Not at all accommodating to my ageing, sight impaired mum who is trying to rent a retirement flat through them. Pressure sales and a quietly increasing rent between negotiation and time to sign it. Saying they will send paper copies then not doing so. We wondered how come such a lovely flat has... Read Full Review

My partner and I went to a view a property that was being shown my Jack Drewitt. He was lovely from start to finish, we got a bit lost and Jack came to find us which we felt was going above and beyond. Whilst in the viewing, Jack was able to answer any and all questions that we had and even gave us ... Read Full Review

Very inflexible. I was calling to request some details for an apartment to rent. It is difficult for me to book a viewing in person, so I asked if a video would be possible. I would have most likely gone ahead with the booking anyway. They were unable to provide one. I can hardly see the reason... Read Full Review

Had mould issues in our flat that were clearly a problem with the flat itself and not anything to do with who was living there. The flat clearly had the problems before we even moved in as you could see where they had tried to "fix the issue by doing nothing but paint over it. So when the... Read Full Review

Whilst the staff at Linley and Simpson are generally friendly people who try to be helpful, our experience with this letting agency has not been a good one. To name a few of our grievances: - It takes an age to get a response to any of our emails, we are still waiting in January for repairs which ... Read Full Review


Comments on Agent Fees

Fees are in line (if extremely overpriced) with other agencies in the area, however the fees are ridiculous when the most basic and fundamental errors are made in paperwork and communication which tenants are paying for.
