Pretty on the outside, Vial to the core. Personally never met a more self-centered, rude bunch of people in my life. Little interest for anything apart from taking cash and putting it in their pocket. Stay well away, if you're looking for anything close to a genuine experience. I see you like to come back with ''we can't find your name on our system''. I can firmly assure you won't find my name on your system as I'd never use you if you were the last letting agent on Earth. Being kind is free.

Kiera and Ellie were both very professional and knowledgeable. From first meeting to discuss selling our property to handling viewings and completing on our property they kept us up to date with everything that was happening. We never had to chase for info or updates. Very happy with their service.

Hackney and Leigh have been absolutely fantastic from start to finish throughout the purchase of our first house. In particular, Ellie was brilliant. From the offer process through to sorting out issues with solicitors, Hackney and Leigh offered an extremely efficient service. Any queries by either email or phone were answered promptly in a friendly and professional manner.

Our house sale had a few issues which with the help of H & L were chased up when required and Ellie was aways there with a helping hand. I would thoroughly recommend using Hackney and Leigh in Kendal as an Estate Agent and can't sing their praises highly enough.

Hackney & Leigh - Kendal worked very efficiently, in a timely way and always very good at getting back promptly! Also very pro-active at picking up the phone and talking things through. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone for Sales or Lettings - we have experienced both!

I have sold many properties and every time have ended up frustrated by poor estate agents and aggrieved at their fee for doing very little. Not so on this occasion, Hackney and Leigh have been brilliant. They were prompt, helpful and courteous throughout the process. The property description was excellent and we had lots of viewings- which they managed for us, so we never had to be in or meet potential clients. We expected to have a protracted sale but they sold it effectively within 2 weeks. Can't recommend them highly enough and I'm almost sorry that I have nothing else to sell.

The Estate agents were easy to deal with, and quick to organise a tenancy. They were thorough in their inspection of the property. The only thing if I'm being fussy, was that the professional clean done before tenancy was not very good. This isn't really the fault of the estate agent though and more to do with the contractor. I had a problem with the floor and within a week it was dealt with and sorted. All good so far, would be happy to use them again.

Thank you to Elaine, Ellie and the sales team for their excellent service. It was their marketing expertise and experience which resulted in 6 viewings and a sale within 2 days of my house being advertised, and for over the asking price! They produced a high quality brochure for my house with lovely photographs. I highly recommend this professional and experienced team.

I chose Hackney & Leigh for the sale of my house because I purchased it through them 4 years previously under difficult circumstances, and will always be grateful to them for being so considerate and helpful.

By far the most attentive Estate agents i have used, friendly staff such as Ellie, that go above and beyond to help with queries/finding information out, and they even ring back when they say they will! I would definitely use them again in the future, many thanks H and L.

Critical: Responsiveness As I'm not a tenant of this agency I was clearly ignored by them having a problem with their contractors just before Xmas. Thank you for a "wonderful present" from you in the most suitable time.

Elaine and her team in Kendal could not have done more in difficult circumstances to make the sale of my mothers house as stress free as possible. While the service they gave us was totally professional, it was so much more than that and made us feel like we were real people, not just clients. I can not recommend them highly enough.

We'd happily recommend Hackney & Leigh for their friendliness, professionalism and caring attitude, as well as their knowledge of the local property scene. Elaine Bradshaw, Ellie Graham and Becky McIver were helpful and supportive and I'm sure we will use their services again.

Seriously can not fault any element of the service provided from the initial guidance on the market, consultation during the sales process, and liaison leading up to completion. Very professional, very knowledgeable, and very strong on communication across all members of the team. And all for a realistic fee. Would definitely recommend Hackney & Leigh.

We were on a holiday when we've got an email from an another agency which said we did not get the house that we've applied for, even tho we started the whole process 1,5 month ago. We were kinda in a panic, when we found a great let, from Hackney and Leigh, told them our situation and in just 2 weeks they sorted out everything, thank you for everything again!

My parents rented their property through Hackney & Leigh for a considerable number of years with myself taking over management 2 years ago. We've recently sold the property, however I cannot fault the way in which the Sales & Lettings team have conducted themselves. They have been sympathetic, supportive & efficient. Thank you all.

As a first time buyer I was not too clued up on how everything worked. Hackney & Leigh were fab. I can't thank Shannon enough for all the help/advice she provided me with. Always happy to help, professional and kept me in the loop of each stage. The service was brilliant. Would certainly deal with them again and recommend them too anyone buying a property.
