My review is based on fact and my personal experience of using this company whilst looking to Rent a commercial unit for the purpose of running a cafe. Communications were very poor from the start and throughout the process of enquiring about the opportunity of renting the unit(s) for the purpose of running a cafe. The first issue was the advertising of the unit; it was advertised as £600 per month, however, buried deep in the description, it was actually 2 units, each at £600 per unit. To cut a long story short, after several weeks of chasing, I had to pull out of this rental, due to absolutely shocking communications and no formal lease agreement in place at the time of advertising. Hackney and Leigh suggested the delays were due to the landlord; however, having contacted the landlord directly, I was told otherwise. I personally, would not use this company again, as mentioned, this is 1 of 3 incidents over the past 10 months of using this company.

My review is based on fact and my personal experience of using this company whilst looking to purchase a residential property in Kendal, Cumbria. I started the process of purchasing a property in October. There was a known issue, however, that issue wasn't clearly communicated and was far worse than originally communicated, resulting in having to back out of the purchase, 10 weeks in, with no sign of an exchange. Its important to note, I had sold my house and was living in a motorhome, in the middle of winter. I spent weeks chasing for answers and made it clear my living situation was not sustainable, long term. I also stipulated I wanted an exchange date before the end of the year. It was Friday 22nd, I found out an exchange date wasn't possible, as the issue discussed at the start of the process, was delayed even further, but that hadn't been communicated to me by Hackney and Leigh, I found out, by insisting with speaking to the vendor, which Hackney and Leigh were reluctant to allow, I now know why. All in all, a very poor experience, which I hope never to go through again, which is why I will avoid using this company in the future.

I just want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support, patience and hard work on getting my tenants settled into the property and putting both property and mind at ease. You have been very efficient, understanding and professional in all you have done. I cannot thank you enough. Hackney & Leigh have supported me since 2016 with my Buy to Let Cottage in Kendal, Cumbria. I first came across them in 2014 when I bought the property needing advice as the agents I was buying the property from were hostile, disinterested and extremely unprofessional. Hackney and Leigh at that time unconditionally gave me sound advice and professional support then as they have done on every occasion since. This is why I can highly recommend Jo, Sam, Clare, Natasha, Lauren, Paul, Izzy, Laura, Nicola and the whole team at Hackney & Leigh, Kendal. (Sorry if I have missed anyone's name that I have dealt with, you are all amazing and a little bit more. ï) All the best, wishing you a productive year, thanks Diane A.

Clearly I was very desperate trying to use Hackney and Leigh again to rent a property in Kendal and the surrounding areas. I make such a comment because in 2011/2012 when I registered with the estate agents I declared I was a single parent with one small child. I knew it was a mistake as soon as I uttered the words. Each and every time thereafter when I tried to arrange a viewing of a property I never succeeded, despite the fact that I am highly qualified and earn a good salary. The upshot was I used a different agency, which did not blatantly discriminate against single women with child/ren. In 2016, I returned to this agency to source alternative housing as my tenancy was nearing its end. This time I am pregnant and have just experienced discrimination under the 2010 Equality Act when one of their landlords whom I met made the most disdainful and offensive snide remarks about my pregnancy and then refused to lease her property to me - as this occurred through an estate agency, Hackney and Leigh are responsible. I seriously suggest this horrible estate agency check legislation on the 2010 Equality Act before they are sued!!!!! I suggest any single parents out there or those women who are pregnant find an alternative estate agency or simply withhold such personal information. I find it absolutely incredulous that Hackney and Leigh are engaging in such conduct.
