Reeds Rains have been my letting agents…

Reeds Rains have been my letting agents for the last few years. They are the sort of agent who tend to get things done eventually, in a roundabout sort of way, but their business process is clearly chaotic and they can be a real pain. Some of the highlights of my tenancy:* Any communication needs repeatedly following up, a large number of emails get ignored.* They somehow failed to keep a copy of all the keys to my flat, so they can't get in without me there* My local branch closed down but they never thought to tell me. I only discovered because I turned up there and it was a vape shop.* They've suddenly introduced a £120 "renewal fee" for renewing contracts.On the plus side, their call-centred based maintenance system, while a little impersonal, does tend to get people out to me quickly enough. Their staff are generally friendly too, a few of them are just a bit dim-witted. If you see a place you love and it's Reeds Rains, you might have some hassle but it'll be ok.

Big Mistake to go with Reeds Rains.

We used Reed Rains Abergele to manage our property because they were local. Within a few months they closed the Abergele office. We then had to deal with their inefficient Southampton call centre. They were a disaster for us. We ended up having to deal with repairs and contractors ourselves because they didn't have any local contractors who would pay to be on their books. They got ridiculous quotes for repairs. In the end we changed to a local company but Reeds Rains want us to pay £750 to get out of a contract when it is actually them who are at fault. They unilaterally changed the terms of our service without any discussion.

Stay away

We have rented a house through Reeds Rains for 2.5 years now, never had any major problems, rent inspections every 3 months, but they always manage to find an issue; carpets need cleaning, nick in Lino where dishwasher has slotted in, they’ve even gone as far as requesting us to clean the drive way, but I believe this to be the bloke that owns the house. I’m very particular my home so I was quite upset to learn that I had been judged like this! We have already come to terms with the fact that we are unlikely to receive our bond back, even though there are no major issues with the house.We have only had two cause for concern issues, the second one arising today. In the summer, no one was at home for the gas man who coincidentally knew the landlord (not Reeds Rains), personally, so he came with a spare key and let him in while no one was at home! It was actually my day off and the gas man was 30 mins earlier than expected, I had the shock of my life when I returned home. Today, I got a text from my bank to say that I was in my overdraft! I thought bloody hell, we’re not even in January yet, how did this happen?! Reeds Rains had taken two lots of rent direct debits totalling over £1500! I rang their accounts team who fobbed me off and told me it was my banks issue! After twoing and frowing, Halifax have managed to claw back one of the direct debits, but it will take 24-48 hours to show in my account. Reeds Rains customer service is diabolical!**edit as can’t reply to comment - Haxby Branch

If there was a zero stars they'd get…

If there was a zero stars they'd get it! You never speak to the same person twice due to staff turnover and when you do, they do nothing about your complaint. We were left without heat or water for a week with a small child. Despite visits every 3 months where they stated everything was fine, at the end of the tenancy they delayed returning our deposit for 3 months and then stiffed us for the full amount as they said the house didn't match the original inventory. We were not given the chance to dispute this or find cheaper firms to do any work that was supposedly necessary. Absolute con artists! Complaints going to the ombudsman asap.Edit: Hilarious to see this joke of a company requested feedback about which office I had a problem with, when its the whole company. Enough with the pretend customer care on Trust Pilot! It's the treatment before hand that does the damage. What a joke.

Not the best experience with them

Recently booked a house viewing with them, never received any confirmation of the viewing and they never sent me the full address so I had to call up on the day to get the details and to confirm. Once we arrived the agent didn’t introduce himself at all, and just didn’t seem like he wanted to be there, he sounded very bored. He didn’t know any information about the property and couldn’t answer any questions that we had. He didn’t sell it at all, I’d be fuming if he was selling my home! Wouldn’t want to use them again

Spectacular service

Steven Goforth and his team were fantastic. His team was very helpful and I achieved 100% of the asking price for my home within a very short time period; in a very competitive market. I would recommend the Hull branch to anybody looking for a quick, easy and hassle free sale.

Absolute con artists

Absolute con artists. You sign a document stating rules etc. I briefly remember one of the pointers being "check out fee" but no actual figure of how much this was. To be horror I am sent a bill for £120. Apparently this is to pay for someone to walk around the house and check it is okay. Did I mention the landlord pays the same? £240 for a ten minute walk around? Really???! I then received the report back stating several issues such as lampshade missing (even though it was there but in a different place) damp and mould of front and back door (how and why that is the tenants fault is beyond me).The landlord then came back and stated she wanted £60 from my deposit because I had left my grass cutter in the garage (a phone call about this would rectified this as I forgot about it); apparently she spent 8 hours cleaning the property??? Due to the damp and mould from the doors. The house is old and both doors are old and not fit for the amount of rain water. She then also complained I had smart meters installed "without her permission" clutching at straws there, as smart meter does nothing to alter the property in any way! And aside from that I lived in this property for a year and 7 months of that I lived with a rat infestation!!! I was simply told to just go get some rat poison (even though I had a 5 year old, like you want rat poison with children inside) and some traps?? They did absolutely NOTHING until i reported it to environmental health. The whole agency is a complete rip off with hidden costs. I won't ever rent with them again or recommend them.Taking that extortionate amount of money plus £60 (conveniently a very rounded amount) off a single parent right before Christmas must make them feel really big!!

The estate agent

The estate agent, Steve was brilliant so down to earth and gave me honest feedback which I can use. I felt comfortable letting him into my house and that I could trust him. I will only use Reeds Rains when I sell or rent as can tell they are professionals that I can trust. He was on time for the appointments and very approachable.

Reeds Rains Eastwood...seriously this…

Reeds Rains Eastwood...seriously this must be the best estate agent in Nottinghamshire.Nothing was too much trouble for them.Led by their wonderful manager Matt all of his staff were helpful,friendly,polite and efficient. Due to their efficiency my mum’s property was sold on the first day as they had notified a couple who came to view it at once and snapped it up as realistically priced(£20,000 more than another estate agent who had also priced it).They dealt with everyone of my queries in their usual quick and meticulous manner.The manager Matt led by example and along this journey offered his help every step of the way and reiterated this every time I phoned or called into the office.This estate agent was recommended by a friend of mine and I’m so glad I went with them as they made what could be a very stressful experience into a very pleasant one. I cannot sing their praises highly enough and cannot understand the bad reviews given to them as I am recommending them to all my friends who want to sell their property.

Reeds rains Hull...

Reeds rains Hull...Initially registered interest in a property through website, due to no answer at estate agents, even though they were supposed to be open.Expected to be called once registering, however no call came? Rung the estate agents again and finally got through, lady explained I would have to go through my details again as they can't retrieve my information off website? So I gave details, to be told someone will ring me back. No one did. Rung estate agents again and finally booked a viewing. Took afternoon off work as I work away and went to view property. No representation from estate agents turned up and no access to property due to it been vacant. Strange when Estate agent stated it was in high demand and they had been viewings through the week? Ring estate agents who explained they had been a mistake in the diary and wouldn't be able to view today! Luckily the owner of the property now knows the mess around we've had off reeds rains. Quite simple, no one is bothered in that place. Even though they're a esrare agents, they don't seem interested in viewing or selling of properties. Stay away.

To answer Reeds Rains reply (unsigned)

To answer Reeds Rains reply (unsigned) It seems strange that when I notified Reeds Rains to release the deposit back to the tenant who had just vacated they sent me an email to advise me that their Eastwood Team would be in touch to help find a new Tenant. I called the Eastwood Office and spoke to the person who dealt with the lettings advising that I do not require their services, She is the one of the team that caused the problem. So it says a lot about so called "full restructure at our Eastwood and Chesterfield branches as a result whole new teams are now in place " It just shows that their management is out of touch and does not tell the whole truth.To sum up the service is poorH Orchard

I am a Landlord and was dealing with Reeds Rains at Eastwood Nott's in January 2019 and the Tenancy has now terminated.The staff at Eastwood and Chesterfield do not understand the Legal Requirements of a Tenancy agreement and Signed on my behalf after I had expressly told them not to, saying I would allow the Tenant to move in and we would sign the agreement when it had been amended as there was so many errors in it.They went ahead anyway and signed on my behalf.I have now moved to a more professional company
