Extremely disappointed with the service…
Extremely disappointed with the service at Leaders - Colchester branch. Would not recommend them to anyone.
I was never given keys to the front door of the building when they informed my multiple times they would give it to me. It's been three months since I moved into the flat and I still have no keys to the front door of the building. Now they are telling me that they don't have keys to the front door and I need to ask my neighbours for their keys so that I could make a copy. They want me to ask keys from neighbours who I have never met. Would you be giving your keys to a neighbour you've never met??
On top of all of this, their communication is awful. They do not even have the decency to reply to emails. I had to go into the office itself to get an update on the keys because they would not reply to my emails.
Would not recommend leaders at all. I myself would not even think about using leaders again.

Leaders are an absolute disgrace
Leaders are an absolute disgrace and thieves. Tuesday 27/08 was my last day, I was sent a check out report on 28/08 which clearly showed a black plastic bag left at the property. I contacted Leaders on 29/08 by phone (as seen in the screenshot) and was told by Rob the ‘property manager’ the cleaners had not been in yet and they would give me a call. I specifically stressed I wanted the bag back as it had items of my girlfriend that were valuable and had been gifts during our relationship and are of significant meaning. I was ignored by email but on the phone They said that they will get the cleaner to contact me about it and that the cleaner would be going in on Friday. Nobody contacted me that day so I called the office again- I was told Rob would call me back (he didn’t.) Yesterday Monday 02/09 I called the office again and Rob said the cleaner hadn’t gone in yet and would be going later that day. (Again nobody called). Today (Tuesday 03/09) I called the office and asked for the cleaners number. The cleaner then told me that they couldn’t find it and that 9 different people had been in over the last few days (this isn’t what the property manager told me). I called Rob straight after and he simply said ‘they must have disposed of it. It should have been taken. There’s nothing we can do.’ Here’s something leaders can do 1) don’t tell people wrong information 2) don’t disregard requests from people who have been tenants from them and let them know immediately that the bag was of significance and they could come to collect it. 3) show some respect instead of trying to fob me off all week and then act like it was out of their control the entire time. I will be taking this shambles of a company to small claims court.

Julie Preston is so helpful
Julie Preston is so helpful. We've been in this house since 2000, but we're now moving into a caravan. Julie is so helpful and always negotiates with the landlord to keep the costs low. Leaders have always been good to us. We are looking to buy a house so I would go back to Leaders, and they have always been supportive to us.

Rob from leaders has always done his upmost in terms of sorting any problems with the property. Have been without an oven since before Easter but he was very apologetic and said he’d been away for a week which is fair enough and since he’s been back we’re now booked in for a new oven. He responds fairly quickly also.
