From the first phone call the whole team in the Bamber Bridge branch were excellent - professional, attentive and warm hearted making what is usually a stressful process much less painful. Thank you to Donna, Alison, Chris, Emma and Rebecca for all their help and support and anyone else from the branch that I did not personally interact with. You are all an amazing team and have much to be proud of x

Second sale with this agent.

This is the second house we have sold with Reeds Rains in 4 years and the service both times has been spot on. This second time was all rush but everything went smoothly and we got a sale in under 24hrs.

Completely garbage, I wish I could give a negative mark, fail company, never work with them.

Never response to ANY enquiry, they will only contact you when they need payment from you for work, they will never follow any instruction, they are never taking any responsibility.Long time in the industry only let them know how to forbid any responsibility that they need to take, you are always only on the loose end.Try them if you are brave enough, at your own risk.I am now suffering and waiting to terminate their service

Awful company

Awful company, very shady business practices and not compliant with rental laws. 0 communication by email and phone and a complete lack of understanding of what their obligations are.Do not use to rent, sell or any other type of property business. If a tenant you will not get your deposit back even though your landlord agrees to it without taking legal action against this company as they keep it for themselves. Shocking

Excellent customer service!!

So incredibly grateful that we have Alison Whiteside on our team. We had a really long, tough battle on our hands with many issues, however Alison was always on the other end of the phone to offer her help and reassurance. She fought our battles for us, she made us feel like we weren't a nuisance. I cant thank Alison at Reeds Rains Bamber Bridge enough. This is the lady you need on your team! Thank you, thank you, thank you!We are also thankful to Rebecca and Chris who we had the pleasure of dealing with on a few occasions. We would recommend them over and over again! x

Good luck if you have any issues in the house, they aren't coming

It's been months to get issues resolved in the house we are renting. Half of the time folks are on leave and no one picks up the maintenance requests. You have to keep emailing and calling to get things done. Very very poor service. If you have a choice to go with another property manager, please do. You will save yourselves a lot of headache and frustration.

Waste of Time

I used Reeds Rains to list my property, they were all singing and dancing with positivity but once I’d paid for ‘professional’ photography, I seemed to be forgotten about. (Photographer was rude too!) I didn’t get any viewings so was constantly chasing the office for updates. I had a friend put in an enquiry and they didn’t contact him for 10 days!!!!! Never answer their phones or emails. Was on the market for 4 months before I switched to another agency and the house was sold within a month. Staff clearly don’t care about the sale, more like they are incentivised to get the listing.

Useless

Do not use these incompetent con artists.Had our apartment ruined by a serious leak from the apartment they manage above us. After the building's management company sent out a plumber to turn off the water to stop the leak, Trudy in the Ballyhackamore branch told their tennant to just turn the water back on again. That was on Saturday morning, on Monday morning the building's management company plumber came back to repair the serious leak and was told to stop by the incompetent Trudy. Several hours, and the need to complain multiple times, later, as well as more buckets full of leaked water collected, finally the completely incompetent Trudy at the Ballyhackamore branch managed to get a plumber to come out and fix the leak. Now after many failed attempts to get the incompetent Trudy to provide their insurers details I have come to the conclusion that the only option is to take legal action against them to force them to give me the details of their insurers so that I can have my seriously damaged property repaired.If you let these incompetent imbeciles do anything for you in any capacity, be warned, you will end up in court facing significant costs just because of their gross stupidity and incompetence.

Do not take the full managment service

Whatever you do, DO NOT TAKE THE FULLY MANAGEMENT or RENT COLLECTION option. It is a totally useless service. The customer service is not helpful and your money basically stays in their account for up to 10 days. And if you ever want to leave you have to pay one month's rent plus VAT. This is something that the agent never explained to us, when we asked, "Can we leave at any time?" he said "yes", and obviously failed to explain "there is a big charge". They then put a lengthy agreement in front of you to sign , I signed it in the office whilst their staff sat in front of me not making me feel comfortable to read through. Yes my mistake for not reading the contract conditions, but you'd think the staff explain to you something as important as the exit fee. I didn't mind if the service was good, but we had issues since day 1 with them not setting up the direct debit correctly; therefore our rent was delayed. With no one to contact me to explain this is what happened, again no one explained that it would take up to 10 days for the money to reach your account! 10 days ?? So the money could sit in their account for up to 10 days, whilst they are making a profit off your money! I contacted the branch to ask why the money is not in my account, the Cleckheaton branch, the staff casually explained there has been an error setting up the direct debit and the tenant has made a payment on their card. I was told it'd take up to 5 days for the money to reach your account! I mean if the staff in their own branch don't know how many days it takes for the money to reach your account, how do they expect the clients to know this?? I was then advised to contact the Accounts, where the person on the phone was least helpful and rude, again I was told it'd take up to 5 days for the money to reach my account. I then wrote a complaint and explained my experience with the company has not been the best so far and now I'd like to leave, that's when I found out there is an exit fee. After writing so many complaints, I was offered a refund of the management fee for one month which is 10% of your rent (for being messed around, making so many phone call, being spoken to rudely, having the direct debit set up incorrectly, keeping your money for up to 10 days, basically adding to your stress ) Isn't it supposed to make your life easier? Isn't this the purpose of this "full service"? It gets better as the month after the tenant turns up at the branch to say he is due housing benefit, something that I wasn't aware of, and the rent is going to be delayed. Or it could be delayed! I received an email two days after the payment was due to inform me that the tenant has been to the branch to let them know of this new information. The rent was late again! You can see if you don't take this service at least you deal with the tenant directly and you don't have to wait and wait and wait for Reeds Rains to decide to contact you at their convince and to release the money after so long. They also kept £200 as emergency money, which I asked for it back! I wrote another complaint to Jamie Knights, Area Lettings Director , and after so long he wrote a lengthy email back saying he won't waive off the fee, and although he agrees the customer service has not been great and the branch manager is leaving so he is aware of some issues. I took my complaint further to Customer Relations, where they offered a refund of £120 and asked me to pay £500 something to pay to leave the contract, which I am not happy about. I am now going to take my complaint further to The Property Ombudsman. I just thought it'd be useful for any other landlord who wants to take the full management service to know what to expect since the staff in the branch can't be bothered to explain to you.
