FOR THE ATTENTION OF REEDS RAINS

FOR THE ATTENTION OF REEDS RAINS - CUSTOMER SERVICE.First of all we notice that Reeds Rains customer service can not get our name correct, our name is Anderson and we have never been known by Andrew?So if you are going to get in touch with us about our experience around the lack of customer service from your Reeds Rains - Prescot office in Merseyside, then please get our name correct?Our experience that we received from your Reeds Rains - Prescot office in Merseyside, was lacking in customer service on all counts.We saw this house on the Saturday the 18th of March at 10.35 a.m., and we put our offer in on the same day!!We did wait over 3 weeks to see this house, and we did put in an offer for this house, but the staff did nothing to confirm to the vendor completely our position that we were in to buy the house. We had everything to go and we were in a very strong position!!Only to find after all our efforts that the vendor went for another person`s offer? We could have gone higher with our offer, but Reeds Rains - Prescot Merseyside never asked us at all? We also waited over 3 weeks to see the house concerned, and so there was a delay for anyone viewing the house!This caused us more stress, upset, and annoyance and at the end our time was wasted!The experience we received from the staff at Reeds Rains - Prescot Merseyside, was real and it happened,. We have not lied and we have told the truth.If anyone from Reeds Rains - Customer Service wants to speak with us directly then you can telephone us, but we are not going to argue on what happened to us! We are the ones that were on the end of the lack of customer service from your Reeds Rains - Prescot Merseyside office, and this did not happen to anyone in Reeds Rains customer service either?Our write up for the Reeds Rains - Prescot Merseyside office has been here since the 18th of March, and you are only now asking us questions about our experience, from your Reeds Rains Customer Service office only now?Please do not keep sending us messages asking us questions about our experience from your Reeds Rains - Prescot Merseyside office, as you can contact us directly and ask us the same questions directly, instead of doing this from behind an email only?Trustpilot is here so members of the public can write down their experiences of customer service they have had from companies, and so that any general members of the public can read the write ups, and decide for themselves if they are going to use a company for themselves or not.So therefore we are not going to change our write up that we have written on the Reeds Rains - Prescot Merseyside office.We do not intend to use any Reeds Rains estate agents, for anything at anytime in the future due to the lack of customer service.The service we received lacked in customer service, and it was unprofessional.If anyone was sincere in Reeds Rains Customer Service, you do not wait for over a week to respond to a customers complaint from way back in March 2023, when we are now in May 2023? The normal response would be to contact the customer direct and get from the customer what happened, to them from the estate agent concerned.As that has never happened the experience we received from the Reeds Rains - Merseyside Prescot office, will continue from the Reeds Rains - Merseyside Prescot office, has nothing is done about it?

UNPROFESSIONAL AND LACKING IN CUSTOMER SERVICE.

We had an appointment to view a house in Prescot - Merseyside, on the Saturday the 18th of March, but there was a delay of 3 weeks from the original appointment, which was put back by 3 weeks to view the house.When making the appointment to view the house, the estate agency Reeds Rains in Prescot, wrote down the wrong email address and so therefore we never got a confirmation of the viewing appointment for the house.This meant we then had to ring back to the Reeds Rains - Prescot office, and get them to amend the email address, and resend us a confirmation email confirming the viewing of the house in Prescot - Merseyside.We noticed yet again, Reeds Rains - Prescot, does not like to communicate by phone if they can avoid it!!Surprise Surprise, the estate agency is Reeds Rains - Prescot office!!People renting the house needed an extra 10 days to move out, then the vendor took another whole week to tidy up the house, and not anyone at Reeds Rains, then phoned us and confirmed the viewing was still on for the Saturday the 18th of March 2023?We had to phone Reeds Rains- Prescot office to check that the viewing was still on?!!Sadly when we saw the house, which had the roof of the porch off, which was flung in the back garden, no side gate on the side of the house leading to the garden, no front drive gates on the driveway, no doors on any rooms in the house either!!We could see what the house would look like with our care put into restoring the house back up again, even the garden was crazy with unlevel layers of the garden lawn, but we looked past that, and could see the house looking what it would like with our restoration done to it!!We asked before attending the viewing if the vendor was after the asking price only, to that question, we got "The vendor was after the asking price only".So we put in our offer of full asking price!!We waited over 5 days, and then the Reeds Rains - Prescot office decides to ring My husband on his mobile phone while he is at work, to tell him the vendor has gone for a higher offer.There was no conversation to My husband, can you possibly go higher with your offer for the house?The conversation from the Manager was abrupt, and very short!!My husband was not able to read emails, or make any calls or send any text messages at all, from work.When we ring the Reeds Rains - Prescot office the Manager concerned could not understand why we were phoning to ask what the answer was to our offer?The Manager`s reply was "Has your husband not given you the message"?My reply to that was "How can he do that, when he can not make phone calls from work, that is why I am phoning now and asking you the Manager yourself"?When we corrected the Manager, by informing him they had our landline phone number to call us at home in the first place with the answer to our original offer to the vendor?We pointed out to the Manager, that if we had been told that our offer for this house was accepted, we could easily now say we have changed our minds on this house in Prescot due to the delays on trying to see the house, and answers as to if our offer for this house in Prescot was accepted?58 people showed interest in this house, only 3 parties gave offers, we gave the full asking price, yet the vendor, went for a higher figure from another purchaser?!!!This Reeds Rains - Prescot office of estate agents did not ring us back and even ask us if we could go higher with our offer at all?We had to keep ringing them over everything, and they hardly rang us once.The end result was we never bought any house with Reeds Rains - Prescot office, even though we tried to purchase one!!A very unprofessional Reeds Rains - Prescot office, who failed to produce a house, even though we were in a very strong position to purchase a house.Yet again, Reeds Rains, still keep acting and behaving in unprofessional manners, and no customer service at all.Again our advice still is do not use Reeds Rains - Prescot office to purchase or rent a house.To Reeds Rains - customer service,Our experience of the Reeds Rains Prescot Office was real, and it actually happened to us.We quite simply made an offer for a house, and no one came back and even asked us if we could go higher with our price for the house either?There was a delay of 3 weeks on seeing the house, and that did not help either. Our write up has been here since the 18th of March 2023, and you are only now asking us what happened? We have told the truth and not lied. The way we were treated was not okay, and on the whole when you are trying to buy a house that process was then made more difficult via the estate agent concerned which was Reeds Rains from Prescot.If you want to ring us and speak with us directly then you can do so, but we are not going to start arguing about what happened to us, from the service we received from your estate agent in Prescot. The West Derby office, was similar.

Reeds rain.

Reeds rain.. cowboy company that cannot be trusted. Very quick to make things happen when it suits them yet takes incredible amount of time getting through and dealing with issues. One thing after another.. blame landlord or blame letting agency for being slow? Boiler been out several months, once it was ‘fixed’ after returning 3 times to resolve the issue it then turned into a fire hazard and the best they can do is constantly delay it and avoid the matter. Everyday since I have moved into this apartment has caused me nothing but problems, problems they should’ve dealt with prior to moving in.. forcing me to deal with it and go out my way costing me my time, job and peace. Would not recommend. Lucky I still have a roof over my head for 2 stars.

Martin looked after the sale of my house and was fantastic from start to finish. Constantly kept me in the loop with regular updates, followed up on any questions or issues I raised and was generally just great to deal with overall. Highly recommend reeds rains and Martin in particular. Made moving house as stress free as it could be.

All the staff at Reeds Rains Rhyl are very friendly and professional especially Tom and Leah. They were always there ready to resolve any problems we had with our sale. We were continuously kept informed every step of the way.We couldn't ask for better service and would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to sell their property. Doreen Miller

The Reeds Rains staff in Rhyl branch are generally very good, especially Katie, who is extremely committed, professional and helpful. As a Landlord however, I cannot say the same of the centralised maintenance division of Reeds Rains and I would not recommend nor use them again myself. Hence my reason for not awarding 5 stars to Reeds Rains in general.

Refusing to pay back my deposit

I moved out a property managed by the Catford branch 5 months ago and they are refusing to pay back my deposit. The amount is not disputed by either party. My tenancy ended in January and I gave them the required 1 month notice that I would not be renewing the contract and gave them the new tenants details. They say they cannot release my deposit until the new contract is signed. However, they have taken half a year(!) to do the required checks (PAT, fire etc) before they will release a contract. Communication has been awful, bounced around people and branches with no taking responsibility to resolve this. Often I was gave the wrong information or told I would be called back and never was, multiple emails ignored. I have now been through three stages of the complaint procedure with still no resolution so I've raised it with the Property Ombudsman. DO NOT USE THESE LETTING AGENTS IF YOU ARE A TENANT. No one at the company cares about your rights.

Received exceptional service from Huddersfield Reeds Rains branch from start to finish. Special thanks to Ronnie who assisted me with the house purchase. Extremely happy with the high level of customer service, professionalism and readiness to help. Ronnie had thorough knowledge about the house and answered all my questions, also he verified my proof of funds therefore speeded up the whole process. Thanks also to Tracey in the huddersfield office she was very helpful and dealt with everything in a prompt and efficient manner. Very grateful and really appreciate the exemplary service I received. Thank you so much.

Out of several estate agents contacted Reeds Rains were the only agent to contact me personally and at a time that suited me as I am not a UK resident.

Reeds and Rains run an extremely efficient, effective business. The staff are professional and make what can be a stressful process less so! I would like to thank Alan, Fiona and Pat for their hard work and dedication to allow house sales to process as smoothly as possible with a positive outcome.

The Team at Reeds Rains Didsbury offer an Excellent Service

The Team at Reeds Rains Didsbury have been there for me even before I put my property on the market. Their support and guidance on market conditions and the industry was invaluable, they were honest and very helpful. Elly was my go to, she is outstanding. During the viewing stage their communication was excellent. Not just an auto email but regular calls to discuss progress and feedback. I'm delighted that my property has now sold, STC, and again, David the Manager called and his exact words "it's my job to help and support you through the sale now, i'll do everything I can to help". And he's stuck to his word, just superb! It's so refreshing to get such great customer service. Big thank you to all at Reeds Rains Didsbury.

Just completed our house sale this week with Reeds Rains and we had a very positive experience. From initial meeting, to photography and viewings and finally the completion, it was a smooth and hassle free experience. Alan and Pat were great to work with, thank you both for helping us sell the home you helped us buy many years ago!

It’s all about the buyers, stuff the paying customer!!

I am writing this review from the vantage point of two separate house sales - our own home and assisting my parents house sale.All was good in the early stages of both sales until it came to sorting out a moving date and on both occasions (different estate offices) the clear priority was to only help the buyers and not give much (if any) help to the seller (the reeds rain customer who actually pays!). On both occasions we were bullied to meet the demands of the buyers, regardless of how ridiculous the time frames were being asked.During the day of our move we were constantly nattered by phone and text (7 calls) to see if we had left the property as the buyers were wanting to get in.If you are selling a home I would not recommend reeds rains one bit, in my experience they just added to the stress.

Could not rate the Reeds Rains Ballyhackamore highly enough! Especially Martin and Fiona who kept me updated along the way! Martin knows the property market well! Number of viewers, offers made, etc, they successfully sold my house! Thank you kindly and I would use your services again!

I bought my new build house through Reeds Rains and the experience was very positive. Martin kept me informed throughout the whole process, he responded promptly to any queries I had, he arranged several viewings to the house for me, he was very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend Reeds Rains if buying or selling.

Our house was sold very quickly but unfortunately the buyer changed their mind. The staff at Reeds Raine were very supportive and immediately started sending other buyers to see our property. We have now got a new buyer at a better price so fingers crossed this sale will do through.

Yet again nothing done to sort my issue going on since MAY

Yet again introduced to someone who said they can help look at my issues that have been going on for months and so far they have done absolutely nothing, don’t reply they are so rude!!! Since May this has been going on, was meant to have rent increased in May said they can only do it in September! And guess what still not happened. Promised they would fix it and get back to me and nothing at all! No reply!! So so RUDE and have no interest in correcting their mistakes! Can’t afford my mortgage hence why we asked for a rent increase, since MAY this has been going on. Tenant was expecting new amount to be taken and reedsrains haven’t done anything at their end!!! SHOCKING stay away

Worst estate agent we have experienced and been renting for years

We have been renting for over 7 years in 6 different properties and our current property managed by Reeds Rains has had the poorest customer service.From moving into the property in November with no heating working and a toilet continuously leaking water into the bowl they have been poor with communication, property maintenance and actually being present in the office. The amount of times you have to call to actually get the phone answered. We ended up receiving a water bill for approx £1000 because of the water leak which we had to sort with the water company. We again have no heating in our property for 3 days and back to the same poor communication and nobody answering the phone or responding to emails.Just avoid. Have had excellent experience with other local estate agents, but the Didsbury branch in Manchester is ridiculous.

If you want to waste your time on the market, recieve no support from the agent. Have them make up contracts. Never have staff to do viewings and end up taking your own photos of your property on your iphone and have them not let you leave them as an agent when you raise the issues. Reeds rains Hull is the agent for you.

Don’t touch with a barge pole!!

Truly awful experience…so unprofessional. Total lack of communication. On completion day, went to drop keys in and office was all locked up! We had been in a few days before to make sure of arrangements and were told there would be someone in their office at all times on completion day. Eventually Luke arrived - he had been for lunch, but there was no-one to cover…unbelievable on a Friday, the most popular day of the week for moving house. Whoever is the manager in Chester needs to realise that we are paying good money for a service, when it shouldn’t be unreasonable to expect someone to actually be on the premises to receive keys from their customers. It gets worse…our buyer went later to collect the keys and the shop was locked up again! It’s 5:30pm now and they still haven’t been able to get the keys. No phone calls to either ourselves or our buyers before hand to explain what was going on - we had to do all the chasing to find out why we were being let down. Begs the question ‘what are we paying for?’ Please avoid this Estate Agent.

Professional and Well Organised Team

Simon inspired a great deal of confidence in Reeds Rains due to his professionalism and well rationalised valuation.Kurtis was excellent at building a relationship quickly with viewers.I was also impressed at the seamless process. The property was up for sale in a matter of days from the first meeting.
