This was absymal. The mains burst outside the flat flooding it. It took a fortnight for them to attempt to dry out the carpet, during which interim I was lied to on a daily basis about the progress on making this happen and, when I didn't go away, they attempted to intimidate me by saying that I had threatened the contractor and refused them access to dry the carpets out (why I would do this when they were actually starting to rot I have no idea).
Two months later there still isn't a floor in the flat; although glacial works have started - this is in part the landlord's responsibility but has not in anyway been aided by Leaders.
In addition when I attempted to move the date of the rent they were extremely unhelpful; and are also incapble of responding in a timely fassion to any communication.
In my experience Leaders are not only Lazy but also Incompetant. I would strongly advise choosing another agent; both if you are a tennant, a landlord, or especially an insurer (the damage to the flat was substantially more extensive than necessary due to Leaders' lack of action).

I can assure you that this is not a fake review! It’s sincere and honest. I don’t know anything about your experience with Leaders! But i speak from my own... and have found them to be diligent, informative and very supportive during an extremely stressful time. Please do not use my review to express your feelings. ...
