As a tenant I was treated with open complacency and snobbery. The only aspect of being a customer I experienced was handing over money including for invented fees. Only interested in representing landlords because they clearly don't have to compete for the unless supply of would be tenants. Dodgy unfair contracts include resisting rolling rent and insisting on fixed terms every 6 months to charge renewal fees and restrict available housing for temporary contract workers.
Invented fees presumably used to be charged to landlords who they now charge as little as possible to in order to compete for their business because of the shortage of small houses and flats.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Joe Speight in my view is obnoxious, arrogant,rude and patronising. Her staff put the phone down when ur still speaking, don't return calls,dont do what they say they will and whisper infront of you. Matthew ushered us to the door to get rid of us. They are all for the landlord and not the... Read Full Review

terrible agents. did not respond to many of our issues with the house during our tenancy and then took money from us fraudlently. They asked us to pay for repainting as we had made some holes for hanging pictures which we did.. then i checked a few weeks later with the new tenants and they hadn't... Read Full Review

Clause 2.41 of the tenancy agreement entitled "The Tenant Hereby agrees with Landlord" used by L&S appears to conflict with the instruction in the Deposit Protection Scheme whereby tenants should not be charged by the landlord or their representative for normal wear and tear. 2.41...

When I was looking to rent a property in Ilkley I went round most of the estate agents. Linley & Simpson were the only ones to offer real help and encouragement with both my budget requirements and the fact I had a pet. Other estate agents were a bit dismissive once they realised I had a pet... Read Full Review
