DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT USING THIS LETTING AGENCY. I moved into a property with Linley and Simpson in March 2019. The existing boiler was faulty and it took them 10 weeks to fix leaving me with no heating or hot water for this period of time and then blamed the contractor for the delays. I have since reported a fault with my bathroom floor and 11 weeks later I am still awaiting somebody to come and look at the problem. I have asked to be released from my tenancy agreement early due to the lack of resolution of repairs and they have told me that I would be liable for the remarketing costs and any further rent until they have relet the property. I have other issues regarding rent and when I spoke to the office a very rude lady just constantly talked over the top of me and would not listen to my concerns. Seems that all they are interested in is taking your money. ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL
