i have a leisure range cooker - had it 3 years and had nothing but trouble with it. Sorry.
They do look the part but are shoddy in my opinion. Needed a new oven door on mine (2nd time replaced in a year) and now waited over 3 months for part and it is still not here.

Have a good look around before committing

try gas on spares who are on the shenstone trading estate, off mucklows hill, halesowen, they have a website so you can get the full address but the cookers are cash and carry although they can arrange delivery at extra cost. what they don't know about cookers isn't worth knowing and they have a wide choice of range cookers.
the other place we use is the gas centre, haslucks green rd, shirley.
your cheapest option is probably the internet though. and you could try ebay as we recently installed a rangemaster for a customer and he'd bought it for a �100 off ebay.

Leisure was part of the Flavel brand, as was Rangemaster both were swallowed up by the AGA group before AGA sold Flavel Leisure off to Beko.

I repaired 2 Leisure range cookers this week, one was 10 years old and needed a new flame failure device (10 yrs is bloody good) and the other was a failed circulating fan on a duel fuel model, that model was 4 years old. apart from that we don't see that many broken ones, we may go 6 months or more now without seeing another.

if you ring gas on spares that i mentiond above they will advise you impartially. i can understand your concerns with beko owning them now as beko cookers are tat but the leisure ones are there attempt at a premium brand.
