Linley & Simpson Reviews 

Kirk Marriott acted in a professional manner and kept me up to date with regards finding a home for my tenant. Many thanks Kirk!!!!

Very helpful kind and understanding worked with me to fill application ect highly recommend

Our experience was amazing. Our issue was resolved immediately. Very happy with Linley and Simpson and their team especially Kirsty Walker

I was under exceptional time pressure to secure a rental property, at the right price, in the right location prior to starting a job in the Wetherby area. Rebecca, Hannah, and the Linley & Simpson team were outstanding in facilitating this process. Even going the extra mile to contact me at the weekend in order to expedite matters. Moreover, they have not stopped supporting me once the contract was signed, if anything the level of support has increased. I would strongly recommend this firm to anyone seeking to rent a property in the Wetherby area.

I had a very positive experience renting this property any maintenance issues were addressed promptly and communication with the agency was professional and efficient .. special thanks to Emily abbot . I would recommend this property to future tenants.. Thank you so much..

We’ve been looking for a flat in York and was assisted by Laura at Linley & Simpson. She has been very helpful from the beginning of our search, with viewings through to finding the right property and having an offer accepted. She continues to go out of her way to support us with the purchase. Thank you Laura

I've had an excellent experience with Georgia at Linley & Simpson's Ilkley office. She responds to queries quickly and efficiently, and found tenants for my property in no time. Communication was prompt and hassle-free throughout. Highly recommended.

I've been with Linley for over 3 years now, and they're always quick to help with any repairs. This time I had a big kitchen sink leak. An engineer came the next day, and everything was fixed within a week. James from the maintenance team gave excellent support and service.

I've been trying seven years to get an extra mattress (not mine, was left over when the bed was replaced) removed from my bedroom, were it was just sat taking up space. I had contacted Linley & Simpson on multiple occasions asking them to remove it to no avail. With a flat inspection upcoming, I asked Tamsyn Leopold if she could sort it, and lo and behold she actually did! Can't believe it's actually finally gone.

So thank you Tamsyn. Only downside is I now need to clean behind it ...

Really happy with the service from the team …always professional, understanding, and quick to help whenever needed. The staff are proactive, communicate well, and work hard to resolve any issues efficiently. A pleasure to deal with Liam who went beyond and above to get things sorted for us.

The email correspondence is timley and helpul. the lady that attended the viewing was very very exceptional. she explained every detail and was very friendly.

From the start of the process with David Reeves valueing my property, to accepting an offer with Kieran Smith managing my sale, i have been kept fully up to date with progress. Kieran has made sure I have been informed of any viewings with plenty of notice, has informed me of feedback and has been very approachable and responsive throughout. I would definately recommend Linley and Simpson, and Kieran Smith to manage your sale.

Great communication and service from the team at York

Used this company for a number of years now. Exceptional service. Just dealt with Kirk Marriott regarding my new tenancy set up and he couldn’t do enough for me.

Perfect service and prompt response

Great service. Got the job done and made the process easy.

Tamsyn has been an absolute star. Dealing with our enquiries swiftly and efficiently. Thank you!

(Review for the Wetherby branch)

Rebecca Tyler was absolutely amazing in the viewing. She was so personable, informative & reassuring.

Hannah Stewart dealt with our calls & ensured that the move was quick and easy. I asked copious amounts of questions to which she was entirely reassuring to answer & always had the answer!

Would highly recommend this branch.

We rented with Linley and Simpson for two and a half years, and they were often slow to fix issues. They had a portal for reporting repairs, and would usually respond to the initial report within a day or two, but only to ask if we’d tried an obvious fix. They would then take longer to respond to any subsequent messages.

Our experience was typified by a few examples.

Firstly, our boiler frequently lost pressure. We reported the issue, and were asked if we had tried repressurising it ourselves (despite making clear in the report that the issue was the fact we had to do this daily). Eventually, they sent someone round who told us that he could partially fix it but it would need a new control panel for a permanent solution. A month later the boiler fully broke down, leaving us without hot water or heating for 6 days in January. L&S sent someone round the day after we reported this, who advised a new control panel would be needed. We rang L&S 3 times to ask when this would be fixed, before they put in touch with the landlord directly. 3 days after this, someone was sent to repair it. 2 days later, L&S sent us a follow up asking if the problem had been sorted.

We enquired about a partial rent refund for this period, and were told we’d need to submit a written request to put to the landlord. We did this, and chased several times, but never got a landlord response. We asked about it as part of the deposit return and were advised to chase it separately. We did, and never received a response from L&S.

We also had several issues with our washing machine, which was tucked in a kitchen cupboard and was therefore difficult to access the back of ourselves. This broke in early December, and we submitted a report to L&S. They asked if we had tried draining it and cleaning the filter, which we had (and said so in our report). We didn’t receive a further response for a week, so chased and were told they had deprioritised it as it was the run up to Christmas. We rang 3 times after Christmas, and they eventually sent an engineer to fix it (some of our clothes had got caught in a pipe at the back). It broke again a month later, and we reported it. This time it was fixed within a week but we were charged £50 for the call out, as it was the same problem. The invoice was issued to us within an hour of the problem being fixed, marking an impressive improvement in efficiency.

Some other issues were dealt with more quickly (overpayment in rent returned, leak in the bathroom and allowing us to replace a broken bed ourselves), but others were also fairly slow (e.g. a couple of months to sort some damp in the kitchen).

The end of tenancy and deposit return was dealt with efficiently, with some small deductions - £65 for cleaning (we’d paid a separate company for a professional clean but they’d missed a few spots) and £85 to remove a sofa we left.

Overall we often felt frustrated and let down by the service provided, and wouldn’t recommend renting with Linley & Simpson.

Brilliant service throughout.
Huge thanks to Eva, Molly, Laura and the rest of the team who answered many of our questions throughout the buying process.
A really stressful process made a lot lighter by the transparency and helpful communication from Eva and the team.
Lizzie and I were extremely pleased and it felt like everyone pulled in the same direction to get things over the line.
Huge thanks to Laura for making sure our exchange got pushed through on a Friday evening too, which relieved us of plenty of stress too.
Many thanks!
Max and Lizzie
