A useless company. I’ve used them as a tenant. My family are landlords ,so I can see both sides of this. I am an extremely laid back person and tenant. I also went above and beyond to make sure costly call outs were avoided where possible. I would be appealed I as a landlord had paid good money to them this ‘ service’. 7 years as a tenant in the same property and it was the agent that made me leave. I would have stayed longer. Delays in repairs (over 3 months with no boiler through winter) repairing things that hadn’t been advised needed doing. Repairs left incomplete ie hole left in wall where old thermostat was. Wires just cut and left. When it came to moving out.. I’ve waited over 4 months my deposit. I chased them 2 weeks after check out after hearing nothing. Sent official email asking the …. Nothing. I had to contact the TDS to step in as I had no communication from them. This was sending emails to both the branch and the finance department! 2 months after my email I received a reply only when the 28 days they had to reply to TDS also lapsed. They suddenly realised they probably should do something and unfortunately TDS gave them another day to submit some evidence. Dragging the ordeal out another month or more. They never returned the undisputed part of the deposit and only now that the TDS have come back on the disputed amount are they replying. I’m the one sending more emails requesting the deposit back. If they don’t then I’m having to take them to small claims like TDS have suggested. I recommended the landlord go with another agent which they have done. Would I go with them any of their ‘ services’ absolutely not. So many other agents to choose and I’m sure better ones to give your money to.

Leaders Guildford are probably the worst agents to rent through. I am now in process of adjudication for the fact that it took them 3 weeks to complete the leaving inventory after I moved out and I am being held responsible for dust, cobwebs and the fact that the garden has grown!!!!

I would make it zero stars if I could Because of COVID-19 we have reduced the rental owed by our tenants by 20% as they have been furloughed. We will not be claiming this money back from the tenants.

"Leaders, Guildford". I am absolutely appalled with the customer care / service that this company fails to provide. The staff are extremely rude at the Guildford branch and i would not recommend them to anyone. Constant problems from the very day we moved in with it being in a disgustedly ... Read Full Review
VERY BAD - Ridiculous that you charged a £30 fee for each tenant for a reference when the landlord wanted to move back in. it was not our choice to leave and you didn't give us any other option than to go with another agent as our experience with your branch has been agonising and when we requested to view your properties no one responded or called to arrange. To argue that we need to pay for a cleaning fee off our deposit when the house was discracefuly left to us when we moved in. With faeces in the toilet and mould in the kitchen - electrical wires hanging in the bedroom not to forget the ceiling light fittings that had burnt and disintegrated !!

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.
