J B Leitch Reviews 

Unspeakably bad.

Thieves. As many many others have stated, they tried to extort £3000 from me for a county court judgement filed to steal my property from me for outstanding ground rent of £450 relating to invoices I never received.

Thankfully I play them at their own game and then they acted all surprised when I both copied in the local county court judge and forced them to disclose my ‘customer number’ and lo, it turns out it was an ‘admin error’ and all claims against me are ‘rescinded’. They are robbing and stealing from ordinary people using scams and manipulations and it is disgusting. Report to Solicitor Reg Authority. They are now also subject to a BBC One show investigation. Another filthy, thriving, corrupt robbing of the poor by the rich. Freehold literally exists for this kind of rubbish exploitation.

See the little thieves back down - photo attached.

My suggestion for you:

1. Contact the county court and explain in full what has happened.

2. Demand the thieves give you evidence of the letters they have sent you. This will include the ‘customer number’. Use this to

3. Finally force the hand of your ‘management agent’ - you should now be able to ask them what address info they hold on you. They will refuse to share this but demand to speak to a senior manager

4. Magically they will discover that they do have your real address and will drop all their crappy charges and set up a direct debit for payment in the future.

5. Then complain everywhere. They need to be struck off for being thieves and crooks.

Just saying :)

Completely useless, CUXTON (MEDWAY GATE) MANAGEMENT COMPANY LTD equally useless charging service charge for doing nothing. Had disagreement with them they passed my details J B Leitch. This is just cooperate day light robbery. Organization using the law to rob people BIG SHAME on you

Nasty company, runs by rodents and crooks.
Charged me thousands for their legal fee.
Those rodents will burn in hell.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with JBL Leitch. They charged me an exorbitant amount for service charges, legal fees, and even an administration fee just for collecting the service charge. The fees were excessive and felt completely unjustified for the level of service provided.

Their approach felt more like taking advantage of clients rather than providing genuine legal support – it felt as if they were just out to drain as much money as possible. I would strongly advise others to be cautious when dealing with them.

Absolute fkin cretins. They are part of a criminal property management racket. As crooked as they come.

Would give no stars.

Rude emails, rude staff. No professionalism. Don't get their facts rights on figures or have any empathy or compassion. Harass you with emails for payments. Add their owe made up frees. Need reporting and closing down

I don’t know how this company is still trading. The staff are beyond rude & the content of their letters are truly awful.
If anyone can recommend a good Solicitor in the Birmingham area please do- I am currently being threatened by them & in need of legal advice 😞

Had a lot of problems for over two year with FirstPort property services who then instructed JB Leitch to send me threading letters, claiming if I didn’t pay they would contact my mortgage company and have the amount added without my consent.

Their heavy handed bully tactics worked.

They then insisted/force me to not on pay FirstPort, but also JB Leitch for their services.

Horrible company I am glad to see the back of!

This is the worst company ever!

Threatening behaviour, unprofessional staff who just hang up when you challenge them and just generally come across as obnoxious. They send threatening letters, not in line with actual industry legislation and they try to panic you into paying them, by offering you discounted fees if you pay within 7 days. Their letters are poorly worded and threaten to “enter your home”.

Avoid at all costs and always seek proper legal advice before entering into any agreement with them.

My dispute was in regard to first port who never contact me back to set up a direct debit payment for a service charge.

Our solicitor paid jb leitch they have not paid e&m, poor service and obviously delaying payment so we cannot pay our ground rent on time. We had no communication from both solicitor or jbl that we owed any monies only found out when we tried to pay ground rent, we had been locked out of our account. We have sent a cheque to clear ground rent but it will probably be referred back to jbl for non payment no fault of our own they will just apply fees without your knowledge.

Update luckily managed to send our ground by cheque they confirm that no penalty would be added but will still not pay their client until Thursday imagine if we didn’t send payment for ground rent e&m jbl would apply more fees and penalties protect yourselves and cover every angle they don’t care cannot complete simple tasks one week to make a simple bank transfer I don’t think so.

One of the most unhelpful companies Ive ever dealt with. Regularly take 30+mins to answer the phone. One lady I was talking to actually hung up on me . I can not beleive there are companies this bad out there..

Absolutely conniving unscrupulous unprofessional shill ambulance-chasing shakedown outfit.
Fully incorporated agent in the FirstPort cash conveyor belt.
I would urge anyone with cause to be reading this review to take them on.
Reported them to the legal ombudsman for indefensible practices and operating outside the law they purport to uphold.
Utterly reprehensible outfit who shouldn’t be allowed to, er, practise.

Blood suckers! They lie! They cheat clients out of thousands of pounds. Stay well clear of this firm. We are checking to see if SRA can investigate this company and compensate us or barred them from business

I told them I am over 75 years old and making ends meet on my pension but they still charged me £303.00
in "legal fees" (one letter sent to myself) threatening another 3 to 5 thousand in fees if I did not pay a bill of
£419.00 which had already been settled 2 weeks prior.
They all should be totally ashamed and hopefully go out of bussines serving the public in this dreadful manner of fear mongering.Also they have a dreadful telephone manner. BEWARE and STEAR CLEAR.

Incredibly rude. While not a client, I regrettably had several telephone conversations with this business. Apart from one occasion, they spoke to me with rudeness and distain and when I was trying to obtain information they put the phone down on me; something I have never experienced with any other business. I will be reporting them to the Law Society for unprofessional conduct.

Absolutely vile attitude from the lady who claimed to be the manager who really needs to take a trip to a customer service course. They bully, mislead and absolutely lie about their practices and dare anyone ring to make enquiries and they insult and belittle you. What should have been a simple freehold purchase they turned into an equity release and wanted conveyance and solicitors to be instructed which would only increase their legal costs and delay the process. Completely incompetent and negligent. I’ve never experienced anything like it. Avoid like the plague!!

Terrible company, waited over a month for a response chasing contantly and finally got the response today and they didn't even respond to the query correctly. Waited over a month for an incorrect reponse.

Such a shame that dealing with a legal firm that such a case happens. Upshot - letter was sent on April 3rd and reached me on 11/4 - I was told to sort it out with royal mail and hung up the phone, this was when I questioned why it was so late and that they need to sort that out, esp as the letter was demanding money by the 13/4 - money which had already been paid this week. I was so shocked at the attitude of the female I spoke to so utterly unprofessional. I called back to speak to someone Snr - no reply as of yet. Shocking.

had to give 1 star would of given minus rude staff a woman called eliya just put phone down then called back and another woman was just being rude for no reason disgusting people

An absolutely disgusting company with no compassion or professionalism. I wish I could give them 0. They try to bully you with strong language. They need shutting down immediately.
