No contact as promised.

An appointment was arranged for an agent to view my home to give me a valuation. The viewing was cancelled due to a circumstance to which I accepted but the agent said he'd ring me the next day to give me a valuation over the phone. A week on and I never received the call. If he couldn't contact me then surely the professional thing to do is to pass the job to someone else. So I shall not be using Reeds Rains in the future.

Leasehold brushed under carpet

Agreed a sale on a property that was leasehold. When I asked for details about the lease prior to sale I was told that solicitors deal with this but its about £100 a year. Fast forward 2 months into the sale and it turns out annual lease is so high my mortgage would be refused. When I told this to the estate agent and that we were pulling out of the sale I was met with a rude and abrupt response. I know they lost a sale, but if they were more transparent from the get go it wouldn't have happened (nor would it have cost me £800 in solicitor and servery fees). When we started to search for another house I avoided any Reeds Rains properties and I will never use their services again.

Avoid!

Avoid! Whether you are a buyer or seller, don't waste your time, effort and money!Booked a viewing to find the estate agent knew very little about the property. Promised to get back to me the following day with answers to questions we asked... nothing. Until just under a week later when they rang for feedback on the property. When advised we are awaiting a response to our questions (which the lady seemed oblivious to) and that this service is not good enough, they blamed the owner of the property for not getting back to them and advised they would get back to us again... yet we are still waiting. Turns out we viewed a friend of a friends house and they wasn't even aware of the viewing (house was unoccupied), let alone the questions! (Preston branch)

Really awful company to deal with

Really awful company to deal with. They lie many times and avoid responsibility for their incompetence, Integrity is missing in bucketloads but greed is a paramount behaviour. Why this company is allowed to operate as a tenancy management company with utter contempt toward the customer is beyond me. Hard faced liars. Not a thread of sincerity. Absolutely stressful to deal with and will never go back.

Avoid this bunch at all costs

Avoid this bunch at all costs. They will cheat you out of your hard earned money. They miserably fail to live up to any responsibility even when provided with evidence that proves without doubt their incompetence. Lacking a moral and ethical compass. A very rotten apple. I only apologise for misleading you with 1 star but that was the "entry fee" for posting an honest review.

Reeds Rains - horrible experience and they will cheat you!

I dealt with Macclesfield branch as a landlord. They will be very nice to you and get you sign a contract with vague contract. They will make sure they don’t tell you important information. In my case I wanted to end fully managed contract as a landlord after tenancy agreement was ended and they asked me to pay full months rent as an exit fee. They have this clause in contract that you do have to pay exit fee but the whole contract is written as if it all applies for tenure of tenancy agreement, and that’s where they will cheat you!!! I had to pay money to come out of contract since property ombudsman is useless and takes month to reply. My advice is to make sure you ask them to write down very clearly about any exit clause but rather not use them because they cheat you through their terms

Appalling level of competence…

Appalling level of competence for managing rentals on behalf of landlord and tenant. Would never go back to this company. Shocking level of service that in no way reflects the high management fees they charge. They use poor third party "inspectors" so adding to smokescreens avoiding responsibility.

Very good service. Very pleased.

We recently moved into a city centre apartment. The process of signing the contract and moving in was pretty stress free especially considering the whole corona situation. Ryan answered all our questions as best to his knowledge and even was able to move us in a day earlier than agreed, so that it would coincide with the bank holiday. Very good service. Very pleased.

Great service from Reeds Rains Walderslade

Changed to Reeds Rains after a frustrating time with Purplebricks. The service we received from Daniel and his staff was excellent. Friendly, professional and enthusiastic to get our property sold. There were hiccups with the sale for various reasons not associated with the estate agent (illness of someone in the chain, mortgage offers rescinded after lockdown ...) but all were dealt with swiftly to ensure our house was sold. Would recommend them.

Excellent - highly recommend

I used the Evesham, Worcestershire branch for the recent sale of a property in August 2020. Jeremy and the team were excellent - they operated with integrity, enthusiasm and superb knowledge of the local market. Would highly recommend. James C.

Sam was brilliant from start to finish. We demanded a lot and asked a lot of questions which he answered in good time! We had some problems with timings of our move in date but Sam was always helping us and was honest in what information he gave us. Would definitely recommend!

I put my parents house on the market with Reeds Rains in January and after 2 weeks the second couple to view the house put an offer in. I can’t thank all the staff enough but most of all Nina at Reed Rains for all they did to make sure the sale went through smoothly, especially as we had the Coronavirus pandemic which held up the completion of the sale. I would recommend Reeds Rains to anyone who is looking to sell their house in the future because of their professionalism and knowledge in pricing houses. All in all, a fantastic service from all involved.

I am a Landlord

I am a Landlord. I am in the UK Armed Forces and I spend @ 66% of each year overseas. Unfortunately I was overseas when my flat became vacant in January 2019. I contacted Reeds Rains in Didsbury Manchester to collect the keys and assume Marketing & Management for any Letting; Greg Snow of Reeds rains, assumed this role. Unfortunately, now it's August 2020 and Eon Electricity are threatening me with County Court Action due to outstanding Electricity Bills. I've Let and Managed Property since 1999; it's very easy. Unfortunately, Greg moved in a new tenant and stupidly only took a single electric meter reading. There are 2 meters due to there being Economy 10 Heating and you cannot mistake them becasue they are next to each other in the hallway at the entrance to the flat, in a cupboard levelled at waist height. Also, his management of the tenancy was appalling. It usually took @ 3 days for him to reply to my communications, if at all and the tennant had the same issues. Reeds Rains office staff in Didsbury were jolly and pleasant on the telephone but in general, were all young and transient office staff, whom were very ill informed on most matters and although willing to help, they were unable to. I've decided that Not having Reeds Rains Manage my property is much easier.....stress!

Good advice and good outcome

Excellent service when selling my parents' home. Great advice on what to do to pre the house for sale, how to best manage offers etc. The price we have agreed on was in excess of my expectations and the whole process has been very easy (so far!). My thanks to Olivia and Mark at RR Wilmslow.

I was lied to, given false assurances by Alister only to be phoned to take payment but instead after speaking only hours earlier about i could secure it that he had given it to a couple who shown previous interest. Do not trust this chesterfield branch

Do not I repeat do not use this agent

Do not I repeat do not use this agent! Alison Sidney based in Walderslade has totally given false information on a regular basis on renting a property. She was happy to take £288 holding deposit yet still carried on letting other clients view the property. My son gave all information requested including a guarantor and still she mis lead us into believing that my son and his partner would be moving into the house. This agent lies and takes deposits misleading people totally - stay clear and go with a reputation agent - not this bunch of shafters!
