“Worst letting agency”

★☆☆☆☆

written by GarimaVashisht on 15/03/2024

Linley and Simpsons provide the worst service as a letting agency. I have rented an apartment from them since I moved to UK. None of the amenities they provided worked well. Not even the basic facilities were working. My bathroom had severe blockages, heaters not working, dim lights etc. It took them 3 weeks to repair these, that too not get perfectly. Then I also found that my washing machine was also not working. I reported the company about it but they never did anything. So, now I don't even have the basic facilities inside the apartment given by Linley and Simpsons. A very poor experience with their services. Will never recommend it to anyone. And the worst thing is that they don't even reply to the mails. Too much disappointment with them.

“I was delayed moving into my flat as they were sending...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by aalouee on 13/12/2023

I was delayed moving into my flat as they were sending in cleaners (the flat had been empty for a month). I got in and there was still black mould on the walls. The mould worsened during my 3 years there to the point where I couldn't use one of the rooms, my belongings were damaged and I had to have surgery to fix a chronic infection that could not heal in this environment. This was reported many times and, aside from 1 proper visit, was treated by asking me to put damp catchers up (which i already did) and painting over it with damp paint. Various times I was expected to pay for plumping and property maintenance because it was an emergency and their plumber hadn't been available. Upon leaving the property i cleaned and scrubbed and left only a small amount of regular wear and tear (from the 3 years I was there). I painted and cleaned up the mould. This was in July. It is not December and I have still not received my deposit back as they are claiming I owe them £110 in cleaning charges. No receipts will be provided and the neighbours to the flat have confirmed no cleaning was undertaken. This is a greedy parasitic company and I will never recommend anyone go through them. Oh, and if you want receipts from my end don't worry I have pictures and screenshots of the full thing.

“Unprofessional ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by ehGray312 on 16/10/2023

Hi everyone I rented a apartment through Linley and simpsons who only take redpksibiloty to collect rent and put you into arrears if you don't pay for the service they offer which is all about collecting rent. But when your living in misery in the apartment they're charging you for. They say it's not our fault it's all the block management's fault who they pay to do nothing. It's nearly 4months I'm stuck in this building on 3rd floor. I'm disabled my 2 family members have died and I haven't been able to go their funerals. Yet after paying them for yhe first 2months I now refuse to pay anymore rent for being locked in and feeling miserable. I want to end my life. And all I hear is pay our rent. Their greed is stressing me and I'm going go out of this building in a body bag. Then whose going pay you Linley simpson and landlord.? I'm paying you nothing and I'm finding people as we speak who are also going hold you accountable for the misery you've caused many people.

“DO NOT RENT FROM THESE MERCHANTS”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Aidey1 on 21/08/2023

DO NOT RENT FROM Linley & Simpson! I paid for a professional end of tenancy clean (have several videos for anyone wishing to see), and they dishonestly claimed that it wasn't good enough and tried to charge me £90 to wipe (THEIR WORD!) the ensuite shower!! My cleaner and I were astounded yet my cleaner arranged to pick up the keys again and go address it if indeed it DID need cleaning again. Linley And Simpson only gave them the front door key and not the fob to the building so my cleaner had a totally wasted journey and afternoon where she could have been doing other work. She called and emailed them saying she needed the fob, and go zero reply. When she managed to speak to someone she had to arrange to go in on yet another day. And STILL they tried to fleece me for £90! They also previously charged me to 'WIPE' - not clean, or mend, but to WIPE a door handle!!! Parts of the carpet were also decimated by carpet moths. (This is the SECOND property I've rented from them that has had a carpet moth infestation!) I reported this to Linley And Simpson and the guy they sent did little more than hang a few bags of lavender around the apartment and a few 'smoke bombs' which didn't kill them all. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM! I have rented for a total of 20 years in my life and never ever encountered anyone as appalling as Linley And Simpson estate agents in Wakefield. In addition to the above I had to pay for additional water charges that were caused as a direct result of a leaking toilet in the property. This should clearly be the landlords responsibility and yet I had to pay Yorkshire Water and Linley & Simpson just totally ignore me every time I email regarding this issue. Absolutely appalling. AVOID AVOID AVOID!
