House bought, no key supplied, no tenant deposit transferred

I bought this house almost 2 month ago, they are still telling me stories about my front door keys. They started off by giving me an impression that they have the keys and tried to get me to agree to them sending the keys by regular mail, even though I offered to pay for recorded delivery. They said they couldn't do recorded delivery because they did not have loose change at the office. I then paid for a courier to pick up the key. When the courier turned up they said that they did not have the keys. They held onto my tenant's deposit and has not paid it to me nor the tenant. They said they sent an email to the tenant but the tenant says she has not received it.

Very professional and allowed me to view a property at my convenience!

I arranged a viewing at quite short notice but they were very happy to let me view a property at a time to suit me.After my first offer being rejected, my second offer was accepted and any further viewing on the property were stopped. The whole process so far has been very professional.

tallulah-Mae and others that I’ve communicated with concerning the re- renting out of my mums property have not only been professional considerate efficient and knowledgeable ,Tallulah-Mae organised an open day for potential with the very pleasing result that she found the perfect tenants for the property before the previous tenants left meaning no long gap waiting for some interest ! I would thoroughly recommend Reed Rains When selling or renting out your property.

Exceptionally good

Very good indeed. A close focus on what the customer wants. All office staff kind and helpful. All RR agents who saw our house loved it and that genuine positivity made a difference. The pricing discussions were sensible and the brochure/Rightmove entry looked really good. Skilled & experienced guidance in the final sale negotiations was sharp.

Quite happy to see you homeless

I Agreed on a let with the Bamber Bridge office for a property in Bamber Bridge. I completed the application process and paid the admin fees. I gave notice on my current property and arranged a transfer of utilities etc.2 weeks before my moving date, they advised the landlord had changed his mind and cancelled my application. The olive branch was an offer of a property £300pcm more expensive.I'm now scrambling try to find somewhere to live as i'm working away next week and which leaves me a week before i'm homeless.Thanks for nothing.

Good service

I found the team at the Ashton under Lyne office very helpful during the purchase of a property. All questions and concerns were dealt with promptly and efficiently in a professional and pleasant manner. I felt supported throughout the process by Andrew and Devon in particular and also by Stephen.

To day I received a phone call from Reeds Rains the young lady was inquiring for a tenant or theirs that had a ceiling leak from my flat, I told her that I had plumber with me about that and that we had blanked the water off and would she mind if I call her back after we had organized the work, She said NO! and i find you very rude! I then said if you find that rude you will find it ruder when I cut you off Good bye!Footnote I find the level of service totally unacceptable. Ps I did call back giving a more pleasant lady the information they required.

Guisborough Reeds Rains - Fantastic!

Thoroughly recommend Guisborough Reeds Rains, the help and advice they gave us as first time buyers was brilliant! The girls in the Guisborough branch were always on hand keeping us on the right track at every turn, from searching for a property, processes, solicitors & arranging mortgage appointments. We felt like we were treat like family which made the whole process as first time buyers a lot better, would definitely look to use them again if ever needed.

Reedsrains at bamberbridge have put me through hell and are still doing it.I am vulnerable and disabled.And what I've heard the other day from a surveyor well its not good for me.Instead of reedsrains sorting the house and sorting the damp in 2019 they left it and it's got worse to the point that all the plaster as to come of the walls.The man said all furniture as to come out for the house to be done.I have no money for removals and no money to store my stuff in storage.I have 2 big tanks with my lizards in and I will have nowhere to live.I also have 2 dogs were am I meant to go and how am I meant to find all that money.I think im going to have to sue them.I feel so stressed and ill its unreal they are horrible people and have made life worse for me that I don't need as I have ptsd,Anxiety and depression along with osteoarthritis,fibromyalgia,diabetes and lots of other illnesses.I don't even know if the person that owns the house knows what's going on really.It was changed from a 2 bed to a 3 bed so one of the rooms can't fit a bed in,The other small room as a sewer pipe running through it on top of the floor boards and the main bedroom my room is full of damp.I am now on the settee sat up with legs up on a stool to go to sleep.I don't need all this.Please don't rent an house from them.Thanks for reading.I can't put a date of experience as it doesn't go bk that far.

Outstanding Customer Service …

I cannot fault the excellent service that I received from the staff at the Holmes Chapel branch of Reed Rains, especially Tallulah-Mae.Although in the end I did not actually use their branch to purchase a property, their help and advice on a number of occasions was not only very professional but delivered unconditionally. I could highly recommend them as not only being ethical but very friendly and sincere in their approach to customer service.

Fully managed service-I let my property with Reeds Rains just over 12 months ago, I have since had nothing but issues with them, they never respond to emails, when you do call to speak to someone they are rude towards you, to the point where I received an email from a manager apologising for their member of staff behaviour, then they give you incorrect costly information, they are happy to pay themselves but not the landlord. I would avoid using these at all costs.I would like to add that I have had to escalate my complaint and still I am receiving any responses from this company. Please do not use them to manage your rental property.

Very welcoming and understanding staff

I was given brilliant service by Reeds Rains when I went into their St Helens branch looking for a place to rent. One of the staff there Ellie made me feel very welcome and helped me out massively. Ellie was very patient and accommodating to my situation, spared no detail when explaining the processes necessary for a first time renter. Would highly recommend this estate agent to anyone who needs to start renting a property

Rude, pushy & unprofessional

It’s difficult to know where to start as almost each interaction with the Chester branch was disappointing and stressful. My partner and I bought our first home through Reeds Rains and both vowed never to use them again. The branch manager Nina is either super friendly or extremely abrupt, before you can explain why you are calling she barks “what can I do for you”. Customer service training certainly wouldn’t go amiss. We had a survey carried out and it was recommended that we carry out further investigations to determine whether there was asbestos in the artex ceilings. Nina dismissed the surveyor’s comments, saying she’d never heard anything like it and suggested we find a new surveyor!We paid for a separate asbestos survey and hey presto, they found asbestos in the artex ceilings and in the garage. Nina told us that as we’d only tested 2 rooms, there was no evidence that there was asbestos in all the ceilings (even though each ceiling has identical artex design). We later discovered that after slating our surveyor, Nina is now passing him a lot of work.We put our offer in on the house in January and naturally due to lockdown, nothing happened for several months. The house needed so much work that we had to arrange for tradespeople to enter the property in order to assess the work required and provide a quote.We managed to secure a local builder who agreed to visit the house. He was given assurance by Reeds Rains that they would be at the office at 9am the following day to hand over the keys. The next day at 9.15am, the builder rang me to say he arrived at Reeds Rains office but it was closed. The builder said he was too busy to rearrange so I had to find another builder. That wasn’t easy as every man and his dog were renovating their houses during lockdown. After complete radio silence for months (& no apology for leaving our builder stranded), when we were trying to arrange an exchange date (which happened to be the beginning of August), we were inundated with telephone calls. I had one very unpleasant call just before I attended a funeral, demanding to know why we had put the date back one week. I was told that “the sellers wouldn’t be happy”. The rudeness and aggressive manner of the agent was quite shocking to say the least.Our solicitor also told me that they’d been phoning him constantly and were rude and demanding. We both came to the conclusion that Reeds Rains wanted the sale to go through in order for them to meet their month end targets.Our experience should have been exciting and happy, but it was stressful and at times, rather upsetting. Sadly I would not recommend this estate agent (my review concerns Chester branch, other branches may have friendlier staff who don’t harass people).

Never rent from ReedsRains!

Never rent from ReedsRains!Their fragmented departments make it impossible at times to get any fluidity to responses. Constantly late in terms of dealing with return of payments, they often mis-calculating amounts and show a complete lack of empathy with any issues raised. Their Hub is particularly bad at customer service and I feel they are only out to get as much money out of you as possible. They prefer you to over pay then claim reimbursement, however getting the money back is an absolute nightmare. At branch level they complete dismiss responsibility and tell you to contact the faceless Hub if you have issues. Both these elements of the business do not seem to be well coordinated at all. Maintenance issues are not dealt with promptly.They often shun responsibility and you end up chasing your tail trying to get an answer. Horrible company with terrible morals!I would honestly never take a house rented by them under any circumstance again.

Reeds Rains Wrexham

Reeds Rains Wrexham. If I could give zero stars here I would. Currently renting a property via this Agent and are treated with a complete lack of courtesy and in fact disdain. Correspondence is completely un-professional , abrupt and to be frank rude.Reeds Rains, the rent gets paid on time every month, the property is kept in superb condition, by us, and has been cleaned (it was filthy) and improved by us, your second class citizen customer.Maybe some staff training could improve this but I would simply avoid if possible.

Stunning sales service

When you entrust your house sale to Estate agents it’s usually a nervous , stressful time . With the Congleton branch of outstanding professional women the service is second to none . The gentleman in branch not the same level of service ......Every woman within the business I’ve spoken to throughout my unusual property, have guided me from start to finish ....Katie is my main point of contact and I can recommend Her as the perfect agent , without her by house would not have had the footfall re viewings ....

To determine our home's value for sale

To determine our home's value for sale, I completed a Zoopla form that forwarded our information to several local estate agents for valuation. Reeds Rains Cheadle branch contacted me by phone and gathered personal details and property information during a seven-minute call. They scheduled an appointment a few days later. However, I received a subsequent call indicating they could only value the property if it was listed immediately.In summary, they collected all necessary information but failed to achieve the primary objective, resulting in a waste of time and unprofessional behaviour on their part.

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

Great team, personal yet professional

The team at the Stockton branch are just fantastic. Handled my sale professionally and efficiently, always keeping me up to date with the process. Andrea in particular was always helpful and friendly when giving me updates and happy to gently push the other side when necessary. Highly recommended.

Great Service

Reeds Rains have been amazing so far. I have dealt with Mark and Nicole so far both who are very friendly. The process has been super quick, my house went up for sale on their website on the Friday and an offer accepted on the Saturday. Just waiting for the legal side of things to happen now so fingers crossed for no issues!
