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.

One of the key areas that we are heavily invested in is sustainability and our impact on the environment. We're proud to say we have been carbon neutral since 2022, reaching our target 8 years early. To achieve this, we have made many changes across the business with more to come. You can find out more about our environmental work over in our Sustainability Hub.

Thank you for the feedback
Amelia and Megan have been so very helpful, friendly and informative in helping us find new tenants for two of our properties. They both work very hard and deal with all aspects of the letting speedily and efficiently. Many thanks.
So far, a good experience with all the teams at Leaders Bournemouth. I would particularly like to thank Wiktoria who managed my property and who dealt with various issues promptly, and with a lovely friendly and confident manner.
I popped in the estate agents to enquire about another property. Beverley totally understood what I was looking for and helped me find my perfect house. Can't thank them enough.
