This was my first time searching for and viewing rental properties on my own, so I was a little…read morenervous about the process. Within minutes of making an enquiry about a flat I liked, Tomas replied and arranged a viewing for me within a few days. He was very friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout the viewing. He also showed me other similar properties, gave me time to make a decision, and sent everything over quickly once I was ready to proceed with the contract. I'm extremely satisfied with the service I received from Tomas at Parklane Properties and would definitely consider using Parklane again in the future.

Connect Housing is a not for profit organisation in Leeds that is a founder member of Synergy…read more Their tag-line 'homes, communities, cultures' is a great insight into what they, as an organisation, are all about. Working alongside other organisations, Connect help support and regenerate housing. They help people find homes through buying or transferring, repair problems with homes, and encourage community activities.

After the oddity of our last house, my housemates and I wanted something entirely new - fresh,…read moreclean and most importantly young professional. We were now completely fed up with student style homes, with awful student style landlords and the poor service they offered. Enter: Park Crest Properties. As soon as we saw the website we felt we'd found a hidden gem, an exciting new mid-way between student life and young professional life. The website was easy to use, simple but classy and offered a great selection of houses and flats. Perfect. After choosing the one we desired (complete with little garden and 'cloud burst' shower head, oh yes!) we called to arrange an appointment. Our landlord-to-be (who is also also the estate agent) could not have been more efficient. He was punctual, informative and honest. After the viewing we signed up almost immediately - although it was a lot smaller than our previous home, it was lovely. It was the eye for detail (as it says on their website) that really made the difference, most especially in the bathroom - it was like some kind of luxury spa and extremely well looked after. Of course, you don't have a rented house without complaint, but anything we took issue with, our landlord was prompt in both communicating with us and acting on our problems. And once we had all decided to go our separate ways sorting out the bonds was, to my great relief, totally fine. We couldn't get them back until we sent proof that we had paid our final utilities, which I think is more than fair, and within the week of doing so we received our cheques with only a small deduction for some minor things. The entire experience was both professional and personal, and this is a lovely, understanding and efficient estate agents. I highly recommend!

What this means is that I have visited practically every estate agent in Leeds. On the occasion that I visited this one I was on a very tight schedule to find somewhere to live and probably came across as quite panicked and desperate. Lucky for me then that the guy in the office was brilliant and calming. At the time they didn't have any properties that were suitable, only because I had to move in three weeks and they didn't have any available that soon. Rather than just tell me to try somewhere else bless him the guy spent nearly an hour with me going through my options. Not only did he tell me where else to try but suggested a couple of places and pointed me in the right direction. He was also lovely in that he told me about a couple of areas in Leeds that I hadn't considered. Although somewhere to live was the main goal of my journey and that wasn't satisfied, he did give me lots of advice that was really valuable. http://beautytruthsnotuglylies.blogspot.com/

Please think twice before signing anything with them they're really out to get your money.

I searched 'flats in leeds' on our favourite search engine and they were the first to come up.

I made the call and like thier website, the reps I've spoken to have all been very efficient. Appointments are made, so we'll see if they're nice on the eye too. The flats, I mean.

We walked in and got taken to view houses in the area right away and decided we liked one which we are currently renting, having done internet research with other agents and seen horrid houses that looked nice online we had almost given up for the day! Prime properties are a bit out of the way and dont exactly advertise their presence so there were quite a few decent houses that hadnt yet been snapped up. The agent didn't really hard sell like other agents but then again that could just be because theyre not overly great at their jobs! Our landlord is amazing and will come round to atleast look at things on the same day since we realised that reporting stuff to Prime Properties wasn't getting passed on we just deal with the land lord now. We also got told recently there would be viewing but then noone has turned up. The agents don't have a key to the house which is nice as they can't just wander into your bedroom unanounced as previous letting agent Parklane Properties agents used to .. Overall, meh, they're okay and pretty reasonable to speak with in person, and if you can just deal straight with the land lord then you don't really need them other than paying rent and notice for house viewings.
