Our team of over 250 staff, and the family of 21 branches, share the same mission:

Whether you’re letting, selling, renting or buying your home, we will provide a first-class service built on professionalism and trust.

By embracing innovative technology, ensuring we are at the forefront of new ideas, and investing in the skills of our people, we strive to always be the best at what we do.

We know every corner of Yorkshire, and our brilliant team will do whatever it takes to help you find a property. That’s how it’s been since Will Linley and Nick Simpson put their heart and soul into the property business in 1997.

Linley & Simpson’s third decade in business is driven by the same strong values and local knowledge that old and new customers have loved since we opened in Horsforth and Oakwood. Having added Harrogate, Wetherby, Leeds City Centre, Wakefield, York, Ilkley, Ripon, Chapel Allerton, and more to the portfolio, our reach grows with every regional branch.

The service provided at the Holmfirth branch has been disgraceful and unhelpful. Certainly would not use again for rental properties.
The response below does not acknowledge the fact that the estate agents made the error in the documentation

I have never experienced such poor customer service. Dealing with this letting agent has been a constant battle. The only thing they have been consistent with is their incompetence.

We moved out in mid-June and had to chase for our checkout report. Once it was finally sent, we responded promptly, only to be met with complete radio silence by Umara. The matter is now with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS).

After speaking to friends and reading other reviews, this seems to be a recurring pattern with L&S—particularly claiming a property requires a "deep clean" if tenants haven't used their recommended cleaning company.

We're now being told our apartment requires both a deep clean and a professional carpet clean, yet we've been informed by our former neighbours that renovation works are currently taking place in the property. It raises serious questions about the legitimacy of these proposed deductions (note no actual cost of anything has been provided).

Interestingly, my previous review of this company was removed.

So sorry it has taken so long to leave this review. I can't thank Lauren enough from Linley & Simpson for all the support and guidance she gave us throughout the application and beyond. Nothing was too much trouble. I would give her 10 stars but unfortunately it only goes up to 5.
Lauren is a credit to the company. Never in all my years has an advisor been so supportive.
Thank you Lauren. All of your hardwork is very much appreciated. I'm just sorry we didn't get to meet Lauren to thank her in person upon collecting the keys as she was on annual leave x

I have used the services of Linley & Simpson in Bingley twice, once as a buyer 2 years ago & more recently, as a landlord.
As a buyer, the service I received was flawless, from start to finish, I had zero complaints.
As prospective landlords, we dealt firstly with Verity who we found to be very knowledgeable & extremely professional throughout.
The viewings for our property were the responsibility of Andy who was fabulous and handled the entire procedure with kind professionalism. Andy provides a
1st class service, responding quickly to any emails we sent and answered all our questions & concerns.
I would not hesitate to recommend Linley & Simpson, they are a great team!

Positive renting experience

So far I’ve found renting through Linley & Simpson to be a positive experience. The application process was thorough but straightforward, and all documentation was handled swiftly. Most importantly, where maintenance issues have arisen, they have been easy to report, and handled to a high standard in a fairly timely manner. My understanding is that each tenancy has one agent assigned to dealing with these, so in this case credit should go to Nicole Stanley at the York branch of Linley & Simpson.
