the window and into the flat behind the boarding so she has to keep a towel there. This is right next to her bed. Leaders have told her that the owner is "very angry" with her! She has tried to contact the owner in the past to let him know how they are ripping him off but he doesn't seem to be interested either. My advice is if you are renting: however much you love the place, it just isn't worth the hassle. They will make your life miserable. My advice if you are letting a property: however low they make the price be assured that your property will not be looked after and could get a bad reputation because of the totally crap management of it. I'm very upset hearing my daughter crying on the phone about how they are making her life hell.

Me and my partner had an amazing experience with Leaders in Norwich, and could not be happy enough. Our Letting Agent Riley Fox always kept effective and open communication with us; he helped us throughout the whole process and we couldn’t be more grateful. Overall, the whole letting...

Leaders are all smiles whilst they are trying to get you signed up but once you are a tenant and have signed on the dotted line you will get no help. We rented an apartment and Leaders promised that desks would be provided, they even wrote this as a note on the contract, but on moving in day there ... Read Full Review

The worst rental experience I have ever had. I've been renting for years and years but have encountered degrees of laziness and complete utter incompetence like at Leaders. It is remarkable how bad they are. It's really bold that they use so many children in their advertisements because... Read Full Review

Incompetent is a complete understatement. I have been renting for more than a little while and I have never had to deal with the idiocy that is leaders. From day one we were chasing up on the phone because no one bothered to call us. Referencing was a complete joke but that's a whole... Read Full Review

Utterly useless company to deal with. Avoid them at all costs. I assure you that your “dream home” won’t be found by the Leaders Norwich lettings team. Below are some of the delights you can expect: Delays to move in date announced with little to no notice. Doors... Read Full Review

They preyed on my desperation. 1 star is too much. They couldn't sort out my reference checks in time, had to pay for an extra night in a hotel. All because the third party company they use couldn't muster up the ingenuity to make a phone call to ask my employer for a reference. They... Read Full Review

Despite the review from the previous tenant, we had a very positive experience with Leaders. Jack Carter was exceptionally helpful and our move was managed without any problems. We found Leaders to be friendly, helpful and professional at all times and wouldn't hesitate to use them in the... Read Full Review

I have always thought that moving to a new a place was very stressful. On the contrary, the process was quite smooth, thanks to Leaders. The letting agent I have been in contact throughout the entire process, Tom Haskett, was brilliant. He was more than willing to answer all my questions and very... Read Full Review

We had the worst time whilst renting with Leaders right from the beginning. Before it was made illegal to do so they were sneaking in extra charges all over the place. They never repaired anything when we complained about something going wrong. We lived in a house that was covered in mold. A rat... Read Full Review

As a tenant, who is supposed to have their property ‘managed’ by leaders, I can only say it’s one of the worst companies I’ve ever had to deal with. Inexperienced and incompetent. Always passing the buck to someone else so they don’t have to deal... Read Full Review
