What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Leaders Letting & Estate Agents in Portsmouth earns consistent praise across letting, sales and property management work. Named consultants feature prominently in feedback: Joe Mayle is described as professional and responsive during a letting, while Reginald Ngoshi is thanked by renters for patience at viewings and for answering questions fully. Joel receives credit for persistent follow-up until a family secured a suitable home, and Kelsie Beever is noted for guiding a purchase with clear communication throughout. Reviewers also value the wider office, mentioning calls returned and messages passed on as promised.

On the sales side, one account recalls a property going to auction and attracting 29 viewings before selling swiftly, with the valuation landing close to the final price; the agency's links to an auction house and a solicitor for conveyancing are said to have eased the process. Landlords single out Michelle Gillespie of property management for handling requests efficiently and maintaining standards on a rental. Recent tenants describe renting as pleasant, straightforward and well supported, with a tone of genuine appreciation rather than mere satisfaction. The recurring thread is staff who stay engaged long after the initial enquiry, particularly in lettings and property management.

In finding of the house and coming into the house the team was very helpful. However, my tenancy has now concluded, and we are currently addressing the process for the refund of my security deposit. There has been minimal, and I would even venture to say no, communication regarding this matter. Therefore, this lack of communication is the sole negative feedback I would provide concerning this letting agency.

Michelle Gillespie from Property Management, we were very appreciative for her help and support. She was always very professional in her approach to all our requests and complaints and carried the requests efficiently and appropriately ,sometimes going above and beyond in order to get the job done. Which resulted in keeping our property up to standard . Thank you Michelle.

We couldn’t recommend Isabelle enough! As first-time buyers, we were understandably quite nervous and had lots of questions, but from the moment Isabelle showed us around the property, she was so lovely, friendly and down to earth. She immediately put us at ease, answered our (many) questions and made the whole experience feel so much less daunting. What really stood out to us was how helpful she was even after the viewing. She contacted us multiple times afterwards to answer our questions and, if she didn’t know the answer herself, she went away and found out for us. We ended up falling in love with the property and have now gone on to buy it, which makes our first viewing with Isabelle even more special! She was incredibly helpful, approachable and genuinely made us feel comfortable throughout. Thank you so much, Isabelle, for making such an important and exciting step in our lives that little bit easier. We really appreciate it! 🥰🏡

Leaders helped me through my property search and they made the whole process very seamless and comfortable and they were in touch the whole time giving timely updates. Joe Mayle was a really big help and I’d recommend them for any property related issues.

It was a journey and an experience, Leaders are with me all the way, they kept following up on me until I was able to secure a good and desire home. My special thanks to Joel, he played a very good role in making this happen. Leaders can be trusted
