We contacted the Salford branch in order to express an interest in a property we were shown that was Buy to Rent. My husband was told by a very blasé staff member that they would contact us at some point to get job details etc and wouldn't that they wouldn't take any details from us.When my husband rang and emailed again the next day, he was informed that all 'offers' were now with the Landlord and one had been accepted! We hadn't had the opportunity to be able to provide our full names let alone put in an 'offer' to the landlord. Very underhand and suspect for a government backed scheme for first time buyers. Avoid these time wasters.

Hi Irm - I am sorry to hear that you were not successful in applying for this property. Unfortunately, we were inundated with interest and received numerous offers from different people. Due to the volume of interest, the company dealing with the property took an offer they deemed acceptable and would not discuss any further offers. I know how difficult it can be to find a property in this market and so if you if you would like to give me a call at the office (0161 737 4828) I would be more than happy to add you to my list of potential tenants and I will assist you in anyway I can.Regards,Ben Eastham - Salford Branch Manager

TrustpilotThe branch of Reeds Rains that we were initially dealing with was Abergele in North Wales. We were then transfered to the Rhyl branch when Abergele closed.
When Reeds Rains put our property on the market their representative told us that we had to pay £150 upfront and if they did not sell our property they would refund the £150. We have decided not to sell our home and asked Reeds Rains to take our property off the market & refund the £150. We've now been told by the manager of another branch (our original branch closed) that the £150 was for professional photographs (although this is in the agency agreement), this is not what we were advised at the time & we believe we were mis-led. The employees from the other branch are no longer employed by them!!!!

Reeds Rains did an excellent job for our flat purchase. Gemma could not have been more helpful and was always available whenever we phoned. They went above and beyond, even driving to the flat after hours to let us in when we wanted another look around to measure up halfway through the purchase. Great service, thanks guys.

TrustpilotReed Rains needs to be reported ASAP!!
Just called hoping to arrange a viewing on Kingston road which i enquired about 2 weeks ago. I called today hoping to arrange a viewing as I was waiting for them to get back to me with arranging a appointment which then I found out they had a open house a day before and did not bother calling me as i was told I'll be put down for a viewing. The agent was really out of line and told me the property is no longer available and we will contact you once we've arranged viewings and hung up on me. TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! Honestly been arranging viewings with these lot for weeks now but never have luck with them its a shame because this was actually a recommendation from a friend who sold through them!!!! Purple Bricks have actually provided a better service and there is no agent showing us around and yet they call us to update us with upcoming properties. Poor attitude with dead faces in the office with no intentions to help selling a house.... Absolute JOKE !!!

TrustpilotIf your a landlord stay away
Firstly please do not use Reeds and Rains!. I am a landlord. Every month my rent is not in my account until at least 10 days after the payment date by the tenant on the first of each month. Why? so RR can gain interest. Last month monies for a deposit scheme where taken x 3 amounts all at once? Why? who knows I have contacted three different people. No response. I have left a message via the landlord portal. No response. Also i pay a management fee for property inspection reports. How many have I had in the last year? yep zero. I am going to visit the branch tomorrow. Please do not be taken in by this company. And I am guessing i will receive no response from this. Shocking parasitesALSO YOU HAVE TO CONTACT ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT YOURSELF! See below Thank you for your email received on 7 August 2019. I will log this as an official complaint for you. May I suggest for you to contact the accounts team who will be the ones who can explain anything to do with payments going in and out of your account. Their number is 01257 230 600 option 3 Yours sincerelyInna PetkovaCustomer relations supervisorSO AS A CUSTOMER WHO PAYS A MANAGMENT FEE YOU DO THE WORK FOLKS!! GOOD LUCK!! shocking

TrustpilotHouse Valuation
Jonjo came to our property to advise on an appropriate valuation for a future sale and to help advise our bank for remortgaging purposes. He was punctual, friendly and his expertise of the local area, combined with our property meant that we got a realistic valuation of our house in its current condition. This information has been very helpful in terms of future planning and we would like to thank Reeds Rains for their help.

TrustpilotAwful service
Awful service. Moved around and been renting for the past 7 years and I have never had an experience like this. I've never had an application process thats taken more than a couple of weeks max. With Reeds Rains, it has been 4 weeks and still not sorted. References were an issue due to them using the incompetent service that is Experian. Everytime you contact the office, you get fobbed off and you can never get through to the person dealing with your application unless they happen to answer the phone by chance. Looking to BUY a property soon and I will not be interested in any property advertised by Reeds Rains! First and last!

TrustpilotLandlords AVOID!!
Landlords AVOID!!! Reeds Raines were the managing agents for me for two years in Sheffield (Eccleshall Rd Branch which then moved to Woodseats. At the end of a tenancy, not only was the house (which had been entirely redecorated at the start of the tenancy) damaged and dilapidated, the tenant didn’t return the keys and the Agency didn’t contact me to tell me. I turned up with a van and the house was locked. There had been no oversight from them during the tenancy in spite of the requirement in writing that I wanted photos of condition on an annual basis.Needless to say, the garden was overgrown and much of the internal decoration needed remediation including reskimming an entire wall due to plaster damage. I had to pay to get gardeners to correct The neglect to the garden and the tenant disputed there was any damage/neglect/dilapidation.I eventually received the keys a month later after a month of calls to Reeds Raines from me...sometimes three calls a day trying to get their different branches to work together to retrieve the keys. They were incompetent..and in spite of my request, the agency failed to serve notice after the tenants failed to return the keys on the tenancy end date. There was more than £1800 costs to remediate, and Reeds Rains held the deposit for 5 months before submitting it to the DPS for arbitration and only released the amount the tenant agreed to £500, immediately before submitting it (they held onto the entire deposit for 5 months with no reason). 7 months later I have asked them about the status of the dispute resolution. They inform me they sent £40 to my account a couple of months ago and have not provided any outcome description to me in writing.They even asked it I wanted them to remarket the house 2 months later after I had corrected all the damage!,,,,Avoid these incompetent frauds. They are just taking your money and doing everything they can to hold onto it (not submitting the deposit for dispute resolution) without even training their staff in the legal process around letting.They are the absolute worst letting agents I have ever encountered. They lied to my face so many times!!!!
Frances · 1 August 2019 · Reeds Rains
Agent replied · 16 June 2024
Dear Frances, I'm sorry to read this review. I agree it wasn’t best end to what I would consider a well conducted tenancy in a family home. You came to Reeds Rains after a bad experience with your previous agent where you advised the deposit hadn't covered dilapidation at the end of the tenancy. Given you'd explained to me how important the property was to you, I felt the applicant we secured could be perfect as they were a professional, small family unit. They referenced well and conducted the tenancy without issue for over two years, making full rent payments and allowing access for property inspections without issue. During these inspections, the property was clean and tidy and there was no evidence of neglect or malicious damage. The tenant had a cleaner and a gardener over this period. The end of the tenancy did present challenges in that the occupant was buying a house and the date provided by them passed with keys not coming in when we were advised they would. There was much heated communication over this period, culminating in apologies from the tenant as their move and a holiday had all happened at the same time. The keys came in two weeks after the date the tenant advised they would be vacating. Unfortunately the oven clean and gardening were not attended to in the haste to return the keys. This was a very stressful time for all involved. Advice is given to tenants on the expectation of a property when handing back the keys at the end of any tenancy term. The deposit claim you submitted following the checkout report and your own property inspection was less than the full deposit and legally we cannot release any funds to either party without agreement from both parties. Your tenant agreed to some of your claims and then they approached the MyDeposits dispute service to arbitrate as they felt betterment was being sought. The sum agreed by the tenant was released to you without question by Reeds Rains. The award from MyDeposits was in the tenant's favour and the monies transferred accordingly. You made contact 6 months after this award was made asking for an update. Unfortunately, the management centre relocated whilst this case was with MyDeposits and the original team handling left the Company's employment. I apologise you weren't sent a copy of the adjudication report when the awarded funds transferred. This has now been sent to you to close proceedings. Lindsay Thompson-Moore Lettings Manager
