Contractors and Tenants - AVOID THEM!
This is a long one, sorry. We've both done work for tenanted properties through RR and been tenants of theirs. Warnings on both sides.Contractors: Don't work for Head Office! It took us 10 weeks to get £30 payment for a job our company did for them. They struggle to get local tradesmen and end up having to subcontract through nationwide groups. If you do any work for them, try to deal directly with the homeowners. Tenants: Avoid like the plague. We were tenants for nearly five years, we had a good relationship with the landlady and made sure that anything that needed doing was either done by us or reported to her, and we looked after the property. When we were given our eviction notice due to the landlady wanting to sell (in the middle of a pandemic...) there was nothing on the rental market available so we had to jump through multiple burning hoops to try and get a mortgage, which we were finally successful in doing. We completed and moved in the middle of our final month but retained the keys for a week to complete a full property clean, and we were told to hand the keys back on the 1st of the following month (as the last day of the month was on a Sunday). From then, we had the utmost struggle with Reeds Rains Head Office. They charged us for one day of holding the keys (having told us to hand them back that day) but didn't tell us up front otherwise we would have handed them back earlier. They also finally decided to charge us £40 to clean the windows (this took them nearly a month to decide...)We initially agreed to the window cleaning charge but disputed the 'rent arrears', but Head Office are so ridiculously bad at communication, they pretended to listen to us, 'agreed' to talk to the landlady or supervisors and then never called us back when they said they would. We'd chase them multiple times and they'd finally come back without having even bothered to do what they said they would. We never received confirmation that the window cleaning was done, nor a receipt for that, and to this date (nearly five months down the line) the property has been sold and no tradesmen have been in there, so we have paid for a service that was never done.We tried to raise a dispute with mydeposits but in their infinite incompetence, Reeds Rains only put half my maiden name on the original tenancy agreement and deposit certificate, and despite us getting them to rectify this immediately, it has now come back to haunt us. Mydeposits won't accept the dispute unless I provide evidence of my name change (marriage certificate etc) which I can obviously provide, but not with the incorrect name originally on the deposit certificate...I've given up. Reeds Rains do not give a damn about tenants or supporting them, they are merely a money-making machine and only look out for themselves. Head Office staff are shockingly bad at communication and the whole experience means we are extremely glad we're out of the renting game and certainly sure to avoid them like the plague in the future. We don't owe them any further money than what was withheld from our original deposit and even now I feel physically sick whenever I see an e-mail come in from them or mydeposits.Thankfully it was only a small amount in the grand scheme of things. I can't imagine what it would be like trying to claw thousands of pounds back from them. Five months of trying to fight and I'm willing to admit I just can't do it any more. I'm exhausted, fed up of the stress and I can't bring myself to waste any more of my time on this, so congratulations Reeds Rains. You win. Enjoy your £120.Edit in response to reply: you believe we've 'come to a solution'?! Where did you come up with that? You can't even be bothered to reply to e-mails or phone calls, you just ignore us! Don't try and make yourselves look better by lying.
Hello - I'm sorry you have not been pleased with the service you've received from Reeds Rains. Customer service is of paramount importance to us. We believe that you have been in touch with our departments regarding the issues you have raised and have agreed to a solution.Kind regards,Reeds Rains

Excellent!
Excellent!! Jane (Reddish branch) managed to find me some great tenants for a newly renovated house in Manchester. The photos were taken to an excellent standard and Jane created me a short list of great applicants and then ultimately found the best tenants within a couple of weeks. I’m really pleased with the outcome. Will definitely use again 😁

5/5
Honestly can't rate Reed Rains, their lettings team in particular, high enough! Charlotte and Kelly have been fabulous with helping me over the past year 14 months, answering any questions I have promptly and professionally. Especially in the beginning when I was in a difficult place and trying to find somewhere to live quickly. Always there when you need them and I love the new system of being able to log problems rather than having to ring in or email etc, saves lots of time for everyone. I was really apprehensive when turning to renting a property as I haven't done this before, I can't tell you how much Kelly and Charlotte have put my mind at ease and given me the confidence in them that I needed. Thank you so much team :+)PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave my team a fabulous review, thanks Jennie Regards Charlotte

Shocking from store in Prescot and management from head office
Shocking from store, the regional and then there boss Sold using Prescot Can’t communicate and lied asked for staff to not deal with it as we lost trust and faith and thought they were incapable at doing there job roll. Paid for full epc sent me certificates but old one they never replaced it till I told them, Attitude is bad never them always someone else’s fault Got told by regional on phone and email the only one dealing with the house was the manager wasn’t true and left with no communication and original team were thought was ok dealing with again and told me to bring keys in even though we haven’t sold and told us it’s not our house and we’re not insured so as you can imagine being in work and getting told you don’t have your house ain’t great and then the attitude she’s right I’m wrong had pay solicitor to deal with her. Rang the manager not his issue he’s moved Regional never replies Resulted in ceo complaint - he investigated but missed large chunks out to protect his friend the regional manager Then hides away/ then on holiday This is just some of the issues we have dealt with but the list is a lot longer would give a zero if I could

As you are aware, your complaint is currently being dealt with by our customer complaints team who will come back to you with a response as soon as they are able to.Kind regards,Reeds Rains

Private tenants AVOID ! BULLIES
Private tenants AVOID !! Never in my life have I felt intimated by a company until my dealings with reeds rains. Absolute bullies. Staff are disgustingly rude. ( Apart from Ellie, I think she is the only one who seems to have undergone any customer service training ) One lady just turned up at my house with a front door key and told me shes coming in to inspect, I asked for half an hour as I was in an important phone call. She told me that doesnt matter, she needs to come in she isnt waiting half an hour and she has a key so WILL be coming in. Alls I was asking was for a bit of time to re arrange my phone call they cant even respect that. She was made up to exert her power that she had a key for my house and was coming in. Hope that made you feel good you horrible woman. House was dirty and an overflowing bin in the living room on my 1st day, therefore caked in flies each window was a graveyard of dead flys. Oven thick with grease. (Despite being told this was being professionally cleaned before I will get the keys) I was told any maintenance issues, reeds rains sends someone to complete then charge landlord. No I sent an email with some maintenance issues and got a section 21 back! They want the house back. Landlords friend came and did some odd jobs after a long while. Not the service I was sold.
Hello Chelsea - Thank you for your review and bringing this to our attention which we were aware of on the day of the routine visit via a phone call with yourself. Historically we have also assisted with various queries for yourself over the phone and been able to resolve these in a professional and timely manner. Our process as an estate agent and by legal requirement is that we are instructed on behalf of the landlord to ensure that routine inspections are carried out and performed within a timely manner throughout the tenancy to ensure their property is being kept in acceptable condition. This visit also allows for any maintenance issues to be reported/pointed out by the tenant so we can take the necessary steps moving forward. Our routine visit assistant is on time constraints to conduct the routine visits in a timely manner and does hold all management keys for our fully managed stock, therefore if a tenant advises we can gain access on keys we have that option. All routine visits are given notice via email/letter which we can confirm was delivered to the email address we have on file and have received emails from on the same email address following this notification. As we are instructed by the landlord, if they have chosen to provide you with a Section 21 we will issue this on their behalf. In regards to our routine visit assistant, she has a proven track record of providing exceptional customer service to all our customers whether this be tenants, landlords, buyers, or vendors and this is the first occasion that a situation like this has occurred and this feedback has been dealt with internally. If you have any further questions or queries following our response, I would be more than happy to discuss this with you further, please email: st_helens@reedsrains.co.ukKind regards,Reeds Rains - St Helens

I expressed an interest in a rental …
I expressed an interest in a rental property in Bradford, dealt with the Reeds Rains Office in Halifax. Olivia L was the Lettings Negotiator for the property, Olivia from introductions to picking up of the keys has been extremely informative and helpful with the rental process. Checks on potential tenants is thorough, my concern is how much vetting of landlords and the condition of properties they let are carried out by Reeds Rains before Reeds Rains consider the property suitable to let?
Hello - I'm sorry you have not been pleased with the service you've received from Reeds Rains. We hope that we have rectified the issue since your review. We have since spoken to the landlord and have agreed any future properties we list with him will be finished to a higher standard.Kind regards,Reeds Rains - Halifax

Use someone else
Reeds Rains appointed a solicitor for my buyers to use, for which Reeds Rains will receive commission. The solicitor has deliberately held up proceedings and refuses to move to exchange just because employees are on annual leave. They're accepting substandard attitudes and approach to work just to get a commission; they're not working with my (their clients) best interests at heart.They're allowing the entire chain to collapse because they didn't properly investigate the credibility of the solicitor they've instructed my buyer to use. Absolutely disgraceful.

We viewed a modern auction house
We viewed a modern auction house, you know the one where they con the owner out of their hard earned cash to take a lower price whilst screwing the purchaser out of 6k! Won't touch this company again after loosing a property as had to bid against people who viewed when the vendor no longer wanted to sell via modern auction but they said we were bound to it in a verbal agreement.
