Very disappointing and exhausting experience when leaving our Headingley property.<br>We gave our required two months' notice and were told we could end sooner if they found a replacement tenant. During those discussions, we said we could return the keys on 14 September. This was a provisional date (never formally confirmed.)<br>We were then sent formal checkout instructions explicitly telling us to return our keys by 28 September. Naturally, we planned our move and cleaning around this.<br>On 16 September, I received a call at work saying we should already have returned the keys and that they needed them ASAP or we could face additional rent. This was initially presented as though we had become confused about the dates. Though, we had simply followed their instructions. They later admitted they had sent us the wrong date.<br>Despite their error, we rearranged everything to accommodate them. I left work early to clean and we returned the keys with around 24 hours' notice. We warned them that we might therefore not finish all the cleaning we had planned. They acknowledged this was a “last-minute change”, thanked us for our flexibility and said this would be considered during checkout.<br>They then attempted to deduct £126 for “light cleaning”.<br>When challenged, their responses were generally polite but often condescending, framing matters as though we were confused or didn't understand our duties rather than acknowledging their own error.<br>They eventually claimed we were liable because we had signed a document agreeing to vacate on 14 September. We asked them to provide it, as our copy contained no such agreement.<br>They took considerable time to respond and never produced it. Instead, they called me (again while at work) and tried to push a 50/50 split of the cleaning charge, despite still not providing the requested document.<br>I refused and again requested the supposed agreement in writing. Their response then came very quickly:<br>“There has been an error.”<br>Only then was the £126 cleaning charge removed in full.<br>We accepted the remainingdeductions, which we considered legitimate, and provided our bank details so this process could be concluded...<br>The following day, (today) after we had accepted their revised figures and supplied our bank details, we were suddenly informed that their accounts team had identified another £41.10 allegedly outstanding for an additional day's rent, increasing the deductions again to £190.<br>This is despite their accounts team having previously calculated and refunded our rent overpayment based on liability through 28 September – the same date their formal checkout instructions had told us to return the keys.<br>We have now disputed this latest addition too and have asked for supporting evidence of how they suddenly discovered this new charge at the last minute.<br>At the time of writing, we have not agreed to this new deduction and are awaiting their explanation, so I will update this review when they respond.<br>Frankly, Linley's conduct in this matter has been pathetic. We have repeatedly been made to feel that we made mistakes and then faced potential charges, only for errors on Linley's side to emerge when we checked the correspondence and insisted that claims were substantiated.<br>Had we simply trusted what we were initially told or accepted their 50/50 cleaning offer, we would have paid towards a charge they subsequently withdrew after admitting a documentation error.<br>We are fortunate not to urgently need our entire deposit back. Other tenants may be in a very different financial position and could feel pressured into accepting deductions or compromises simply to get the remainder returned.<br>My advice to prospective tenants is: keep every email, get everything in writing and insist on seeing evidence when you're told you've signed, agreed to or owe something.<br>Based on our experience so far, I could not recommend Linley & Simpson. I sincerely hope they learn from this.... Read more

Our experience with Linley & Simpson has been genuinely horrendous. We were left living with severe damp and mould for weeks, alongside a flea infestation despite having no pets. I have severe asthma and became so unwell in the property that I had to be blue-lighted to resus several times fighting for my life. Yet despite repeatedly contacting Linley & Simpson, we were ignored, belittled and left chasing for updates. I’m actually putting my medical records on here as proof, that’s how serious this has got.<br><br>Repairs took an unacceptable amount of time, leaving us without a usable kitchen and forcing us to pay for alternative accommodation ourselves. At no point did we feel that the seriousness of the situation was being taken remotely seriously.<br>We are young tenants, not nuisances. Having a safe, habitable home should be the absolute bare minimum. The lack of communication, urgency and basic consideration throughout this situation has been appalling. I would seriously think twice before renting through Linley & Simpson.... Read more

If I could rate this company 0 stars I would. I have never been so appalled by the neglect of a letting agency. The conditions of the property that they allowed us to move into were abysmal - containing mould, damp and pests (FLEAS) without intervention for weeks after reporting said issues. I witnessed my housemate be blue-lighted into resus and nearly dying due to having mould spores on her lungs from the house. Zero compensation, expedited remedial works or basic sympathy was given. The works carried out to repair the mould have taken months, in which time we were unable to use the kitchen/living room. Anyhoo, I urge anyone to find another letting agency and save yourself the stress.... Read more

Really good experience, Charlotte was really helpful taking us to properties that we weren't booked in to see after we had travelled to see other properties that were taken off the market on the day of our viewings - in the end we rented one of the extra properties that she showed us! The only negatives stopping this from being a 5-star review are: 1. I drove an hour for a viewing where the agent came with the wrong key and wasn't able to get the right key that day, meaning I had to drive an hour back without seeing a property and 2. then when I wanted to progress the application with that property I wasn't allowed to as I hadn't viewed it, meaning that before I could get a rearranged viewing, the property was taken off the market by someone else....

I am in serious dispute with these guys as I have noticed they take advantage of people. Their Streetlane branch did this to me, made me pay for painting a flat I lived for almost 2years because it had makeup stains on walls. I have just been told it's against the law because there should be fair wear and tear in an apartment.<br>They never want to release your deposit in full, they will look for reasons to take your money. I paid professional cleaners £300 to get the apartment in an immaculate condition but they came up with things that makes no sense. I don't care if its takes me a life time, I must get my deposit in full.... Read more

Extremely negative experience. This was the first agency I'd dealt with for renting since leaving university some 11 years prior, and it's nice to know that some things never change. Constant delays in actioning repairs and blaming it on other parties, multiple instances of people turning up to fix things that I either hadn't reported or had been fixed months prior, outright failing to pass on reports made in person during their overly frequent property inspections, generally slow and painful communications, and as the cherry on top, I strongly suspect they were advising the landlord (whilst I was literally present in the house) on the best ways avoid repaying as much deposit as possible. Again, it may be that all estate agents are still like this, but I'd genuinely strongly recommend against renting any property being dealt with by this company. Would be zero stars if that was an option. If it's any indication of how negative my experience was, I moved out over six months and I'm still genuinely furious about how awful my experience was with this company.... Read more

RENTER REVIEW: Completely unacceptable service. Serious issues like damp and mould were ignored, and a major leak from the upstairs toilet into my flat was left unresolved for about two weeks. After it was finally fixed, no cleaner was provided. I was also given misleading information about the pet policy — I was told they had checked with the landlord, but when I contacted the landlord directly, they confirmed no communication had been sent to them. If you want problems dealt with properly and honestly, look elsewhere. And no, I won't send you an email with more information, you have all the information here - stop acting like you can improve your service.... Read more

Avoid this agency at all costs.<br>Repairs are slow, cheap, and sometimes unsafe — and rent rises steeply every year. It’s also their apparent policy to deduct from your deposit for “cleaning” no matter what, even when the check-in report proves the property wasn’t professionally cleaned.<br><br>Throughout the tenancy, urgent repairs dragged on for days. When the boiler broke in mid-winter, we went without heating or hot water for several days. The contractors they sent damaged the hot water tank and took even longer to fix it.<br><br>Bathroom works were done to the lowest possible standard — tiles replaced with a plastic board that pooled water on the windowsill. When mould appeared due to a broken extractor fan (their own contractor said it needed replacing), they refused to act.<br><br>When the smoke alarm failed, we were told to ask a neighbour to remove it ourselves — something their own contractor later described as unsafe.<br><br>At the end of the tenancy, they tried to charge for “professional cleaning,” despite written evidence that the property was not professionally cleaned when we moved in. They ignored this completely, took over a week to respond to every email, and refused to discuss it reasonably.<br><br>I’ve attached photos of the areas they claimed needed to be “returned to a professional standard.” These are the same areas they previously accepted as "professionally cleaned" on move-in, despite them accepting the check-in report in which we stated this was not the case.<br><br>If you must rent through Linley & Simpson, prepare for long delays, low-quality maintenance, and endless deposit disputes.<br>And avoid dealing with Anastasiia — consistently rude, unhelpful, and painfully slow to respond....

From first meeting the agent from Linley & Simpson ,I have been most impressed with the level of service & attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble ,indeed they were very helpful even helping me to sort out my own purchase when I couldn't manage to ,due to my limited technology skills.<br>I did have my house up with another local agent before i changed to Linley & Simpson, but found that it was a disappointing experience overall. Within a few weeks of Linley & Simpson marketing my property , I had two offeres from people in a position to proceed.<br>I would definately recommend Linley & Simpson to anyone wishing to sell their property....

Rented a property for 3 years from linley. They (and the landlord) refused and ignored our reports about increasing mould in the property throughout the tenancy (only coming to look at it two weeks before the end of our tenancy).<br><br>Similarly, when we moved into the property the central heating was completely busted, we reported this regularly and it only took them a year and a half to come out and fix it! When I told them we wanted a slight reduction of 50 pounds for every continuing month without heating I was met with hostile attitudes and general arrogance from staff. Eventually they agreed to one month of reduced rent (of 50 quid) and came out to fix the heating. Once fixed it broke again instantly (the boiler was from the early 90's) and they just went back to ignoring our repair requests.<br><br>The cherry on top was the 300 pound cleaning charge at the end of our tenancy. In the deep clean invoice it clearly shows that the areas of the house that needed cleaning predated our tenancy (which we have photographic evidence of in the original inventory).<br><br>Their other excuse was that a deep clean was done on our arrival so must be done to bring it to the same standard (a lie I presume they tell everyone). On our first day at the property we spent more than 8 hours cleaning the rubbish and dirt of the previous tenants and it was clear that no professional cleaner had been anywhere near this property (once again evidenced in our inventory which they seem to just ignore).<br><br>So basically the moral of the tale is these guys will actively leech every penny from you then gaslight you when they are not fulfilling their duties and responsibilities. They will 100% protect the landlord over you and try demean you when you have valid claims that could inconvenience you.... Read more

Disappointing tenancy experience with Linley & Simpson<br>I was charged £144 for deep cleaning, even though I returned the flat clean and in the same condition I received it. Ebony Robinson, Daniela Diaz, and Trey provided information that was sometimes conflicting and unclear, which made resolving the issue frustrating. The way the situation was handled felt disorganised and confusing. Based on my experience, I would hesitate to rent through them again and suggest others consider this carefully before renting, especially if you want clear communication and fair treatment....

Try your best to avoid them. They are the most dishonest, disrespectful and unprofessional agents I have ever dealt with.<br><br>Extremely unprofessional experience. I scheduled a viewing two weeks in advance, was told multiple properties would be arranged, but only one was ever confirmed.<br><br>The day before the viewing, I was sent a last-minute text saying I must respond within 2 hours (by 12pm) or it would be cancelled — no formal email, no follow-up. I replied in the afternoon and even called the agent, who told me she would send the address. She never did.<br><br>I only found out the viewing was cancelled the next day when I called again. No explanation, no apology.<br><br>If this is how they treat people who are ready to view and rent, I can’t imagine how bad it gets after signing a contract.... Read more

Avoid renting with Linley and Simpson. Has leaking windows, windows that don't close, mould and damp for over a year and now no boiler. Everytine you chase them it's always "speaking to contractors" and then they won't let you exit the contract. Initially heard good things but will say highly avoid using them... Read more

I've recently completed on a sale via Linley & Simpson (L&S) and had a very good experience. Michael Davies managed our sale from start to finish and I was extremely impressed. After contacting several competitors including L&S, it was Michael's attention to detail and overall approach that led to me choosing them. Throughout the process he was very professional, had a great attention to detail, balanced view and positive, but realistic outlook.<br><br>We had a few ups and downs with our chain (not L&S or Michael's fault) and Michael dealt with this superbly, always keeping myself and our buyers informed and acting very proactively to help the chain move forward. I felt I could trust him in his handling of potential buyers, regardless of the situation. He also went over and above on many occasions: working late to get our property listed before a weekend, coming round on a Sunday and his day off to take more pictures of the garden and managing and conducting viewings on his annual leave.<br><br>The team around him (Ryan, Paige and Kieron) should also get mention as they also supported very well and again it felt very thorough in their approach.<br><br>Ultimately, we got our sale through and for the price we hoped to get following Michael's advice. This is in no small part down to him and I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending him and L&S - he is a credit to his profession.... Read more

Estate agents get a bad rep and having had to work with Linley and Simpson it's easy to see why. Vendor of house we bought used them so we were forced to work with them. While things significantly improved when the individual we were working with changed, their overall level of services was awful. I tried complaining but of course they shut up shop and told me I could go to the Ombudsman. It seems it's mainly landlords selling their properties that use this firm. I would encourage people to look elsewhere.... Read more

Really grateful for all of Ellie’s efforts in helping us sort out a new rental property just before Christmas! It’s been stressful trying to get sorted at such a busy time of year, but Ellie has made the process as easy as she could for us. We were having little luck in finding a property, but from meeting Ellie for the first time at the property, to paying the holding deposit, and another viewing in between, the whole process took just 6 days! Thanks again!... Read more
