Re letting of property

I found the service provided by L&S in getting a new tenant for my property was very good. All went smoothly and I was kept informed all along the way from the existing tenant leaving to the new tenant taking the keys to the property. Thanks to Zak and Lauren

Grace Smithson at Linley & Simpson

Linley & Simpson have managed our property for rental for a couple of years now, and have provided satisfactory management during that time. Grace Smithson has recently been dealing with maintenance of the property and has handled things in a professional and helpful manner. Her prompt replies and action to our queries and requests have meant that both us and our tenants have received excellent service as required.

Great communication

Throughtout the process of finding a buyer I have been very impressed with the communication with sales team which is very important when selling a property. Tom has always called / updated whenever he said he would without fail and provided great feedback which is much appreciated. He dealt with a lot of back and forth between prospective buyers and was very informative helping us to make the right decision. Thank you for all of your help!

Very good service.

We have been with Linley and Simpson for some years now as Landlords and we have always found them to be very prompt and helpful when problems have cropped up with our flat. This benefits both our tenant and ourselves. Sophie was no exception. Problems within the microwave and the blind were resolved quickly and efficiently. Thank you.

Incompatent Lettings Team

The Lettings Negotiators are just quite incompetent; that's the only word to describe my whole experience.

Save yourself the headache and avoid the lettings team at Linley & Simpson. While the staff on the phone are polite and nice for the most part, the administrative execution and internal communication are utterly incompetent.

I spent days doing all the legwork myself, regularly having to call their office in excess of 15 times a day just to get through to someone, only to be met with endless delays, excuses, and dead ends on basic paperwork.

If you are a tenant needing a reliable agency that actually handles admin without you having to micromanage them, look elsewhere.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that your experience with our Lettings team did not meet your expectations.

We appreciate your kind comments about our colleagues on the phone, but we're disappointed to learn that you experienced delays, poor communication and had to spend so much time chasing for updates. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating this must have been.

We would like the opportunity to investigate what happened and see if we can put things right. Please contact us at feedback@linleyandsimpson.co.uk with your details and the property address, and a member of our team will look into your experience.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
