Not very impressed

Used them to sell my parent’s house.Firstly, they overvalued the property, despite me saying it was too high and then when viewers felt it was overpriced came back to me saying I should reduce the price to the original figure I had suggested.Secondly, they changed their fees from a percentage to a fixed price which meant they no longer had to make any effort to obtain the best selling price.Thirdly, I accepted an offer which was conditional on taking the property off the market, once this was done the buyer promptly reduced the offer by 20k. Bizarrely my estate agent tried to persuade me into accepting the new offer. Suffice to say I didn’t accept but eventually had to take a revised offer as estate agent was reluctant to put house back on the market or contact other people who had previously made offers close to this figure.At the time I was living about 200 miles away and just felt I was being pressurised into selling.I even asked if they would consider reducing their fees given that the property was selling for well below their professional estimate but they refused.With hindsight I should have used another agent.They will sell your property but don’t expect too much else.I’m afraid I cannot recommend this company.

Bad communication, questionable property management and no consideration for tennant safety

I moved into a rented flat and Reeds Rains had stated that they had checked over the flat and it was fine to move in. To begin with they seemed responsive and sincere. Upon moving in we found a broken window which wouldnt close, a broken french door which didnt open, the flat was dirty, wardrobe was broken and floorboards were broken. We reported these issues immediately as the broken window posed a security risk. They sent a contractor a few days later who locked the window shut never to be opened again. We spent 6 months trying to get all of the above issues fixed. They still were not fixed when we moved out dispite us contacting them regularly.Whilst living in the flat we also encountered a leak. It took Reeds Rains a while to send anyone round to fix it and it still was not fixed when we moved out dispite the fact that they are contractually obligied to ensure that the property is water tight. Throughout this time our area coordiantor was either unavailable or provided false aknowlagment as non of the above issues were ever fixed dispite us chasing them up regularly and dispite our safety concerns. We were told to contact contractors and other flats to fix the issue ourselves.This was my first home and this exciting experience was filled with stress, worry and frustration. I moved out after 5 months as I could not face living there any longer.

Having not sold a house in many years I…

Having not sold a house in many years I wasn't too sure of the process. Glenn and Emily at the Stanley branch of Reeds Rains guided me through it with patience and an understanding of the reasons for the reluctant sale, making that process a great deal easier to get through, keeping me constantly up to date with progress.

Reeds Rains Letting Service…

We used Reeds Rains to let out our property. We currently do not live in the UK so everything was managed over the phone and via email. The team was always available to respond to calls and all correspondence via email was extremely efficient. We received a great service, highly recommend and know we have peace of mind that such a good team is in place managing our property long term 🙏👍👍👍

VERY POOR SERVICE!

VERY POOR SERVICE!One star too many !I rented a property from Reeds Reins and although the branch couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful there were lies from the beginning. I was not informed about the full condition of the property when moving in and soon experienced severe problems for my health (damp which is a risk for someone who is asthmatic). When I contacted the branch in relation to the damp issue they pretended not to know. The damp was that severe that whenever there was rain the basement would flood and due to the lack of insulation in the property it was colder in the property than outside the property in the middle of winter. Even though the landlord was ultimately to blame for the repair works the company didn’t chase him and should have put him on the rogue landlord list as he was out to make a quick buck and was HIGHLY unprofessional to the point of just turning up one night at nearly 10pm hammering the door like a thug as he brought round a ‘Christmas present’ and suddenly started getting repairs done, this was after threatening legal action due to the conditions. Over the 10 months I was in the property I had to call the management company numerous times but didn’t get anywhere. I constantly had to chase for things to be looked at and the different departments didn’t communicate with each other. The customer service agents at the management centre didn’t have a clue about basic maintenance queries, I rang up once as my radiators needed bleeding but due to a potential pressure issue needed this doing by a professional (as advised by a handyman). When I told this to the management company I was told that they couldn’t do anything and that I needed to contact my local water supplier. When you do get through to somebody they promise you callbacks from the relevant teams but the callbacks never happen. Even at the end of the tenancy I had to ring three separate times for updates and was promised all three times a call back from my ‘property manager’ but when I eventually managed to get through to her about a week later I was told I should have never been promised a call back. She the told me I would be updated with how the process was going however again I had to do all the chasing and had to ask for the inventory as this had NEVER been supplied to me. When the check out report was completed I was originally going to be charged for cleaning fees as the person who had carried out the check out report had never seen the inventory and couldn’t compare the two even though the property was a disgrace when I moved in.I also made a deal with the landlord to exit my contract 2 months early and pay a reduced rent.However when it came to a reference from them, they over exaggerated the amount I owed and made it seem like I owed a lot more than I did.This complicated matters with my with new estate agents, I had to explain to them the issues with reeds rains and the fact I was on a reduced rent, I felt embarrassed humiliated that reeds rains lied.I WILL NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN. If you want a smooth and easy process do NOT use them.

We purchased a property which was up for sale with reeds rain. They were very professional and couldn't do enough to help, We were kept up to date with the progress via an online portal. Karis within the branch would also call us weekly. If there were a any issues karis would resolve them straight away. We can't sing her praise enough, a real asset to reeds rain! Should we sell in the future reeds rain are the only estate agents we would consider.

Andy, Karis, Sarah and the rest of the team at Reeds Rains Bedworth are all very efficient and professional. They have recently handled a couple of property sales for us and we have found them all to be extremely helpful at all times and I would highly recommend using for any house sale or purchase you might be contemplating. They might not be the cheapest but in this case you definitely get what you pay for as i have experienced first hand with my purchase of another property the level of service you get from the cheaper agents.

Reeds Rains have been helping me to find tenants for my property for the last 4 years. Every step of the way, their professionalism, knowledge and processes have been outstanding. Whenever I have needed a new tenant they have gone above and beyond what I was expecting in relation to the service I paid for. Each tenant is fully vetted and every one has proved to be an excellent choice. It is always worrying when a new tenant is required, but their level of experience and the process that they have in place to find the perfect tenants has been outstanding. I cannot thank them enough for all of the help that they have given me over the last 4 years and would fully recommend their services to anyone seeking tenants for their property. I would particularly like to highlight Sarah Wisdom as the member of staff who has been my main contact - she always returns emails promptly and gives excellent advice regardless of the tenancy subject - a truly fabulous member of the Reeds Rains team and I cannot thank her enough.

Interfering sales agent put my purchase at risk

I bought a property through them over a year ago and I spotted an issue with the property during the viewing that I mentioned when I made my offer would need to be rectified before completion. My offer was accepted and the seller was dealing with resolving the issue with the building management company but it was taking time which was fine. The the agent for Reeds Rain involved himself because he was frustrated with the hold up which did't help anybody and kept trying to cajole me into accepting the problem and went so far as to lie to me and say the seller was going to withdraw the agreement to sell to me. I had the sellers details so I spoke to them directly and confirmed it was untrue which shows a lack of professionalism by the Reeds Rains agent in interfering in an issue that has a large monetary effect on an expensive purchase without requesting their involvement and attempting to blackmail me to drop it. No thanks to Reeds Rains I had the problem with the property fixed through my own efforts.

Extremely bad service!!!

Extremely bad service!!!I have been renting a house for more than 2 years at Chesterfield ( Derbyshire), when I ended the renting period they wanted to charge me for everything to obtain as much is possible from my deposit. Horrendous, I have been an honest and a great tenant and the house was inmaculate when I left. So I initiated a complain with Mydeposits.co.uk whichis dissapointing as they accept new complains from the agency once you submitted all the evidences ( dirty trick really, they work in partnership ). Nearly 3 months now and still I haven't received a penny from my deposit. This people don't have any respect for honest people. AVOID THEM!!!

VALUATION …Jade arrived ..Gentle in her approach

Jade arrived ..Gentle in her approach. Well researched and knowledgable. We really felt like we were in good hands. Importantly in a sensitive situation when emotional value is also attached to our bricks and mortar she was respectful but clear - just what we needed. Representing her crew with Openess in a situation most of us on experience very occasionally Great start Thanks

I would like to take the time to write…

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
