Received a call about an enquiry i made about a flat. Lady told me i have to earn 18k not including universal credit to be applicable. If she even had one brain cell she would know that if you earn 18k or more guess what.. You wouldn't be on universal credit. So if your on universal credit you have to provide a guarentor like thats some easy thing. So wasted my time and disappointed me. Its discrimination against people on benefits no matter which way you try and slyly explain it. Your all disgusting

Ending my tenancy 15 days into it.

Ending my tenancy 15 days into it.I moved into a flat at the start of the month, only to discover a number of issues which I wasn't informed of. The property was filthy, it hadn't been cleaned; there was a broken fridge; and when I looked at the photos of the property advertised online, they looked very different. They used old photos to advertise the flat online. Some furniture had rips there was markings as we'll as food on the walls.I sent an email and followed it up with a phone call to Shauuna from the Sheffield Branch (City centre), I recieved no acknowledgement of the issues and was told over the phone to call Maintenance. On calling Maintenance, I asked for a cleaner to come round and to replace the broken fridge. I was told the person who deals with my flat is on holiday and to call when she was back.... I gave up with the cleaner, I cleaned the property. However, I called everyday to try and get someone to sort my fridge. Nothing was done. I tried calling and talking to the local Branch, only to be spoken to in a rude and contracending manner. The lettings manager even requested she come around to see the issues, then when I called her back on the day to move the time, she cancelled stating "she believes me" that the fridge is broken, why would I lie about a broken fridge? I've chalked this up to that she couldn't be bothered to come around.On the 7th, the person from Maintenance who deals with my case (Anita) came back and started getting my case moving. The contractors confirm the fridge was broken... yet I'm still without any fridge. From calling Maintenance and speaking to various members of the team, I've been informed the issues of my flat were known and not communicated to me prior to moving in ( I would have never have signed the agreement if I'd known). Further, I've been calling everyday to get an understanding of what was happening with the fridge, the landlord is disputing the price quote, wanting the cheapest option available while I'm still left in the property 17 days into the tenacy with no solution in site. If this is what I have to go through each time there's an issue with the flat then no, I can't be bothered- what if the boiler breaks? Will I wait four weeks to get it fixed. I'm done with Reed Rains, I've had a terrible renting experience and I'd advise anyone thinking of renting through this company to avoid them at all costs.They lack competency and compassion.**Edit**Just thought I would add:It has taken me 3 weeks to get the fridge replaced, turns out when I threatened to end my tenancy they started to get the ball rolling. I still went through one of the hottest weekends and hottest days if the year without the appliance.Further, I was promised over the phone that I'd receive reduced rent this month for all the weeks without a fridge... this was told to me by Rhea at the local Branch. I've been informed that's not a policy Reed Rains employs, she just told me that for the hell of it.

Dreadful customer service

House purchase took over 8 months. Sometimes this can just happen due to unforeseen circumstances but this estate agent never, ever once called me back when I requested an update. 9 months in, I am now in the property. I have been waiting over a week for them to call back to supply burglar alarm code. Guess what? No response. Had to ask the neighbour to call the previous owner for the code. Absolute joke of a firm.

Head office

Head officeAs you will see Reeds Rains have replied to my comment, explaining that sales are taking longer than usual ! ! ! However, the problem is. They advise you to go with a certain buyer, take over a month to check all details and only after asking for many weeks what is happening. They finally confirm everything is “a go” This is not just the branch that are incompetent, it also comes from head office ! ! ! Six days ago they were full of apologies and confirmed on this site I would receive confirmation of my payment. Not such notification. The company is a TOTAL JOKE, UNPROFESSIONAL FROM HEAD OFFICE DOWN TO THE BRANCHES. ARLA will be informed along with the other “PROFESSIONAL BODIES” they claim to be with. Honestly, please please please DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

10/10 at being utterly useless.

Honestly every interaction I have had with this company has been a massive let down. The staff can barely tell you the day of the week let alone tell the left hand what the right hand is doing...Just so you don't think I'm being a tad dramatic the following is a shortened version of what happened because the full story would have me writing a novel with the amount of vexing conversations we had with the brainless Muppet dealing with our tenancy.Our washing machine broke down after 1 year and it got to the point where after over a month of ringing, we rang head office and was put through to a "senior manager" only to be told the 18 year old child with no capacity to understand how much of an inconvenience this could be to someone because he still thinks the washing fairy cleans clothes. would ring our landlord once (and only when we called to ask him what was happening) and when he couldn't get through he closed the case so nothing would happen until we called again... lovely. This went on for another 2 weeks and in total we was without something we consider pretty essential for around 1 and a half months? before we just rang the landlord and asked them to do it themselves and to our surprise reed rains hadn't spoken to them at all :) cracking! Now our bathroom has been ruined by the flat above leaking. the leak upstairs has been repaired by the flats owner (not reed rains or our landlord) and we have reported this over 10 times we have had multiple flat inspections and been told "oh that's really bad, i'm so sorry i'll get someone to look at it" and still over a year after ringing them we have still not had someone come and repair the damage :) 10/10 would not recommend, must be run by some of the most brainless people to exist. you call them for something simple enough and it turns into a battle to get them to even reply let alone action anything. Avoid these useless people at all costs...

NEVER acknowledges emails or calls and also uses a different name when the seller questions what is happening.To date, not had any confirmation of my payment, no thank you for using the company or a survey regarding the services provided.PLEASE PLEASE do not use this company for your own sane of mind.

A stupid company with poor minded people. Not just that they are some shameless people (their representatives) but they also dared to sustain our family not to have dogs in the rental...i mean some nobodies paid well too much!!! On top of this, after renting a house in a very poor state, with a fully in mold kitchen furniture, when we have requested from them to talk with the landlords about us buying for ourselves a proper different new one, saying that we want to change it, these ones have had the face to come and demand us to live the new furniture that we buy behind....i mean WHAT?!???? WHO are these people daring even to ask such a thing?!??? Some shameless ugly poorly behaved people!!!! Aren't them ashamed?!?? And they decide these things by themselves?!??? Daring to ask from us to leave the furniture bought by us in the rental?!!! I mean we just had very bad experiences with them. I wouldn't allow such a company on a market EVER!!!! Shameless, shameless!!!!

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service . I have not found one person on reeds and rains to be polite rather extremely rude. I wish I didn’t even put 1 star in reviews . They deserve none. Absolutely unprofessional behaviour. Nobody should be treated the way I had been treated. What kind of self entitlement can possibly dictate such behaviour is beyond my comprehension.

Reeds Rains Hyde

Just rewriting my husbands review that was acknowledged, however after emailing reeds rains at their request, no one bothers to email you back. So now I have got trading standards involved and the local MP so no one seems to give a damn about their customers at this company. If I could give minus stars I would. Reeds rains HYDE , wow , what can I say. Firstly the house they were willing to rent out was an absolute death trap. After completing all the relevant checks and following procedures we were given a move in date for the a rental property. The date (15th June) arrived. We were asked to pay the first month up front which is fair enough. Stupidly I did this over the phone before doing a handover with the agent. After paying the money and the money leaving my account instantly, I was told to go to the shop and will be given the keys. Again no handover was instructed. I took the keys and went to the property, no wonder they didn’t want to do a handover, the place was an absolute death trap. Wires exposed, damp on walls, the bathroom floor felt like it was about to collapse. Yes I should have spotted this on the viewing, but In the rush I had a quick look round a full open house with people wondering around everywhere and failed to spot. I instantly called the agent at the office and informed them that the keys would be returned straight away and sent the pictures and evidence I had gathered. I demanded a refund straight away and asked for an acknowledgment. Not only did I not receive an acknowledgment, the property was relisted 2 hours after I returned the keys and shown the pictures, £50 less than the fee we agreed. Absolutely outrageous, they have the attitude of “oh well we’ll pass onto the next unsuspecting fool thst will take it” I feel sorry for the person who may HAVE to take it out of necessity, this company are exploiting vulnerable people and have no shame in doing so. Needless to say, we’ve still not received our refund after numerous emails. Fobbed off day after day about banking delays , process times, it’s 2022 bank transfers are instant, use faster payment system. Absolute joke. I was going to let the holding deposit go but after reading the other horrendous reviews on here it seems we have been lied to there and that we are well within our rights to claim this back too. I told them more than once that I was happy to settle this amicably but they don’t have the capacity to listen to customers are are just interested in filling inadequate houses with potentially vulnerable individuals who have no choice. I will now be sending all the evidence I have to local authorities, my local MP and a solicitor to help me resolve this issue.

Still not resolved

After leaving a 1star review I received the standard “we take customer complaints very seriously “ email. ABSOLUTE RUBBISH. I am owed money from a deposit from a house i didn’t move into as it was a death trap. I’ve been promised and promised that it’s been processed, ITS NOT it’s taken half a month and still no money. My rent is now due on the property I’m in , never missed a payment in 6 years and reeds rains have my rent money to pay. I’ve emailed and responded to the complaints department who are now ignoring my emails, I’ve emailed the Hyde branch 3 times today with no reply. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. DO NOT GIVE THIS OUTFIT YOUR MONEY.
