The history of Leaders
Founded in 1983 by the late Neville Lee OBE, Leaders began as a single branch in Brighton. Since then, the company has become known for its first-class customer service and exceptional knowledge of the property market and local area.
Rapid expansion throughout the South of England meant Leaders quickly celebrated its 25th and 50th branch openings – and by acquiring reputable businesses up and down the country, the team at Leaders has now brought its expertise and customer service to new towns and cities across the UK.

Review for Leaders in Northampton I cannot recommend Leaders in Northampton enough, especially thanks to the incredible support and dedication of Lillian. From the very first interaction, her friendliness and professionalism stood out, making what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and enjoyable. Lillian truly went above and beyond to help us find our new home. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and ensured that every option she presented aligned perfectly with our needs. She was always available to answer questions, guide us through the process, and offer advice when needed. Her patience, commitment, and attention to detail made a world of difference. It’s rare to find someone so genuinely dedicated to helping their clients, and we are so grateful for her support. If you’re looking for a new home in Northampton, I highly recommend reaching out to Leaders—you’ll be in great hands with Lillian!
Tess has shown good quality of professionalism from the start and the support provided have been really helpful to secure the property.
I am a landlord. Holly Sizmur and Jamiel Robinson-Beckford have been managing my property - very pleased with their communication with me, their responsiveness to my queries as well as general management of the property. They make me feel at ease and confident that the property is in good hands and all is under control; when signing up with the letting agency, all I asked was that I had no headaches at all and all was taken care of, and so far it has been the case, thanks to them.
Brilliant service
Great experience with Leaders and especially Miles. From great communication over the phone and consistent engagement through Email he has been efficient and very professional!
(Translated by Google) Recently, with the help of my agent, Mr. Jake Stearne, I quickly found a room with affordable price, convenient transportation and complete decoration and facilities! He is always able to help me as quickly as possible when I have questions, and I am very grateful for his efforts! I think if I need it later, I will definitely ask them for help!
