Zenko City Living Leeds: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Zenko city living in Leeds are great, and particularly Matt is a great agent-very committed.
Fantastic experience: Through the long- and at times trying- process of selling my apartment, Ian was absolutely fantastic. He gave great advice, was kind, relentlessly positive and generally went above and beyond at every stage. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Zenko to anyone looking to sell, and they bring great experience and insight into apartment sales in particular- a brilliant service from start to finish.
Fantastic experience: A seamless experience viewing and getting a rental. Martin was very helpful showing me around the flat and guiding through the move-in process.
Fantastic experience: Really smooth process renting from start to close. Martin was great with the viewing and screening all quickly and easily done. Really happy and would reccomend.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Zenko Properties has been fantastic and without question the best I have encountered with an estate agency. From the outset, the team demonstrated a genuine commitment to finding the right rental property for us in Leeds, rather than simply securing tenants and moving on. Jonathan guided us through several properties, showcasing his in-depth knowledge of the local area. His transparency was particularly appreciated, including his honest advice regarding neighbourhood characteristics, such as areas that may be noisier in the evenings. During the referencing process, we encountered complications with the referencing company. Martin and Holly were proactive and persistent in liaising on our behalf, ensuring the matter was resolved as efficiently as possible. Their communication and dedication throughout this period were greatly appreciated. We have now been living in the property for over six months, and on the occasions where maintenance issues have arisen, the service has continued to exceed expectations. In particular, Matt K has been highly responsive and proactive in coordinating repairs and ensuring that matters are resolved swiftly. Unlike previous experiences with other agencies, reporting a concern to Zenko has been straightforward and reassuring. Responses are typically received within a matter of hours, and issues are addressed promptly and effectively rather than being left unresolved with "we're looking into it".
Fantastic experience: Great experience renting through Zenko City Living. Martin was very professional and helpful throughout the process. The whole process was smooth and professional from start to finish. Communication was clear and everything was handled efficiently. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service! Professional, smooth communication, and very competitive pricing. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience with Zenko properties. Martin was very helpful and professional from viewing property to moving in. I highly recommend their services
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Zenko! Our property manager Olivia has been amazing for us so far. Always has the answers to my many questions and overall has been incredibly helpful. Martin was the one who initially showed me the property and managed to make his schedule work with my viewing availability. Showed me all around the property and stayed in contact after to keep me updated. Top company with some great people!
Fantastic experience: Great service, amazing staff at Zenko Properties. Olivia was really helpful with sorting out my lost parking permit and keeping me updated at every stage. She made the whole process quick and stress free. Really appreciate all her help, thank you!
Fantastic experience: Very good service and reliable. Freya is very kind and helpful while viewing multiple apartments at the same time. So many options and choices for different kinds of flats.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service with Martin and team at Zenko, booked a viewing on Tuesday night, saw property by Wednesday, had gone through all hoops and had a contract by the Friday. Great selection of properties and can't thank the guys enough!
Fantastic experience: Have been a tenant of Zenko for over a year now. Always treat us with respect and try to resolve issues as quickly as possible
Fantastic experience: Pretty good letting agency; properties are generally nice and clean and they're very responsive with maintenance and other requests. We receive communication from their agent Freya about inspections and other news regarding the apartment/building and it's always been timely!
Fantastic experience: Zenko have been great letting agents throughout my tenancy. The whole process from viewing to renting was smooth and straightforward, and the team genuinely went above and beyond to get everything sorted. I was on a tight timeline, yet they still managed to get me moved in within a week, which I really appreciated. Like with any move, there were a few issues along the way, but the team handled everything professionally and kept me updated throughout. Massive kudos to the whole team for their patience, responsiveness, and persistence. I’m terrible with names so can’t list everyone individually, but every person I dealt with was helpful and supportive. What really stood out is how personal the experience felt. As a small independent business, they make you feel like an actual person rather than just another number like with larger letting companies. Overall a very positive experience and I’d happily recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Zenko have taken over managing my property and they have been professional, timely and responsive throughout. They advised on local market trends and managed a refurb for the property sourcing quotes and sending photos of the work in progress. The team have successfully listed the property, making changes through the process and now it is let out.
Fantastic experience: I recently completed the purchase of my first home in Leeds city centre, and Zenko were fantastic to deal with throughout the entire process. Ian handled my purchase and was always quick, approachable, and helpful in answering any questions I had. I never felt under any pressure during viewings and even after completion, Ian has continued to be responsive and keen to help with any questions about my new home. As a first-time buyer, this support has been genuinely appreciated. Thank you Zenko!
Fantastic experience: I have received a wonderful experience with Zenko properties. Mr.Matt Kendrick assisted me to complete all the formalities and helped me a lot.Really appreciate Thank you Zenko properties and Mr.Matt.
Fantastic experience: I recently ended my tenancy at 8th Dec and dealt with Matt Kendrick and Aleksandra Gerasimovic from Zenko Properties. The whole move-out process was incredibly smooth and efficient! Matt and Alex was very responsive – they replied quickly to all my queries and handled all the administrative matters super fast. After I handed back the keys, the checkout inspection and all procedures were completed the very next day. I didn’t have to wait a full week like with some other agents; within just a few days, I received my full deposit back in its entirety, with no deductions needed. Highly recommend Zenko Properties and especially Matt Kendrick for his excellent support throughout!
Fantastic experience: We recently bought a house through Zenko and Ian the agent couldn't have been more helpful and patient with our first time buyer questions. He often provided advice way beyond his remit that helped alleviate any anxieties we had with the process. I would highly recommend.
Negative experience: I had a disappointing experience with Zenko Properties after moving out. They tried to charge me for issues that were clearly listed as pre-existing on the inventory, as well as unnecessary cleaning costs even though the flat was professionally cleaned. Only when I challenged the charges did they remove some of them. I also explained my financial struggles and mental health difficulties, but they still insisted on unreasonable deductions. I took the case to the deposit protection scheme and won, with the final amount reduced to £150 from an initial £350. If you find yourself in a similar situation, definitely appeal.
Hi Abrar
We wanted to acknowledge your review, and your disappointment.
The arbitration of bond deductions is not a precise science and we always endeavour to be fair in our approach.
Sadly, it is not always possible to reach an amicable agreement and so we rely on third party arbitration to make the final decision, which we are legally obliged to accept.
We take your comments on board and wish you all the best for the future.
Tobias
Managing Director
Fantastic experience: I’m happy with my experience using Zenko Properties to get my first flat in the UK. Martin and Matt were so supported us from start to finish. They are nice and professional. I'm highly recommend Zenko Properties!
Fantastic experience: Awesome letting agent! The property manager Matt K is always very friendly and always respond to my queries quickly. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Zenko helped me transition from another agent in Leeds, providing a high level of expertise, professionalism and transparency throughout the process.
Fantastic experience: I’m really happy with my experience using Zenko Properties to get my flat. Freya and Martin were amazing from start to finish — genuinely kind, understanding, and incredibly helpful. They supported us through a really difficult situation and made the whole process so much easier. What really stood out was that they even called after the first month to check in and make sure everything was okay and to see if we needed anything. That level of care is rare and really appreciated. I honestly couldn’t have asked for better people to deal with. Highly recommend Zenko Properties!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great experience with Zenko Properties. The team has been very helpful and responsive, and everything in my apartment has been well looked after. I’d especially like to mention Freya for her friendly communication and support — she has been wonderful to deal with. Thank you to everyone who has helped me!
Fantastic experience: We have used a few agencies in Leeds recently and Zenko have always followed up, communicated clearly and everyone we met was professional and friendly. I will definitely be using them again and highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: If you have a property to rent in Leeds, I recommend you speak to Zenko. I have engaged them over the past three years and I’m very happy with their service.
Fantastic experience: Zenko have been great, I was new to Leeds and they made the viewing and process of renting a flat very easy. All my interactions with staff were very positive from the viewing to picking up the keys :)
Fantastic experience: It has been absolutely amazing to rent from Zenko City Living, thanks to the outstanding support from Martin and Alex. Both of them were incredibly responsive - even outside regular working hours - and made sure everything with the apartment was sorted quickly and smoothly. Their service was professional, friendly, and truly above expectations. They helped me secure an excellent apartment with a high standard, and the whole process felt easy and stress-free.
Fantastic experience: They are really friendly, helpful, kind and I’m really happy with their services and renting the house.
Fantastic experience: I am a tenant for the property of theirs. The overall experience of me working with Zenko is very nice. The people who work there are amazing, special thanks to Freya and Aleksandra for helping me with the whole process. The apartment was in good nick and every little detail that went wrong or broke was fixed/changed in a matter of days.
Fantastic experience: I recently worked with Ian regarding the sale of my 2 apartment in Leeds. I have had a lot of bad experiences in the past with estate agents, but I must say he was a cut above of the rest. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and has great communication skills. I am very thankful for his assistance over the past few months.
Fantastic experience: I recently had a viewing with Ian and previously with Martin from Zenko. After several viewings elsewhere with different agencies, I have to say both these gentlemen have really stood out in their industry. I really appreciated how professional, knowledgeable and personable they were - it’s been refreshing to speak to people who know what they are talking about whilst doing it with gusto. Straight talking, no manipulation tactics and genuinely helpful. Whilst I didn’t take anything this time, I wouldn’t hesitate to rent with Zenko in the future.
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Ian from Zenko when purchasing our first flat in Leeds. Ian went above and beyond, was attentive, calm and friendly, and helped us out with all the little things you might miss as a first-time buyer! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I recently sold my flat in Leeds City Centre with Ian from Zenko, and he was fantastic throughout the whole process. From the start, Ian really knew his stuff about the Leeds City Centre market. He kept me updated at every stage, was always quick to respond, and made the whole experience a lot less stressful than it definitely could have been!. His advice was spot on and I ended up getting a great result. If you’re selling in Leeds, I’d definitely recommend Ian / Jonathan at Zenko.
Fantastic experience: A huge thank you to all the team at Zenko for getting the sale of my property over the line. It wasn't an easy process and at times seemed almost impossible but thanks to the positivity, hard work and persistence of the guys, especially Ian, we got there in the end and I will be forever grateful!
Fantastic experience: Thank you to everyone at Zenko, specifically Ian and Jonathon, I purchased a flat in Leeds and their service was brilliant - very proactive with communicating with the seller/getting info I needed for my purchase and local knowledge which is obviously super helpful! Very kind, responsive and accommodating people, thank you!
Fantastic experience: Can recommend Ian and the team at Zenko for selling an apartment in the city centre. Very knowledgable of the local market.
Fantastic experience: We had a really tough time trying to sell our apartment – the first sale fell through and our previous agent was not getting buyers through the door. Then, after chatting with a neighbour who had a great experience renting with Zenko, we decided to give them a go. From the moment we met Ian Darley, we felt confident. He was professional, knowledgeable and never pushy; genuinely helpful and focused on getting results. Incredibly, our flat sold in three days! The aftercare was brilliant too. Ian and Jonathan kept everything running smoothly with regular contact, taking away so much of the stress of buying and selling. . We really cannot recommend Zenko highly enough. If you are thinking about selling your home, do not hesitate to contact them - you will be in excellent hands.
Fantastic experience: As a new landlord, there’s a lot to take in and it can feel overwhelming at times. Having the right managing agent makes all the difference, and the guidance provided by Zenko has been invaluable. Zenko communicate clearly and have a straightforward approach. Whether by email, call, or text, the team at Zenko are transparent, quick to respond, and always willing to explain things when needed. Throughout I’ve felt informed and confident that everything was being handled properly and on time. Ensuring my tenants are well looked after is paramount to me, and I have confidence through Zenko that the property is in safe hands. Overall, I’ve been very happy with their service and would recommend them as a trusted partner for property management and look forward to continuing to work with them.
Fantastic experience: I found their lettings team super friendly and proactive. When I called interested in one property they were quick to find FOUR that suited my needs that could all be seen within a one hour visit. The viewings are all within walking distance of the office, I was shown around by Martin who was not only knowledgeable about all the properties but pointed all the cultural sights of Leeds as we passed them and things he knew would be important to me such as distance from my workplace and transport links. Overall I really valued their honesty and straightforwardness, you don't always get that with letting agents. There is metered street parking outside the office but space may be limited during the daytime as the office is in city centre.
Negative experience: A very indifferent and irresponsible intermediary, one of the spotlights in our bathroom didn't light up when we reported it for repair, but no one responded. After reporting it again, Zenko staff said that the broken bulb was our responsibility, and I really don't know how to blame us for damaging a spotlight embedded in the ceiling.
Fantastic experience: Really great, well managed agency. I called them up looking for properties and I had viewings booked the same day. Really nice people to speak to on the phone, and maintained clear communication throughout the process.
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Zenko. Although we didn’t go for a property with them, Martin gave us loads of advice and helpful tips on renting in Leeds as well as showing us some lovely homes. I highly recommend Zenko
Fantastic experience: I recently had a viewing for a house with Martin from Zenko. Both my friend and I were impressed with how helpful and friendly he was, and considerate of our needs. Although we didn’t end up choosing the property we had such a good viewing experience we would definitely recommend. Freya was also lovely and friendly over the phone. Thanks for making a stressful time house-hunting easier!
Fantastic experience: I had a house viewing with Zenko properties, the agent was very helpful. The whole process was very easy and the overall experience was positive.
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Zenko, agents Martin & Alex who worked the extra mile to help find us a property in a building we both really loved after an initial viewing had gone before we could secure it.
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Zenko – Martin and Aleksandra were both so friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. Everything was really speedy and well organised, and communication was always quick and clear. They’ve got a great system in place for things like reporting maintenance and switching utilities, which made the whole move-in process super straightforward. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: The estate agent was really knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I didn't get the property as it went to a couple so I was a little gutted - but that was the landlords decision. Regardless, I would still highly recommend this estate agent.
Fantastic experience: We recently had the pleasure of coming across Zenko lettings during our search for a new flat, and couldn’t be more grateful for the outstanding service we received. From the very beginning, the team was kind, helpful, and quick. They took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and were consistently responsive throughout our search until we found a home we loved and moved into the following month! Massive thanks to Martin for the enthusiastic & informative flat viewing, Alex for always being quick to help, and Faye whose approachable manner all made the process super quick and easy. We had a genuinely positive experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Zenko to anyone looking for a new home :)
Fantastic experience: Zenko took over management of the block from a much less satisfactory Leeds agent, who bungled the change-over and created problems for the sitting tenants. Zenko dealt with this legacy patiently and efficiently, and the service improved straight away. I would particularly commend Martin Beaumont and Faye Batty for their helpfulness.
Fantastic experience: I've had a great experience with Zenko Lettings, they've been really helpful throughout the whole process, and I'm so happy with my new flat! Everything was handled smoothly and professionally, and I always felt well-supported. A big thank you to Martin, Alex, and Emily for all your help – really appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Very efficient and streamlined moving in process whilst maintaining professionalism. Martin, who showed us the flat explained everything clearly and went into good detail, whilst being approachable and friendly.
Fantastic experience: We dealt with Ian during our search for properties in Leeds. Ian's approach was very professional, informative and reliable. He was very friendly and offered us a range of great properties to view based on our own preferences and budget. He would personally check in with us to see how we were getting on which we appreciated. I would highly recommend Ian and Zenko to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Great estate agents. I bought my flat through them and now rent it out via them. Always had great service from Ian, Martin and the team. Friendly, communicative and I trust them to look after my property!
Fantastic experience: Ian and Zenko were great throughout the purchasing process. Very communicative and extremely helpful in chasing the solicitors on both sides to ensure a quick sale. Can’t recommend enough.
Fantastic experience: I have recently let my property out with Zenko and Ian and his team have been really fantastic. The entire process has been very smooth - from the initial valuation onto viewings… All with excellent communication throughout. They were also able to recommended competitively priced contractors to help with the required compliance/certification aspects. A big thank you for such great service!
Fantastic experience: As first time buyers who recently purchased a home through Ian at Zenko, we found him to be lovely and helpful and happy to answer any and all questions and queries we had. Would definintely recommend.
Fantastic experience: We have dealt with Jonathan before and are delighted to be dealing with his company again. Both the landlord and tenant get first class service and excellent attention to detail
Fantastic experience: Very Good letting experience!! My partner and I only got a few months to look for a new apartment in Leeds. And Zenko property had a quick response to our enquiry, did their best to keep everything on track and we could able to move in before Christmas. Thank you for their service and we recommend Zenko property to our friends too!!
Thank you, we hope you are still enjoying the place.
Negative experience: If you’re renting then completely stay away from this company, I moved into a property and was not informed I’d have to be doing viewings almost immediately after moving in, Ian would try and enter without knocking, would always leave lights on in the property if I was out at work and one time turned up to a viewing without prior consent which is illegal. I never caused any issues in the property and I was accommodating to viewings even though I did not have to be, however when it came to me moving out and my new letting agents tried to get a reference, Zenko told them ‘they have no idea who I am and nor do they manage my property’ this meant I had to go down the route of a guarantor which luckily I was in a position to do. Definitely a completely unprofessional agency and would avoid at all costs.
Hi Isabelle
We have reflected on your review and gathered the facts from our team, particularly Martin and Ian, who dealt with you personally.
Whilst we fully respect your right to leave your comments on this forum, we must take issue with your comments;
-the apartment had been on the market for some months at the point at which you moved in and we are certain that we advised you that it would be for sale during your tenancy.
-we follow a very strict code of conduct around viewings and always endeavour to follow that. We can see that on one occasion, a viewer requested to move their morning viewing to the afternoon, which you kindly accommodated.
-we accept that on one occasion, a bathroom light was left on after a viewing- we apologised for this at the time.
-we have had a look back at our system notes regarding your new tenancy and can see no record of such comments to another agent. I can see that we offered to provide a landlords reference in an email sent to you on 29th November to which you replied on 12th December saying that you had already organised a guarantor.
We very much regret that you were dissatisfied with the service you received, and we always endeavour to learn from such scenarios where appropriate.
Fantastic experience: An absolutely brilliant and very professional lettings agency! I recently moved houses and while in my search, I came across a property at Leeds Dock that I was very interested in. I got in touch with an agent called Aleksandra who was very professional in her approach to my queries, scheduled a viewing straight away and directed me to her colleague Myah who conducted the viewing and provided all the explanations as well as answered my queries, demonstrating professionalism and knowledge of the area/apartment/my needs. Furthermore, my property manager Emily, has been an absolute pleasure to work with and is a true professional. Apart from being super quick with the key handover to myself, Emily has answered every question that I threw at her as well as went above and beyond fixing an issue with a key that I had. All in all, I am extremely satisfied with the approach that Zenko Properties has had towards my house search and move. Thank you for being absolutely brilliant to work with! I will be directing my circle to yourselves in the event of them looking to rent in the Leeds area.
Thank you for the feedback, we are glad the team could be of assistance
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Zenko to all looking for a place to call home in Leeds From the start and throughout they have been informative, helpful, and responsive We were able to view our flat at times convenient for us, as they are centrally located in the city. Martin is friendly, and warm, with great knowledge of the area and the properties themselves. He's also an excellent liaison to the landlords, and was happy to assist with any queries we had regarding specific properties. The process was efficient and quick, utilising digital systems, and within a week of viewing we had our keys! Since then, we've been in our flat a few months, and the team at Zenko have been just as attentive. Faye, our property manager, has been very communicative and swiftly responsive to the (little) snags we've had. Any minor repairs or detailing have been promptly sorted, such as a dishwasher wheel that spun loose. In a city where it can feel easy to be lost as a tenant, Zenko have stepped up and made us feel seen, welcomed, and maintained.
Fantastic experience: Received excellent service from Martin @ Zenko. From the initial contact when renting one of their advertised flats, moving to the UK from abroad to moving out. I can only recommend them; friendly, helpful and always very accommodating. Thank you
Positive experience: I had a great experience purchasing a property through Zenko Property. The team was professional, supportive, and made the process smooth and straightforward. Highly recommend their services!
Negative experience: Be very careful dealing with this agent. They will find the smallest things including wear and tear to take your whole deposit when you decide to move out. Also, after posting this review I received an email from a managing director threatning me with legal proceedings for writing a review online. I could not recommend this agent any less. Stay away from them.
Hi Frantisek,
You don't seem to mention in this review the £7,000 of damages caused to the property due to you having multiple pets without approval of the landlords and you are unhappy because we claimed the full deposit back which is worth about a 7th of the cost of works? We also had the Tenancy deposit scheme's impartial adjudicator vote the deposit in our favour.
We have only followed the professional procedures in place by checking the property at the end of tenancy against your check in report and inventory.
We tried to contact you offline to discuss properly and you could have called us or emailed back, as I was happy to discuss with you on anything we can do to improve our service.
You've also now changed your review as the initial review was defamation of trade against Zenko, quoting initial that we stole your deposit and lied, which isn't the case.
If you want to call us to discuss further, I am still happy to do so or if you want to discuss with us how you are going to pay the difference to our landlord as hes currently close to £6,000 out of pocket from you.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Zenko. They have been great at managing my property. Ian has found suitable tenants, dealt with maintenance issues and had excellent communication over the past 2 years. Zenko managing my property allows me to travel without any worries. When problems arise, Zenko solve them promptly. Amazing service!
Fantastic experience: am a first time buyer and Ian at Zenko Properties helped me along the process amazingly. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better, he was always on hand to answer questions and explain in detail all the steps of purchase, from first showing me the property to completion.
Fantastic experience: Martin Bowman is an exceptional top man and a gem in Zenko properties! His strengths include excellent communication, in-depth market knowledge, Time consciousness while during our viewing sessions and a genuine passion for helping clients achieve their goals. We felt supported throughout the entire process and appreciated Martin Bowman's honesty and transparency. Highly recommend!" 5/5 stars
Fantastic experience: We have dealt with Ian at Zenko for the last few years and always found him to be friendly, professional and informative. He made the letting of our apartment in Leeds really easy and his continued support with this is invaluable. His exceptional market knowledge combined with his client management skills has always resulted in a positive experience for us. We would highly recommend Zenko and in particular, Ian.
Fantastic experience: These guys have been brilliant at sorting out my rental flat. Sorted out repairs and then found a tenant promptly. Can’t recommend them enough . This was following some poor experience with another agency who did very little for us. Ian Darley has been a star
Fantastic experience: Big thank you to Ian at Zenko properties for making my selling experience so great. He was prompt to reply and guided me through the entire process. We sold my flat within 2 weeks and his communication with viewer feedback was great. I had previous enquiries with other estate agents in leeds and am so glad with my decision to go with Zenko. I’d recommend them to all friends and family looking to sell in the Leeds area, for making a stressful process as pain free as possible. Thanks again Ian
Fantastic experience: Ian is the type of guy you want to be working with on a purchase. Seen a few properties with him before. Gives you all the info, good and bad -- then let's you make up your own mind. There will always be complexities in a purchase. One of the main issues we had was slow links between all parties involved, after a quick call to Ian things would get moving - he has good relationships with management companies, solicitors, seller and buyer. Sale genuinely wouldn't have moved the way it did without him. Also he is just a sound guy If you are working with zenko try and get Ian! Thanks again
Fantastic experience: I've dealt with Zenko on several fronts over the years and cannot recommend them highly enough. I purchased a property through them, and several years later rented it out. They are knowledgable, attentive and highly professional.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service from start to finish selling our flat - Ian and the team did an amazing job with the listing, with an offer in under 2 days. Continued support through the sales process, helping us and our buyer keep pushing solicitors and management company to keep things moving despite some hurdles. Easily my best experience with estate agents in Leeds! Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Great Agency. The staff has always been super friendly and helpful. I bought a property with them and if it was not for the huge help from Ian (who went above and beyond to support both the seller and I), I am not sure the purchase would have concluded successfully.
Fantastic experience: I recently moved into a property managed by Zenko Property, and the experience has been fantastic. From the very start, the process was smooth and hassle-free. The team was responsive, professional, and made sure I had everything I needed for a stress-free move-in. Special thanks to Caitlyn Oakes and Aleksandra Gerasimovic for their outstanding support throughout the process. They went above and beyond to address any concerns, making the transition even easier. The property itself was clean and well-maintained, They’ve also been great at keeping communication. Overall, I’ve been really happy with the service and highly recommend Zenko Property for anyone looking for a professional, friendly, and reliable property management team. Thank you to the team for making this such a smooth transition!
Fantastic experience: Moved into a new flat after a viewing with Martin, the fantastic team are responsive and passionate about finding the right flat for tenants, and provide strong and regular communications. A great agency, which I would recommend to others.
Fantastic experience: We have had the pleasure of working with Jacqui this year, whose team offers exceptional service. I would highly recommend Jacqui and Zenko to both landlords and tenants alike.
Fantastic experience: We recently used Zenko for purchase of a flat in Leeds. Ian was great to deal with and readily available for our queries. Compared to some of the larger agents in Leeds, service was much more efficient, reliable and more personal. Thanks Ian.
Fantastic experience: We recently sold a property through Zenco properties - Leeds. Ian was very professional ,efficient and helpful. We were kept fully up to date with the progress of the sale and it was a pleasure to deal with Ian and this company.
Fantastic experience: As a company we receive a first class service from Zenko Properties for all our property leasing and sale needs. They are a diligent and dedicated team of individuals.
Fantastic experience: I have worked closely with Jacqui for nearly 20 years, always efficient and professional. Jacqui has recently joined Zenko and I am pleased to be able to continue to work with her as she and her colleagues grow the business.
Fantastic experience: Having use Zenko on numerous occasions, These are with out question one of the best agents in Leeds. The staff are extremely helpful and go above and beyond to make sure your happy, Nothing is to much trouble, for these guys Jobs are sorted quickly and without fuss Thank you
Fantastic experience: We recently sold our house through Ian at Zenko. He made the process really straightforward from start to finish. The photographs of the house looked brilliant. We had lots of viewings, which Ian kept us up to date with, and ended up with three offers. His insight and honesty were really appreciated and we felt in safe hands. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Ian and his team at Zenko properties were a pleasure to work with. For a small independent estate agents they pulled out all the stops when arranging my initial viewings (s - managed to get two in this market!) and helped coordinate initial offers on my beautiful home I am now living in. He was always polite yet professional and nothing was too big or too small when I made general enquiries after my survey were completed. Thank you so much for the service and for facilitating me professionally and smoothly into my beautiful new home!
Fantastic experience: Zenko has been fantastic to work with! They were professional, responsive, and made the entire process easy and stress-free. I felt well-supported and confident throughout. Aleksandra in particular has been amazing. Highly recommend!
Negative experience: I am one of multiple tenants who have complained at how appalling Zenko Properties are as a lettings agent. I lived in Park Residence for 1 year and not only have they attempted to deduct over a third of my deposit, they were horrendous to deal with during my living term. Not only was the flat given to us in an unclean state, we made certain it was deep cleaned to a high standard before moving out. We were then left with a very large cleaning bill because of the ‘smell’… When challenging this the sheer attitude and inconsistent communication was appalling. Multiple maintenance issues were never followed up across the 12 month period. Broken door handles, incorrectly fitted skirting boards, cupboards falling off, broken toilet seat etc. Their communication feels dishonest, inconsistent and seriously lacking in professionalism. Avoid at all costs, save your money and go through a more reputable and trustworthy agent!
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of being looked after by Zenko properties in Leeds, and to say I was impressed is an understatement. From our first interaction I knew I was in the best hands possible. They listened to my needs and concerns and ensured everything was addressed from the get go, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. I found the staff all honest, reliable, knowledgeable and transparent and could not recommend them enough.
Thank you Nadia for your review. I'm glad you had a great experience renting from us and we wish you all the best for the future!
Fantastic experience: Tobias has managed my investment property for many years. He is reliable and fast thinking. Always a step ahead, he ensures everyone is well taken care of and communicates with both parties seamlessly and thoroughly. I trust his implicitly with any decision he makes in my absence. I highly recommend Zenko Properties, They are the best property management company in Leeds.
Thank you Adam. All the best !
Fantastic experience: Tobias and his team have been excellent. I currently live in Australia and have left my property under the management of Zenko. They are efficient and on the ball, this makes it a pleasure to work with them, especially with the times differences etc. So much industry knowledge too which helped me a lot. Highly recommend.
Thank you! We appreciate the review
Negative experience: Seen other people have had similar experiences to when me and my partner rented with these lot (tenancy ended earlier this year). Always paid rent on time. We were given the flat in a rough state; floor was sticky (me and my Dad spent time cleaning it) , a broken toilet roll holder and broken bed frame. At the end of the tenancy I was even nice enough to agree to the cheek of a cleaning charge (we spent hrs cleaning) but this was a mistake, as once they had this in writing they sent back a revised cleaning charge at triple the cost !! All for some dust that had settled over a week after we had left the flat. Luckily I had taken photos the day of moving and their own inventory was full of mistakes, so once this was pointed out they reverted back to the original cleaning charge anyway! Hence this is a well deserved 1*, I would not ‘recommend’ to a friend. Probably going to reply to this review and say there is no record of me renting here. We know what you’re doing and it’s not slick. If you put as much thought into your customer service as you did your ever so amazing 5* reviews maybe you wouldn’t have so many people leaving negative feedback, ey. Do better.
Hello Will and Emma,
Thank you for taking the team to leave your feedback here. We're genuinely sorry that you have had cause to do so.

We wish you all the best for the future and look forward to catching up by phone next week.

Negative experience: AVOID. Rented for a year and not a nice letting company to deal with at the end of tenancy. Flat in poor condition when we got it - broken bed frame, ripped lampshade, broken toilet holder (these are only a few examples). Tried to triple our cleaning cost for dust that had settled a week after the end of tenancy and moving out. Received a call 10 minutes before about a viewing for the flat which we consented to, then letting agent never turned up or informed us of cancellation. Tried to ring up and no answer, we nearly missed an appointment because of this. It was very unprofessional. I would advise avoiding renting with Zenko.

Fantastic experience: Martin and the other members of the Zenko team were always very responsive, professional, and efficient - certainly the best letting agency we've dealt with. Whenever maintenance issues popped up or anything like this, they were always promptly sorted out.
Thank you for the review Chris!
Negative experience: AVOID!!! Zenko is an agency that will make false promises, won't do any work and when you move out will attempt to rob you of your deposit! They kept promising to fix a lot of things in the building but have done nothing but talk. For example, the building we live in has been robbed 5 times and every time the promised to look into the security, but they never did. After we have decided to move out they tried to take all of our deposit for a bunch of random work we have nothing to do with (e.g. repainting ceiling in the whole flat, removing towel rail?!). They also charged a ridiculously high cleaning fee for a flat that we spend many hours cleaning every inch of it. After calling this out, they would ignore all of the questions or any of the evidence I sent. Once I sent all the evidence to the deposit protection agency, soon they agreed to settle for 50% of the deposit. They also asked me to remove this review as part of the settlement.
Thank you for your feedback, Justinas. As you know, we are working with you to find a resolution, following the TDS (deposit scheme) guidelines.
We are a highly reputable, fully regulated agency and are bound by legal requirements on multiple levels-we would respectfully request that you refrain from suggesting that we are dishonest or that we have 'stolen' any money.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Zenco Properties has been excellent. I've been living in a flat managed by them for four years, and they have always been very friendly and professional since I moved in. Martin and his team are very polite, willing to assist, and attentive to any issues that arise with the flat, always resolving anything quickly. I'm very happy to have been a client of Zenco Properties for those years I was living in Wakefield.
Thank you Gerson, we loved having you too.
Fantastic experience: Stayed in places under their management for three years and they were very pleasant to work with. Martin was always easy to reach and was accommodating when they needed to do viewings. Would recommend if you’re looking into renting.
Thank you Ali for your lovely message. We hope to cross paths again in the future
Fantastic experience: Zenko were very helpful in helping me find my first flat. Since moving in, they have been very efficient in fixing any isssues and have been very quick with correspondence.
Hi Joel, Thank you for leaving us this kind 5 star review. All the best, Team Zenko!
Fantastic experience: Had a couple of issues when first moving into my flat, but have all been resolved with the help of the lovely Alex Foster at Zenko! Nothing seems to be to big of an issue for her and she is always on hand to help with any issues, queries or concerns we have. Thanks again Alex & Zenko properties!
Hi Kieran, Thank you for the 5 star review, we are happy that Alex has been a lot of help for you! All The best, Team Zenko.
