Terrible service from MS Morley. Andrew the Manager came to put our house on the market. Said a figure for it, we thought that was too high to which he promised that if our house was under valued he could fight it because ‘he sells loads of homes that come under valued and he uses variables of local houses to fight and win.’ House got under valued by 15%. No one couldn’t care about challenging the valuation. The after sales lady (who was the only decent person from this company) stated ‘they never challenge a valuation so I don’t know why they said that.’ We & and the buyer had to meet in the middle as we needed to act quick on our house sale in fear of losing our dream house. MS get their customers by lying. That’s what happened here. MS also over charged us, they charged their fee at the original selling price, not the price of the final sale. Complained to the Managing Director about the lies from Andrew and the over charge to which he denied both after an ‘investigation’ Took our complaint to the Ombudsman who decided in our favour and confirmed we had been over charged and agreed that the variables had never been challenged! Terrible customer service from day one, rude teams from branch up to top bosses. Never using again!

Really sorry to read this review, especially having now had the result of the Ombudsman review that made an award which was a fraction of what you claimed you were owed. In the end you achieved a price, once our team renegotiated with your buyer, of 96% of your asking price which still broke precedent for a house of that sort within the area. As a family owned and run business and whilst we don’t always get things exactly right we are always honest and straightforward in our approach. We are truly sorry if the service you received from Manning Stainton was not as expected but are satisfied that we can now draw a line under this. Wishing you all the best in your new home.

The worst agents in Leeds, Does not respond to emails, booking a viewing with them is such a waste of time. They make booking a viewing necessarily over complicated and difficult unlike other agencies who keep the process simple and straightforward. they ask you to fill forms after forms.. Ask you certain questions and say (we'll check with the landlord and get back to you).. LIARS!, they never get back to you. Some of their rental properties can remain their site and other sites zoopla despite being let agreed. Why mislead people for. Such incompetent and unreasonable fools!

Unfortunately the service seems to have gone downhill, even considering the difficulties of working in the current climate.

WARNING TO RENTERS: this estate agency will attempt to claim large fractions of your security deposit regardless of the condition of the property when you vacate. If you must rent through them, ensure you take detailed photos of every room including any and all dirt, damage or disrepair. Note each of these in your 'check-in report' and take a picture or a scan of it for your own records before returning it to the agency. If (when) the agency attempts to wrongly claim against you I strongly suggest creating a detailed dispute and submitting it to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme. The scheme awarded 70% of the deposit back to us after the agents attempted to claim 80% of our deposit with spurious justification.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Terrible company for renters. One of the rooms was covered in mold for a full year before it got fixed, and they only sorted it because we were moving out and they needed new renters. They even had the cheek to try charge us for it but refused to give a discount in rent when we proved it was their fault! (Vent was covered over). Like everyone else has already said they also tried to scam us with a bunch of false charges from our deposit too (£500 for a cleaner after we spent a full day cleaning? I don't think so!) Then they even tried to add more onto the bill after, absolute scam artists. Thankfully due to their incompetence they didn't secure our deposit properly so we got it back by threatening court action. They have no interest in the welfare of their tenants, avoid at all costs.

Either incompetent, or underhanded to the point of dishonesty; avoid if you possibly can. Check my other reviews, I'm a reasonable guy and don't say this lightly. After eighteen months as the perfect tenant, putting up with generally 'meh' contactibility and service from Manning Stainton by telling myself things were fine and I didn't need them anyway, the real problems began. After moving out, it took *eight weeks" to get a proposal to return my deposit. A proposal that didn't even reflect the condition this firm recorded in their own check out report. Not eight weeks to get the money; eight weeks to get a RESPONSE. Not sure they'd have been so quiet after eight weeks with no rent, but who knows? Evidently complicit in their landlords' tactics, if they bother responding at all they'll delay and delay with excuses about work (while the property is remarketed, of course) in hope that you'll be desperate enough to accept any deduction when it finally arrives. £10 to tighten a screw in a light switch! £40 to replace a £5 wardrobe bar with a slight dent! Charging for items you've raised as broken during the tenancy! They'll even connive with your landlord to try to screw you for cleaning charges after the property's been open for viewings for months, despite preparing a report showing it was clean when you left! Unless you fancy pursuing claims through the regulator to get back your own money, avoid.
