TrustpilotMCR City Center Branch - 0/5
I am landlord, I was on fully managed service with RR. RR selected some bunch of thugs as tenants for my house, Tenants never paid rent on time and stopped paying after 3 months completely. RR did literally nothing, RR failed to effectively do the pre-tenancy checks, referals, failed to notice that tenants had dogs at my property, RR also made blunder when sending S21 notice, it was rejected by solicitor. There is no dedicated property manager, it keeps changing and you need to keep explaining to the new property managers. its big NO-NO agency, avoid yourself a horror and choose some other trustworthy agency.

Dear Mr Dahake, I am sorry to hear of the experience that you faced with your former tenants. Reeds Rains take customer service extremely seriously so I apologise if you feel you have not received excellent service. Having looked into this matter I can see we carried out adequate referencing checks prior to the tenancy commencing through one of the UK's biggest referencing companies, Experian. The checks were passed as satisfactory with no indications of poor credit history or previous grievances with renting. As per your 'fully managed' package, Reeds Rains assisted with the legal proceedings in evicting your tenants through the correct process via the courts, this was further aided by our legal department. Furthermore, I can see that the senior property manager was in contact with yourself throughout the process up until the keys were handed back. Kind Regards Greg Davies - Senior Branch Manager

TrustpilotExcellent Service…
I have recently bought a house from Reed Rains in Ossett. The solicitors, I and the Vendor employed were very slow. Dan in the Ossett branch went above and beyond his remit, liasing with the Vendor, obtaining documents to push the Sale through. I would no hesitation in buying from Dan and the Ossett branch again.

TrustpilotSlum letting agent! Do not trust
Well I took a rented house through reeds An rains at the start of this month, it was supposedly recently renovated, but the list of issues became apparent as soon as I got lightbulbs, from damp both rising An from the holes in roof, to black mould in all rooms, to actively hidden damage an further mould an damp.. to no bin access, to blocked drains An rats, sunken sockets wires hanging out of wall...bathroom an kitchen poorly fitted to ridiculous proportions ... cannot clean anything report from enviromental health arrived today! And well 44issues raised some of which are category one potentially ! It is not able to use this “house” as a home...I wish I could upload picture of the misrepresented hell hole, I have asked for my money back repeatedly since the day I saw the extent of the hidden damage ! The enviromental health recommend the house be taken to brick in basically all of the rooms an redone, I need rehousing at your expense an I need it last week! Suggesting I live through the works is beyond a joke when it’s is this bad! Also you could tell enviromental health the truth which is you may fix things in 1/2 years maybe, but won’t fix anything unless forced and not anytime soon, so they can help me further! Or serve me with a section 21 notice so the local council can help me! Loads of things you could do but you just want money for something unuseable! This should never have been on the market I know you should be compensating me I’ve already started trying to make contact with solicitors ! No refund is offered only releasing me from the tenancy! Which means they keep my money! Which is abhorrent for a place you cannot cook or wash or clean properly in! You respond with almost the same thing in all these reviews do you actually fix it An return people’s money + for the inconvenience caused but it’s beyond inconvenienced ! It’s halted my life made me anxious depressed and poorly ! My asthma is worsening by the day...Rotherham branch should be ashamed this is now almost a month of this now I would give -5 stars if possible

TrustpilotAwful service
My husband and I have been chasing the maintenance team of Reeds Rains to have a job fixed in the property for over two years now. The latest inspection again has highlighted the damage and my husband has asked for a resolution to the problem and still had no response. The money was taking out of the last tenants bond and the job was never completed. Our current tenants have now lived with the damage for two years which is totally unacceptable . We have a full log of dates and times of when we have chased this job and we are now considering taking legal advice as we don't know how to resolve this. We are paying for a fully managed service but yet not getting the service agreed in our contract so much so the tenants ring us directly as they are so fed up with Reeds Rains poor service.

They instruct an independent organisation to undertake professional photographs, which is a great touch! They keep you updated but charge for petty things. They are a good agent, but their fees are extortionate.

Unprofessional and unethical. It didn't say offers around, it said asking price. Was told asking price had been offered, how much more were we prepared to pay? Since when did it turn into an auction!?? State offers around if u want to alter the price.

I would like to take the time to write a positive review for the team at reeds rains Preston. From the very first meeting with Becci for the initial valuation I was impressed with how positive she was about meeting the market value of the property. I was kept up to speed with every viewing and comments . So I would definitely use Reeds Rains again in future ventures. Keep up the good work. Regards David

TrustpilotYou don’t get a second chance to make a first impression
I got in touch with this agent as I have a property to sell and therefore wanted their view on how they would market the property. I had three interactions with staff over 10 days and on each occasion the interaction was poor. I note on your responses below you say customer service is important to you but with near 50% of the reviews being left with one star it feels like you have a lot of work to do.I am not going to list all the points that lead to this score as I feel the staff members were only doing what has been asked of them. Their behaviour reflected the business culture and investment (or lack of it) in their staff in my opinion.As Head of Customer Experience for a FTSE 100 Financial Services company I do have high expectations of how any organisation treats its customers. Thankfully another agent has exceeded my expectations and I will be using them instead.If Reed Rains want to hear my views on my experience I am happy to discuss. I am pleased to have had this experience though as it has provided me with a great customer experience case study to share with my front line staff.

Very poor, don't seem to have any brain power when it comes to how to market a property.Incapable of responding with anything coherent when you raise any queries. You don't need to be William Shakespeare but a general level of being able to construct sentences is not too much to expect.

TrustpilotReeds Rains ilford
Reeds Rains - Ilford, Cranbrook roadExtremely unpleasant to deal with. I had been calling every single day for a week regarding a rental property advertised to be told someone will call back. However no one ever did. I called yesterday complaining to Bernard, the branch manager emphasising the lack of customer service. He also told me he will call me back. To no surprise i did not get a call back. Called in to find more excuses and then was being told what and how to leave a review. I stated i wanted to complain and i was told to send the complain to the person i would be filing the complaint against! LoL! I have never come across such a counter intuitive demand before. DO NOT use these guys. They have such a disgusting attitude. Anyone wanting to rent out their property, do NOT use them. They do not care about whether your property needs to be rented out or not. This could very well have been a happy landlord whose property has been rented. However it is not the case due to this embarassing property agents and the manner in which they deal with customers. I will be taking this further to HR or MD. I am leaving review on every platform to raise awareness. Stay well away from these guys!

TrustpilotReeds Rains Catford - Choose them if you enjoy stress
I could be here typing all day. Appalling communication throughout my whole moving out process. I had to constantly chase them for an update on my deposit for weeks. Their landlord tried to claim MORE than the actual deposit for repair costs including £14.40 for a new lightbulb!? Their staff at Reeds Rains Catford are lazy and unhelpful, and that includes at their head office too. They even claimed to want to redecorate the whole property, when a new family has already moved in there.Their landlord and "contractors" are absolute con artists - avoid at all costs.

TrustpilotPathetic, incompetent and zero added value
Where to start? I get letting agents need to make a profit, and I’m happy to support that - if they use just a fraction of the profit to offer a service.They were a pain to deal with when we moved in, they performed every task with great difficulty and constant reminding. It was like communicating with a toddler. Emails were ignored, bounced between departments and processed slowly.In 3 years we needed 1 x spare key, 1 x washing machine repair/replacement and 1x boiler fix.We never got the key.We did receive a new washer - but we ended up doing all the arranging.The boiler fiasco took over 2 months and they charged the landlord for things that were completely unnecessary, resulted in water damage and cost 5x more than it needed to. They were that bad, the landlord arranged to cancel the contract with them. We thought that might be the end of our collective woes. Nope - since then their lack of attention has resulted in countless hours of negotiating with utilities suppliers as without our or the landlords consent they cancelled with our suppliers by authorising another company to switch us out.So in summary:They made every interaction frustrating and disappointing.They failed on 90% of every kpi They did not provide a service of any description beyond a basic inventory and handling our rent payment.They ignored emails and requestsAnd since leaving them they provided a final legacy of complexity for us to fix regarding our utilities.If I could give a minus star rating I would.The initial contact with the Chesterfield branch was ok, but as others have said, after signing you are shunted off to a bunch of people in Southampton who don’t care and have no concept of geography. Eg they sent plumbers from Burton on Trent, and Wakefield - to Chesterfield, but only after threatening with cost recovery and requesting the landlords details.
