Leaders - Cambridge Reviews 

I want to thank everyone who works here . Amazing customer service and kept me informed all the way .

Thank you for making the move painless as possible

Leaders was a great help in the processing of the property. They are very supportive in all our enquiries. I would like to greatly appreciate Alfie Orvis who is always there for us to offer support in our needs especially to me when I had trouble in my account, he helped me a lot. To all staff of Leaders Thank you so much.

As a potential tenant, was never kept informed.
Emails not answered.
Terrible service.

Great support from the entire team especially Alfie Orvis who guided and helped us through out the tenancy. Highly recommended

Great communication, up to date on changing regulations. Reassured by the support I receive, especially from Alfie Orvis who I know will do his best to help.

Great estate agents. Really open and honest. Helped me and my partner go from being homeless to renting a house. The staff, especially in the st ives branch are so incredibly helpful and our property manager A orvis has always responded quickly to any queries I had.

Leaders have been very proactive and convenient in the management of our property. In particular, Alfie Orvis has been very responsive and helpful, in arranging maintenance to the property and dealing with external requests.

Horrible experience, they messed up all aspects of the tenancy ( I’m the owner of a property).
We hired Leaders to fully manage our property and they couldn’t have been less useful. Not only that, they caused a lot of stress before, during and now at the end of the tenancy.

They were not responding to my emails, they overcharged us, they made mistakes that delayed the tenants to move in, and they blamed us.
They overcharged us again ( we were charged twice the check out fee) , and they confirmed to the current tenants that they could leave the property three days later than the agreed date without consulting us ( and this affects the new tenants check in).

They are USELESS , I think I’ve never dealt with less incompetent people than them in my life!!!

They are full of lies, lack of response and mess things up all the time.

They have been taking our money for nothing , they are not worth a penny of the commission we have paid to them for a year!

I’m not surprise the turnover of their staff members , every time I was talking to a different person.

DO NOT CHOOSE THEM IF YOU WANT A SMOOTH TENANCY

They have a real problem with paying when they owe money. The experience I have had I cannot go into too much detail on because of legal issues.

However, without being specific their Cambridge office is totally useless. They are constantly understaffed, the staff they do have are incompetent, uninterested and rude. The number of staff they turn over in a year is alarming with a new property manager every other month. It feels as though you are an annoyance to them despite the fact that they are paid to manage the property. I have been told that there are contractors who have had a similar experience with them but don't know if that is true or not.

Whatever way you cut it they are making a fortune from tenants, landlords and contractors and they behave as though you owe them something.

My property manager is Alfie Orvis, always professional and answers my emails promptly. Was very helpful on a recent negotiation with my landlord regarding my rent increase

Appalling company, particularly Cambridge, no idea. If you don’t take their no deposit offer, like to see if commissions are paid, they are not interested

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the service and communication from Leaders, especially regarding our recent move-out and the handling of our deposit.

Firstly, we received conflicting and inaccurate information about the status of our deposit return. We were told that our deposit was available pending confirmation, but we were not properly informed and even blamed for a lack of action on our part, which was false. This lack of clarity caused unnecessary confusion and stress. We have email evidence supporting these claims.

Additionally, despite vacating the property, we continued to receive calls and emails from Leaders and contractors regarding issues that no longer concerned us. This only stopped after multiple requests and 4 emails from myself to have our personal details removed. It was intrusive and added to the frustration of the overall experience.

Over the last two years, the quality of service from Leaders has been consistently poor. There have been numerous instances of miscommunication and lack of responsiveness that have significantly impacted our experience as tenants.

I hope this feedback reaches Beth Harding and Bethany Stewart of the Cambridge Leaders team, as it is crucial that these issues are addressed to prevent similar experiences for future tenants.

Alessia Musca offers a first rate service for tenancy management. She is thorough and personable and instills confidence.

Provided wrong and misleading information at house viewing. Never replied emails even though we made it clear we can’t take phone calls at work and can only reply messages or emails. Poor service attitude all through. Laughable poor quality of house photos on rightmove.

With them for many years . Dedicated personal contact & built up a good working relationship . Paid for a premium service & certainly received that .

Leaders is such a great and exceptional property agent. I love their customer care services and my property manager (Alfie) is always helpful and considerate.
I would recommend them times over.

I live permanently in Greece and my property has been in your hands (with several firm name changes) since the purchase in 1998.

Not being on the spot makes efficient management all the more essential, and it's definitely time for me to give your excellent Senior Property Manager, Andre Payne, a 'public' pat on the back and many thanks for his exceptional service during a tricky issue with the current tenants. He has managed to bring it to a more than satisfactory conclusion, no doubt employing all his qualities of diplomacy, and gentle persuasion! He has a very pleasant manner and shows a willingness to help with any problem that might occur. I know that my property is safe in his hands, and am glad to see that his abilities have been acknowledged with his recent promotion. Long may his assets continue to be appreciated!"

Awful experience with Leaders Cambridge branch. The company is a farce. They were supposed to be managing my property and I ended up doing it all myself as they were didn't do anything and were unresponsive to contact from both landlord and tenants. The tenants were without a shower for 11 weeks. It broke once and their person did a quick fix (at great expense) which broke again almost immediately. Their contractors charge double any other workmen and do a terrible job (in my experience). Despite numerous prompts Leaders didn't act to fix the shower, so I had to source, arrange and pay a workman to fix it myself. My house was damaged because the water leaked through the walls. The person in charge of my property was never on top of what was happening in the house and didn't communicate which ended with both myself and the tenants leaving Leaders for better options. The check out was the biggest joke of all with Leaders managing to lose a set of keys meaning I had to get a locksmith. They delayed so much with check out and I still haven't seen a check out report and don't believe it was actually done as there is significant damage and lost items in the house that they didn't raise with the tenants. Leaders have cost me time, money, and significant stress. I am still chasing them for rent payments 6 months later that they have from the tenants but haven't paid to me. It feels like a scam.
I'm now with a different company that charges much less, and whilst I take more responsibility it's less work than chasing leaders to do something and my tenants are also very happy with the house. I won't ever use Leaders for anything again as the experience has been so poor.
