These are the worst estate agents in the area avoid like the plague!
Claudine who runs lettings is the most unprofessional person I have ever had the misfortune of meeting/ dealing with and have reported her to trading standards. During the pandemic things with my flatmate got very toxic and the police had to get involved. Because my flatmate in his infinite wisdom contacted Leonard Leese first they basically just took his word as gospel and never asked me what happened. I felt like I was completely ganged up on and they made a very toxic situation even worse. I caught covid just before I was

Spoke to about 6 people at Leonard Leese, all rude and very unhelpful. I rang 6 times to speak to our agent who was conveniently unavailable every time until I said I would hold until they were available in which it then took 30 seconds, so they blatently lie to then not provide a service! Worst company and estate agents I have ever encountered.

LACKING COSTUMER SERVICE, RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL AND NOT CARING. AVOID. I was due to move in today and dealt with Chloe and after her, Toby. I could not move in because the previous tenants forgot to drop off the keys and it was impossible to get hold of them. Furthermore, I had requested professional cleaning that turns out it was not carried out either and this caused further delays to my move in date. I had to cancel the movers and I lost 150 and I had to pay another 30 to hold my belonging in a storage for an extra night. I found out about this on the morning of the move at 8am and I was

I recently rented a property via Leonard Leese and dealt with Chloe from the team. From the first contact, through to the viewing process and the paperwork, communication was swift and clear.
Chloe was a pleasure to be in touch with, and I am very happy with my experience. I would recommend them to both tenants and landlords/

So far our experience has been great (we're 1 month into the tenancy). Chloe, the rep who showed us the flat and helped seal the deal was extremely helpful, understanding and professional.

Have dealt with Toby for a number of years. He has provided a professional service with good advice on the rent levels to charge to minimise any vacant period. Charges were explained and I had no hidden costs. I would recommend them
