TrustpilotMyself and my husband a viewed a property…
Myself and my husband viewed a property through Reeds Rein last week. I wanted to pass on how great our experience was with Louise who did our viewing. Louise was professional, but friendly, honest and knowledgeable, and did not rush us through the viewing. We have viewed houses previously and I honestly can say Louise was one of the best we have dealt with. She is a credit to your team. We have made our decision about the house, and how we would like to proceed. I know Louise is going to be in touch soon, so will look forward to speaking with her.
Hi Emma - Thank you for your kind review, if you can let me know which branch you had dealings with I will pass on your review to Louise. We are always trying to improve our services and take any and all feedback very seriously. Could you tell us what we needed to do to get the full 5 stars?Kind regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotRude estate agent
Today I accompanied my mum to a house viewing and the estate agents showing us around was awful. For the first few minutes that we were in the house she was perfectly pleasant and professional. However, after a conversation between my mum and I where we indicated that the kitchen and garden may be too small for my mum’s needs, the member of staff very quickly became rude and dismissive of everything we said, and her entire demeaner changed to one of irritation. After seeing the downstairs, I asked my mum if she wanted to look upstairs. Before my mum could even answer, your member of staff cut her off with a very sharp “What’s the point in looking upstairs if you’ve already decided it’s wrong?”. Firstly, we hadn’t decided that it was “wrong”, we were just commenting on things as we saw them (we also made lots of positive comments). Secondly, I was addressing the question to my mum because she has mobility issues, and what I was really asking her was “are you physically comfortable enough to go upstairs today?”, which my mum knew, but didn’t get the chance to answer because she was very rudely cut-off. Thirdly, if we’ve travelled there to see the house, we’re going to want to see all of it. That should be common sense. After seeing the rest of the house and making lots of positive comments, we were discussing it in the downstairs hallway. It was obvious that the estate agent just wanted us to leave, she had clearly decided that we were wasting her time. When discussing the garden, mum said that she ideally wanted something bigger. The estate agent asked where mum lived, and then snapped “Well, the garden you’ve got is like a postage stamp!” which was very rude and totally irrelevant. Mum had already explained that she has mobility issues, and now she explained it again, stating that the reason she wanted a bigger garden than what she has now is because she’s struggling to walk to dogs and she wants them to have a big garden to be able to run around in. My mum shouldn’t have to explain her motivations of her criteria for a house to the estate agent, especially when she had already told the member of staff that she has a disability. That is none of the estate agent’s business! We both loved the house and mum is considering putting an offer in, but staff should be trained to a better standard than that.

TrustpilotMacclesfield Office - Impressively bad service for a renter...
Macclesfield office and maintenance should hang their heads in shame!After 3 days in a rented property the plaster fell off the wall of my twin 2 year olds bedroom - the next day we had Reeds Rains contractors round who declared it was damp from a hole in the roof. I offered to pay for the fix on the day to protect my children but was not allowed as it had to go through our landlord and Reeds Rains.For 4 months we chased Reeds Rains, their maintenance team (based in Southampton with no access to a phone for 3 months despite never being available as they were 'on another call' when we contacted the maintenance team). Children were sick regularly, we taped the wall up, took our sick children into the office to prompt action...lots of sympathy and promises from various people but zero action or communication to explain why nothing was happening. We escalated our complaint after researching (as nobody in the process shared our possible next steps), 3 months later our landlord told Reeds Rains maintenance company he would not be fixing our roof or wall and he was angry at us as previous tenants hadn't complained. The maintenance company disappointingly told us this was the end of the process and there was nothing they could do - despite him obviously breaking his contractual obligation to four rot free walls and a roof.After almost 4 months of a young family living in a damp house and paying full rent whilst chasing people on a daily /weekly / monthly basis it got fixed for less than 3/4 of our monthly rent.Ongoing issues after 5 months include:*Bath not attached to the floor and fell on my mother in law 5 months ago - not fixed*Washing machine broke - not fixed*Dishwasher broke - not fixed*Fireplaces not attached to floor or walls - not fixedStill paying £1200 a month for this bargain and service - as a renter I suggest you avoid this company as they have not supported us, shared any information, expressed an interest in our welfare beyond taking our money and passing on our landlords cut.
Hello Vincent,Thank you for your comments and I am genuinely sorry to hear the problems that you have experienced with maintenance since moving into the property. When a maintenance issue is reported, our Maintenance Department have to take steps to gain the authorization from the Landlord to proceed with the works and then engage with a contractor. In this instance, this process did take longer than we would have hoped and was due to the original contractor having to be removed from the job. This meant that we had to begin the process again with a new contractor. I am pleased to hear that these works are now completed. Regarding the other issues that you have raised, I can see that we have approached the Landlord for the authorization to get these issues resolved. I trust that our Maintenance Department will be in contact soon and hopefully with a more positive outcome for you.Kind regards,Reeds Rains - Macclesfield

Regarding the Salford Quays branch.They refused to comply with a request for our landlords address in line with Section 1 of the Landlord & Tenant Act 1985. Explicitly stated that the request was in line with this act and still declined.Requested a "relisting" fee, we came to an agreement to move out of the property early due to antisocial and criminal behaviour from a behaviour. When asked for an invoice and an itemised cost of the fee, this was also refused. £350 + VAT was requested to "relist" the property.Money was taken from our deposit to pay for a skip so a new drive could be laid. We were informed that "Rubbish had been left in the bins and a skip was needed to remove it" (unsure why the bins couldnt be put out for the bin man). We have since been back to the property and have seen a whole new drive has been laid. We are now being threatened with small claims court for the relisting fee. We are still in arbitration regarding the outstand part of our deposit that was not returned.Complaints have been made to Salford City regarding there practices and inability to follow tenancy law.Avoid.

TrustpilotGreat estate agents
Great estate agents. Customer Service was fab. Leah and Tom were both very helpful and kept me up to date and chased solicitors etc. On the day of completion there was an issue with the funds being released and it was late in the day when we got the keys but Tom arranged for them to be dropped off as soon as funds had cleared. I wouldn't hesitate to use them if I move again.

TrustpilotDeposit not returned
Moved out of a property over 2 weeks ago, no deposit returned even though full return was authorised by the landlord. No communication from the office, no one replies to emails honestly shocking from all departments. We have even been chased for rent that is not due. Our deposit seems to have disappeared into thin air and no one will get in contact with us from Reeds Rains Didsbury, we are horrified at the whole process with them. We received an email to say our deposit was no longer being protected over a week ago, but it has not been returned to us since it was sent, so where is it? DO NOT USE THIS LETTING AGENTS

GoogleWe were looking to rent a property in Ashton-under-Lyne and booked a consultation with Andrew at Reeds Rains. Andrew has excellent local knowledge and clearly knows every area in Ashton-under-Lyne. We agreed on a suitable rent very quickly, and the flat was secured shortly after. Amy supported us throughout the entire process. She was extremely helpful, providing daily updates on viewings and sharing clear shortlists, which made everything easy and transparent. Overall, the service was professional, efficient, and well organised. We highly recommend Reeds Rains Estate Agents in Ashton-under-Lyne.

TrustpilotWorst agency I have come across
I've rented with some bad agencies in the past, but these guys are on another level. Several cases of mistaken identity - had repair jobs turn up at my door stating my name and house number when I hadn't called anyone.Communicated with us over a move date and then a week before tried to claim we hadn't given notice. Nearly last two months rent as a result, which we had to fight for.On moving out they picked on every spec of dust and blamed us for damages that were already there. They lost email communications from us, which led to issues on the moving out period as above.They promised to fix spelling errors in our names on contract, but then refused and stated it's because our official documentation arriving in the country was wrong - still can't believe that one.All in all a terrible experience... Avoid!
Hi Ken,Sorry to read your review - we would like to investigate this further for you. You will receive a request for more information via Trustpilot.Regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotFrom the word go
From the word go, they were very friendly and professional. And gave a sense of knowledge in the hopeful sale of my property, which only took several weeks and was over the asking price. Wouldn't recommend anyone else!
