Eccleshall Branch is a bit special.Superb service from the positive ,pulchritudinous and pragmatic Nicola.Several viewings and sold in less than a week for virtually the full asking price.Best thing though was the communication.Can't fault them .No hesitation in recommending them.

TrustpilotSmooth and easy process - very professional
We have just bought and then rented out a house through Reeds Rains in Acomb.The process with them has been smooth and problem free, despite what’s been going on with Covid and also us living overseas. Jordan and Alex have been super helpful and professional, can’t fault them at all.Thank you for all your hard work guys!

TrustpilotIf you’re a tenant threaten them with…
If you’re a tenant threaten them with legal action!! That’s the only thing that seems to work. I’ve been to the solicitor once already this year for maintenance that I’d been chasing for 10 months, it was done in a week. They were avoiding me so much that it was the only option. Even today, I’ve been waiting months to get my guttering changed because it’s causing my window to flood through, they’ve ignored me, spoken to me like I’m worthless, it’s disgusting!!! YOU SIGNED A TENANTS AGREEMENT!!!!!! Get a grip! I’ve got an appointment with the same solicitor next week, hopefully get their months notice in straight after, and then get a judge to deal with them, then I’m moving the hell out!!
Hi Phil,We are very sorry to read your review. When maintenance issues arise at a property there are a lot of steps that need to be taken before being able to authorise a repair to be made. In the first instance we need to establish who is responsible for the works as in some instances this does not fall on the owner of the property and then before we can carry out any works we do need authorisation from the Landlord. I am sorry that this took longer than we would have hoped and glad to hear that the problems are being resolved now.If you have any other questions please contact us on: Congleton@Reedsrains.co.ukKind regards,Reeds Rains

They are liars and time wasters I put my offer in asked if the property was freehold they assured me it was and it was leasehold and lead me along for 3 month dont believe them they wasted my money and time so make things easy look find trustworthy estate agents the branch I delt with was birmingham yadley branch crap service and misleading agents
Hello, I'm sorry that you feel the service you received was not up to our usual high standard as we do pride ourselves on good customer service. With regards to the detail on the property being bought, the property is Freehold as stated at the beginning of the sale, however part way through the sale the solicitors found that there was also a leasehold title running concurrently on the property (dual title), which even the owner was unaware of. At your solicitors request the owners agreed to get the two titles merged but unfortunately the delays in being able to get this done obviously did not tie in with the time frames you required. I am sorry that you were unable to hang on until the merging of the titles was complete and that you feel dissatisfied with the service you received.Kind regards,Reeds Rains Yardley

Warning this pack of thieves is still taking tenancy renewal fees off of tenants which is illegal.This fee was abolished on 31st May 2020 but they are doing it still as I write this.Cant wait to inform Trading standards and local council.This review concerns the branch in Dinnington South Yorkshire.Postal code s25.
Hello - We are sorry to hear this - Reeds Rains are very rigorous about applying the correct fees and pride ourselves on being up to date with all matters of legislation. We would like to look into this further if you can let us know which branch you have been dealing with?Kind regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotAvoid Reeds Rains as landlord or tenant.
I agree with most of the reviews for Reeds Rains. Dreadful and avoid. I chose them to "fully manage" my flat in Hanley. They found completely unsuitable tenants twice and then failed to "manage" the situation leaving me to take it on. Their business is totally fragmented. Tenants are found by the local "branch". Then they are passed to Southampton and somewhere else for rent collection and credit control. They do not communicate between themselves and I got conflicting emails from two places. They treat the tenant as a commodity, and appear to do as little as possible when a problem arises.

TrustpilotNever rent from ReedsRains!
Never rent from ReedsRains!Their fragmented departments make it impossible at times to get any fluidity to responses. Constantly late in terms of dealing with return of payments, they often mis-calculating amounts and show a complete lack of empathy with any issues raised. Their Hub is particularly bad at customer service and I feel they are only out to get as much money out of you as possible. They prefer you to over pay then claim reimbursement, however getting the money back is an absolute nightmare. At branch level they complete dismiss responsibility and tell you to contact the faceless Hub if you have issues. Both these elements of the business do not seem to be well coordinated at all. Maintenance issues are not dealt with promptly.They often shun responsibility and you end up chasing your tail trying to get an answer. Horrible company with terrible morals!I would honestly never take a house rented by them under any circumstance again.

TrustpilotLiam was helpful , polite, straightforward , professional yet friendly & caring
I spoke to an employee named liam who was extremley helpful well spoken and polite when helping me find some properties to view for me and my partner who are desperate to find somewhere to live, he took all of our needs and request into consideration when searching for properties to make sure that he could find the best properties for us and very quickly emailed over a property to us

TrustpilotDreadful, service for landlord and tenant
I chose Reeds Rains to manage my rental property in Macclesfield to reduce the time it was taking to manage it myself. It was the worst decision I could have made. Their 'award winning' out-sourced service meant I never spoke to the same person twice. The customer facing team based hundreds of miles way in Southampton had no idea about the local area and no relationships in place with the maintenance people on the ground or the tenants. One piece of maintenance work took over 6months to resolve. The service was poor from start to finish. My advice would be to find a local independent who actually cares about their landlords and tenants. Avoid Reeds Rains at all costs. Dreadful!!
1/5
TrustpilotA horrible organisation.
A horrible organisation that is so disjointed it’s a joke. Very rude and their main aim seems to be ‘how can we get more money out of people by doing no work’. People at the branch are okay but the people in the many different disjointed departments speak to you in such an awful way. And if you try and query a charge their go to statement is ‘it’s just the system’ with no explanation behind it. Or if you try and get something fixed in your rented house they’ll just ignore it. I wouldn’t touch this company with a barge pole again.

TrustpilotI will not recommend Reeds Rains Wakefield…
I instructed Reeds Rains Wakefield branch to sell my property. There was loads of errors, misinformation, letter not sent on time. They recommended to me bad solicitor who have no ideas of latest legislations. It took over 7 months to exchange contract. Poor communication, it seems they don't know what they are doing in their office. It as completely waste of time. Very stressful dealing with this company. I will not recommend anyone.
Dear Mr Ogoo,I am really sorry to read about your experience with the local branch, partner conveyancers and to hear of your frustrations with the length of time in which your sale completed, it is my understanding that there were many factors to which elongated the time frame in which legal completion could take place.I would like the opportunity to discuss the points of your experience as delivering first class customer service is very important to mePlease email me at scott.copley@reedsrains.co.uk or call me on 01924 375301 if you would like to discuss this matter further.Kind Regards,Scott Copley - Branch Manager

TrustpilotGiving this company 1 star is only due…
Giving this company 1 star is only due to not being able to give 0. Absolutely disgusting rip off company. My son and his partner needed to give early termination of a tenancy due to the property being unsuitable due to change in circumstances. The landlord refused unless they paid reeds rains £720 which were apparently their fees for getting a new tenant. They did not take new photos, they basically just shoved it on their website again and have refused or made excuses in giving a breakdown of what these ludicrous fees are for. Luckily a new tenant was found straight away but God help them cause the landlord refuses to put anything right and reeds rains fob you off saying its not their responsibility & the new tenants couldn't even see inside the property due to Reed rains messing up with the keys. Even to the end they sent a threatening email that if the money wasn't paid by the end of the 4th day after they provided the bank details they would put a stop on the contract termination. Will be continuing to fight these fees & taking up the matter with the property ombudsman as tried their own complaint procedure and got as far as the area manager who was just as useless as the manager at the branch at giving pathetic excuses for these fees.

TrustpilotNot worthy even of one star
Not worthy even of one star. They sent out contract for renewal tenancy and failed to pick up that statutory notice periods have changed twice during Covid. They are still advising that it’s two months when in fact it was extended to three and now six months. An absolute joke of a service.

GoogleWe have provided Inventory services to the Bedworth branch for the past 12 months. Sarah, Karis and Andrew in the office have been nothing short of excellent throughout this time. They are always professional, organised and willing to work with us to ensure our services can be delivered with minimum fuss. We hope to continue our positive relationship forward for the foreseeable future.
