A big thank you to Will for finding me…

A big thank you to Will for finding me the perfect tenant. You have been a dream to work with, professional, open, and charming. You took on board exactly what I was expecting in a tenant, and you delivered. I wish you every success in the future.

Bunch of walking contradictions

Residents next to a street they look after for a landlord contacted LRG for help ref their tenants and ASB.

It took for complaints to be made before anything was actually listened to and still even now their incompetence shows.

How can it go from 'the council won't discuss anything with us' to 'you've been told a few times the council have been told we cannot action personally on ASB'

NOT ONCE HAS ANYONE FROM THIS COMPANY TOLD THAT LAST STATEMENT TO ANY OF US UNTIL TODAY WHICH IS NO GOOD ANYWAY AS I MADE A NUISANCE OF MYSELF ON THE PHONE TO THE COUNCIL MYSELF LAST WEEK AND PASSED YOUR OWN MESSAGE ON FOR YOU

They're an absolute bunch of liars who need a central system to type into so they can all keep up with each others lies.

Avoid this company at all costs, they're absolute amateurs who couldn't organise the proverbial in a brewery !

Thankfully I have good neighbours round me willing to help me with this joke of a company and it won't be the last you hear of it either.

Sort out your internal affairs !!

Bilal was very helpful

Bilal Raqeeb was very helpful throughout the process. He replied fast and had good insights.
I entrusted my property to Bilal to rent it out for me, and he found me good tenants; the process was smooth and easy for me as a landlord.

Periodic review today.

Periodic review today.
Ellie was great. Turned up on time. Very polite. Super efficient.
I know visits are part of renting but it is intrusive & has never felt right having a stranger walk around your home judging cleanliness etc.
Having someone as nice as Ellie turn up is a blessing, takes the stress & awkwardness out of things.
Thanks Ellie

I needed a valuation on my home

I needed a valuation on my home. Selwyn was above and beyond. Not only did he provide this, he also provided me with practical advice on renting my flat out and what the new regulations mean for landlords. He is warm, friendly and extremely helpful, exactly what a first-time landlord, who may feel a little overwhelmed, needs. Thank you for your help!

The process of letting went very well

The process of letting went very well. Specially Aleyna Saklav was really helpful."I had an amazing experience with this letting agent. She is incredibly kind, always responsive, and ready to help at any time. No matter when I contacted her, she got back to me. She always took the time to address any concerns and clarify things right away.

Worst estate agent i have dealt with

Worst estate agent i have dealt with. All issues addressed to them are not rectified. If one person goes to annual leave thats it you have to wait until their return and restart a query which never goes unsolved nomatter the urgency

Sad downhill slide to untrustworthy, uncommunicative agency

It is so very sad what has happened to this lettings agency. They were once independant and were wonderful- I have been using them since 2000 so 27 years in total. They became owned by Leaders and since then is has been a progressive downhill slide. They have withheld funds from me without permission, overcharged me and do not respond to emails. I have lost all trust in them sadly. They also took 2 weeks to tell me my tenant was leaving which has resulted in lost rental fees. There are a few good people trying their best but overall it feels chaotic, understaffed, huge staff turnover and you get billed for everything at every turn. I want to leave and they will not let me move to another agent without kicking out my tenant. It is unbelieable. Such a great shame to see what has happened to a once lovely agency.
