GoogleI recently sold my city centre apartment with Reeds Rains Ormeau Road. Alan and the other staff were excellent throughout the whole process. Alan was always responsive, professional and friendly, and was very good in reassuring and offering advice during stressful times. I hope not to move again for a while, but when I do I will certainly use this estate agents' services once again!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism, Value
Thanks Michael for your feedback, we're glad your experience with our Ormeau Road branch was a good one! Best of luck for the future. Team RR.

If I could review this estate agents lower I would. I initially signed for a property in 2021 with a partner - they messed us around for weeks at a time and made the moving in process as stressful as possible which lead to them finally releasing the keys after office hours despite having a moving van waiting all day. Immediately after moving in we had to make a formal complaint due to having to wait over 8 weeks for acknowledgement on maintenance issues. Not something you want straight after moving into a property? Not to mention later going 3 days without heating or hot water in the height of winter.They shut us up by offering to pay compensation of £150 for the inconvenience.However, later in the tenancy the other tenant moved out leaving me, a single young woman, living alone. The landlord, an older gentleman, turned up to the property without notice several times. On one occasion, I granted access to the property for him to review some damp problems, whereby he made multiple inappropriate comments about how my tattoos would look better without my clothes on, and that I was safe going upstairs alone with him. A few days after this, he knocked on the door at circa 7pm at night asking me to go for drinks with him.Being a woman living alone, knowing that this man is aware of this and is in a position of power, I didn't speak out until the end of the tenancy.This landlord then decided to claim over £700 of damages from myself. Luckily, we used the Zero Deposit Guarantee scheme and so they disputed this on my behalf and over £500 of this claim was rejected. Leaving me to pay just under £185 which was settled at the end of 2023.However, over a year after the end of the tenancy, Reeds Rains has just contacted me stating that I owe them £22. A reminder this was paid in 2023, the year that the tenancy ended.I would never ever recommend anybody to use this estate agents, it's a law suit waiting to happen and they clearly don't care about the safety of their tenants from landlords taking advantage of their position nor do they communicate with each other at all and prefer to harass previous tenants.

TrustpilotReeds rain - Manchester - Sofia Shabhaz
I recently purchased a property and had absolutely outstanding support from their mortgage advisor, Sofia Shabhaz. She advised me through the purchase of one property being sold through Reeds Rain. This unfortunately feel through, but as part of their service they provided free mortgage advice for the purchase of another property which wasn't sold through Reeds Rain. Sofia was not only available and easy to contact but a pleasure to deal with and highly professional.

TrustpilotWorst estate agent in Liverpool!!
Worst estate agent in Liverpool!!! Avoid Reeds Rains Liverpool at all cost.Unethical , poor communication, unprofessional, very stressful. Avoid avoid, avoid.I flew in from Geneva after fixing two viewings, 301, 3 Kenyon Steps, L1 and The Strand, Liverpool L2.We waited in front of the property for more than an hour on 2nd Aug for 12pm viewing. One Abdul qadir was supposed to come to show us the property.Mr Justin Barton had confirmed the viewing on mail so we booked our air tickets.He did not show up, and after frequent calling Reed Rains we were told that he visited the concierge and returned. Holy hell..!!! Such fraudulent people. There was no confirmation or communication from either Reed Rains nor Abdul Qadir.Our precious time, money, hotel bookings ,all went for a toss.Thankyou Reed Rains for your callous behaviour. The properties listed never existed I suppose. So ultimately its your loss, not mine.

TrustpilotReeds Rains at Chapel House. Worst agent in the North East
Reeds Rains at Chapel House. We recently bought a house and these people were unfortunately the acting agent. The vendor wasn't happy with them and neither were we. What a rip -off. Talk about giving the industry a bad name. Charged us £60 to carry out an I.D. check when we were stood in their office with our official documents. No, we can't take a copy, you have to pay a fee and use our app!! So we paid under duress as we wanted the property. The app simply asked us to upload the documents. As if that made any difference as opposed to them photocopying or scanning them themselves. During the next six to eight weeks of the process, we never had one single phone call from them giving us any update. When we rang them close to completing on the purchase we were told they would ring us. They didn't!! I have dealt with other agents as an investor and for private purchases. These people are pathetic and a disgrace to the industry. Don't touch them with a bargepole. Useless!!

TrustpilotCarol is rude
Carol at the Ashton under lyne branch is lazy and rude. Couldn't really be bothered when viewing a house and was looking at me like I'm poor when I actually purchased outright with no mortgage. When I called the branch to put an offer on a house she took my offer then never called me back. I chased and she rudely laughed at me down the phone saying I wasn't in a position to purchase said house (how would she know this?) so I withdrew and bought another with home estate agents.

GoogleI worked with Reeds Rains in conjunction with iamsold auctioneers after having difficulty selling my house in the traditional way with another Estate Agent. Gráinne and indeed the whole team at Reeds Rains were a pleasure to work with. Everything was dealt with in a friendly, helpful, compassionate but still highly professional manner and they constantly kept me informed re progress I would highly recommend Reeds Rains as an Estate Agent. Indeed if I was to go through the process of selling again they would be the Estate Agents I would use.

TrustpilotReeds Rains Rhyl
The team in Rhyl were amazing. As first time buyers we didn’t have a clue on the processes and Derry explained everything and kept us up to date during the purchasing process. Matt was brilliant with his mortgage advice and made the mortgage process so much easier than we imagined. Would highly recommend to anyone buying or selling.
Thank you - I'll let Reeds Rains Rhyl know!

TrustpilotLook no more, Nicola, Craig and Dea are your people…
Sold our flat with Reeds Rains Estate Agents Plaistow. We had exceptional service from start to finish, thanks to Nicola, Craig and Dea. Their professional photos were taken immediately after we signed up with them, all of the viewings were handled professional.Nicola from Reeds Rains Estate Agent Plaistow has been excellent. She was professional throughout. She listened and acted to suggestions as well as providing advice and support. The real unique difference to other agents is she was always available working well beyond office hours as she really puts her heart and soul into her business. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to sell their home.

TrustpilotI strongly advise against using this…
I strongly advise against using this property management company. My experience with them has been nothing short of dreadful. I was constantly having to chase them for updates on the tenant eviction process. As of June 20th, I was told the matter was "under investigation." However, it wasn't until July 1st that I was finally informed the tenant had vacated the property, with rent paid through May 31st. In retrospect, this means my property sat vacant for an entire month with no notification from the agent. This is an absolute disaster and a complete dereliction of their duties as the property manager.The level of incompetence, lack of communication, and failure to keep me informed in a timely manner is unacceptable. This agent has provided the worst service I have ever encountered. I would caution any landlord against entrusting this company with the management of their rental property.

GoogleReed Rains Ormeau Road branch recently sold my property and made what can be a very stressful process extremely straight forward and stress free. Grainne was great with regular updates plus pushing the process on and Ethan was a pleasure to deal with. We also bought property through Reed Rains Carrackfergus branch and Lisa was also a pleasure to deal with. I have no issues recommending them for selling or buying,

TrustpilotWonderful! Really very helpful
You were really very helpful, listened & understood. Some agents just wanted to give a valuation without viewing our home and seriously undervalued what it was worth.The viewings were on time, you obviously know what you are doing as it sold in a week, quicker than we expected.All in all a very pleasant experience.Thanks, will recommend your professionalism to others.

Dealt with William Clayton upon vacating a property that had huge amounts of black mould all throughout. He argued back and forth when we tried to get our deposit back even though we left the property in perfect condition. We took videos before and after we left the property. Will never rent or buy a property with Prescot Reeds Rains again.

We take customer satisfaction very importantly and as such I would like to look into the issues further. Please could you email me at: enquiries@reedsrains.co.uk.

TrustpilotReeds Rains (Wilmslow branch) - disorganised and lacking in customer focus
I acted for a family member who had received awful service as a tenant through Reeds Rains (Wilmslow). After signing their agreement and prior to moving in, Reeds Rains allowed the Landlord to remove the sofa and armchair from the Lounge - despite the apartment being let as 'fully furnished'! Therefore the tenants purchased a leather sofa for £749. This was then donated to the landlord upon vacating the apartment. Despite this obvious gain for the landlord, Lavinia Cachon for Reeds Rains Wilmslow then found every excuse to not return the deposit. 17 weeks after the agreed Check Out report, Lavinia sent to the ex-tenants an unsubstantiated quotation from the landlord claiming £1075 in redecorating costs!Due to Lavinia's poor dealing with the landlord, the deposit was held back beyond the miserly 3 months from vacating which is the expiration of any 'protection' through mydeposits. Mydeposits then refused to raise a dispute!Only finally resolved (mostly) by a 'cry of help' to Director level.
Hi Andy,Were very sorry to hear about the experience your family member received regarding the deposit. This is an issue that has been raised with our property maintenance team, as they deal with all deposits. Regarding the furnishing, a landlord is able to remove any item before move in. From what I understand about this situation is that Lavina emailed the tenant regarding a dispute in September 2023 but didn't receive a reply till Jan 2024 meaning the tenant was out of their period to raise a dispute through mydeposits. I'm not sure why this email wasn't replied to for 5 months but this did have a contributing factor as to why your family member wasn't entitled to their deposit back. Regards,Reeds Rains

It was/is stressful and it took a long time to sell just over 20 weeks but it appears lots of properties took a very long time due to the way the market was/is. But the staff at Reeds Rains were so helpful always. I feel I can call them anytime and ask as many questions as needed . Thank you To stuart the manager . Hanna Lydia and Kerry Thank you all so very much
