Please don't go with this agency even if you are desperate as I was. Awful doesn't even begin to descripe it. Heed the warning of the low reviews. Upon moving into my flat, here is a list of the majority of things wrong with it: Extremely dirty - rust, cobwebs, black mould, dirt, stains, holes; broken furniture (literally broken); huge holes in the door; door off its hinges; rotten wood in bathroom and kitchenl; toilet doesn't flush properly; extractor fan doesn't work; gas hob doesn't ignite; light flickers; light switch moves in and out of the wall and isn't fixed properly; burns in the carpet; holes in the carpet; carpet is old and worn and ugly and doesn't acutally fit (doesn't meet the walls at all); there are two big holes in the bathroom; damp and mould; curtains ripped off and curtain rail bent; duct tape holding edges of doors together; chucks missing from wood everywhere; did I mention the filth and dirt? 2 bed flat and we pay £1,040. And that's what we get? Save yourself. Use literally anyone else in Leeds.

    I've been with Samara two years and they make everything incredibly easy. The companion app makes it easy to call out maintenance issues. A lot of people don't seem to understand that you don't send pictures and describe the issues your having, they won't magically get fixed. I've got nothing but ... Read Full Review

    The initial viewing process and moving in support was great. Gave me multiple choices, drove me to all of the places, were very transparent and clear with instructions.

    Nearly impossible to get them out to fix something. Their fees are extortionate, £50 call our charge? £18 to replace a key card for a door? Ridiculous.

    Samara informed us on the day we moved in that the washing machine and shower were broken. We found out the previous tenants had reported this 10 days prior, but Samara still took over a month on top of that to fix the issues. The out of hours number that they give you for emergencies is exactly ... Read Full Review

    The maintenance service is really poor. Despite the fact I have reported a problem with the fire alarm that is going off once and again. The company did not even respond to any of my emails. And what it is worse, the alarm is going off as no one came to fix it. This means that the alarm is wailing ... Read Full Review

    The worst experience with any letting agency I have ever dealt with.

    Make you pay the admin fee before you receive the contract, despite the actual contract stating you don’t need to pay it until you sign.

    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.
