Had nothing but headaches and bad tastes left by them. All they seem to be interested in is money. Customer service is none existent with them, when you have a query all that happens is that you get spoken over and told this is the way it is. Multiple times my boiler has stopped working and have to wait ridiculous amounts of time for it to be fixed, 3 months was the worst. Even worse that the power shower has never worked so left washing in a sink with cold water, not great in winter. Other repairs just get swept under carpet, shower, paint peeling off walls, 2nd story and doorbell has never worked. Had an issue with a neighbor in which we have communal stairs, made my son poorly from their drug use in which it states in the tenancy agreement there is a zero tolerance policy for, I have given them proof of the drug use and violence but they are unwilling to do anything at all. Fell behind with my rent due to Covid and suddenly I am getting numerous phone calls requesting funds but are unwilling to talk about anything else and as soon as you do try they shut you off and continuously try to talk over you. There is one lady in the credit control who is incredible and goes above and beyond but that is the only good thing I have come to know about them and it means nothing when there is so much bad. I would highly recommend staying away from this money grabbing, I'll communicating group of people who really need to understand there is a way to talk to people and it's people's lives they are affecting. If I could give zero stars I would.

Cannot believe what we have just been through with leaders. We had secured a property back in April, told that it is available from 28th June which was perfect. We viewed and paid the deposit straight away. Contracts were signed by us and the landlord. Everything was great. We even went to the... Read Full Review

Experienced landlord with different lettings agency over the years I can say Leaders hands down is the most incompetent agency I have ever come across. Leaders are simply too BIG to care and YOU ARE JUST A NUMBER, they do not care about you or your property. Paid for a fully managed service... Read Full Review

Worst property agents to ever deal with.They are manipulative and conspire with their landlords to prey on Tenants. I rented a 5 bedroom house from them and was advised that it was long tenancy,so i got myself comfortable knowing i was going to leave in the property for atleast 5 years.They... Read Full Review

Incompetent and dishonest. Renting with Leaders was a shambles from application to the end of tenancy - and beyond, as a year on they are suddenly chasing us for money that they insisted on refunding when our tenancy ended. The property was unsafe for a year due to poor and delayed maintenance and... Read Full Review

Horrible agency. Extremely unprofessional and unfair. I took an old house from them - marked walls, broken door glasses, ripped wallpapers, dirty oven. Landlord wasn’t willing to sort any of that, told me to take the house ‘as it is’ so I painted, fixed everything I... Read Full Review

Absolutely useless, zero interest in actually renting the houses they have available. Was trying to get in touch for nearly a week (Derby office) but all I got was empty promises of call backs and nothing else. They hardly ever answer their phone. After all the emails I sent and the phone calls I... Read Full Review

Apart from the fact they hardly ever answer the phone, I'm not impressed with Leaders Derby. I had a property viewing arranged which was confirmed by text but nobody turned up and phone calls go to answerphone which is par for the course with Leaders as arranging the viewing was a nightmare...

Paperwork always slow (11 months for a variation to a tenancy), constantly pushing to increase the rent, very rarely contact or make visits to the property - had to request one after 19 months had...

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
