The company was very professional since day one. We stayed in a terraced home managed by Leaders for around 3 years before moving into our own home. Never had any complaints with the property manager... See more

As a FTB

As a FTB, I was very impressed at how smooth the whole process was. I met Kim (Pearson) who has been amazing from day 1, she explained the house buying process to me and nothing was ever too much trouble whenever I had any queries or concerns. Ryan was great too, we kept each other updated throughout the process and it was nice to have someone there to help and made the process feel less daunting. I would recommend Leaders to any future buyers/sellers, they are simply fantastic! The service has been incredible, it really has been 5*! Thank you to everyone at Leaders.

Transition of property to Leaders

My property has just been moved to Leaders and I have been super impressed by the work of Jaspreet Gill and Owen Gough. They have been very responsive and really helpful in looking for solutions and getting work organised. It has been a great start.

great property manager

have a really attentive property manager (Vikki Goodwin).
she is always accurate, If I need any work doing she happily takes care of everything, and keeps me updated at all times - I never need to chase up.
never in the three years she has been managing my properties have I felt disappointed with the level of service she has provided.

I have used Leaders for numerous years and have found them to be very approachable and pro-active in handling the property.
My case manager Vikki Goodwin has always been very easy to talk to, helpful and efficient in dealing with any issues which arise. They also provide regular updates about regulation and tax changes which could impact the landlord.

Disgraceful

Disgraceful - Full of disgusting attitude. No-one wants to help. They are paid good money for a service, and they cant help. Do not waste your time or money. Better doing it yourself. Parents are retired and relied on Leaders helping but obviously not. Awful Derby branch.

Awful

Awful - we pay for full management and we are doing it all ourselves. No-one gets back to you. Most of the staff have attitude. A legal document was sent to the wrong person. GDPR error and no apology. Awful experience.
