Liam and Keaton were brilliant

Liam and Keaton were brilliant, my dad had been flooded out and needed a new home they did everything they could to get him in his new place ASAP. They were sympathetic and very professional. Communication was great, I can't thank them enough. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely horrific

They had no regards toward us as a tennant or towards our landlady. They failed to get in touch with us when the contract was up for renewal, we had to constantly chase them. Our landlady opted for them to fully manage the property and do inspections. They never did as many as they were paid to but always kept taking a cut before the rent reached the landlady.When trying to hand our months notice in they declined it. Luckily I cross checked this with our contract and had to contact them again, which they did end up accepting in the end. Due to this delay we nearly lost the house we were moving into to a different couple. I contacted them via email and phone approx 5 times alone about where to hand the keys back as our local branch didn't exist anymore. Nobody seemed to have a clue. When it came to the deposit it took us nearly 2 months to get it back. The landlady hadn't disputed anything, they just hadn't bothered to contact the landlady or the TDS. We ended up raising a dispute, the TDS couldn't even get a response from them so ended up releasing the funds that way. They tried to over charge us on the overlap of rent which took me caused me waste further time emailing and calling. Early on in the contract they tried to charge me a fee to renew the contract despite the new legislation that came in regarding this. All the contact I had (or lack of) was with my property manager Ella Slack. Maybe the issues I experienced isnt company wide and are down to this one individual. However, if this is a case, I strongly recommend if managment see this review, you check the notes on the system and you will see how many time I called and emailed to move out of a property as requested by yourselves. Its not that I was even trying to leave mid contract, the landlady wanted to move back in and gave 2 months notice and I was just trying to adhere to that. I think it must have took what feels like 20 calls and emails to arrange this.

Reeds Rains Evesham If I could leave a zero star rating I would. During the process of finding a purchaser we were not advised of some viewings, told the wrong times and agent was late on more than one occasion. After getting an offer the progress chasing was non existent. Save your money and use someone like Purplebricks as you WILL be doing all the chasing. After trying to complain, they were aggressive and completely unhelpful. Absolutely shocking and we wish we never had anything to do with themUPDATE Your complaint procedure is about as useful as your contract ( which by the way, you never gave me a copy of) and you did not give me an opportunity to exhaust said procedure before bullying us into making payment of your commission.

Fraudsters

Reeds Rains Liverpool BranchI paid a holding deposit on behalf of my daughter, she had advised the agent that as she had no credit history on file it would probably fail and therefore offered to pay 6 months rent in advance. they told her that they would contact the landlord to see if this was acceptable. after confirmation that this was okay with the landlord we paid £137 holding deposit to secure the propery and take it off the market to which they did. After the credit check came back as failed (to which she had already advised it would) the agent then told her that they would not allow her to rent the property. The property was then put back on the market and my daughter contacted them again and told them that she had a Guarantor they still refused her application but now I have lost my holding deposit. Just to advise anyone else in a similar situation please know that it is unlawful to keep a holding deposit as stated on a lawyers website as follows; (A holding deposit is money paid when you’ve agreed to rent a property, but haven’t signed a contract. If you pay a holding deposit you’re guaranteeing you’ll take up the tenancy. If the agents accept it they’re guaranteeing they’ll let the property to you. Usually a holding deposit is set against a security deposit, or is refunded when you move in. If the agreement is cancelled, and it’s not your fault, the holding deposit should normally be returned to you). just to let you know Reeds Rains estate agents I will be taking this to Housing ombudsman services so I suggest you refund my money.

Reeds rains wrexham bad experience

Reeds rains wrexham, overall not a pleasant experience dealing with Simon. Travelled a long way to view a property, submitted two offers with no response, no willingness to negotiate on our behalf with the vendor. Recieved a voice mail to say property sold to a cash buyer who's offered considerably more (it wasn't, 5k more) then said 'ideal really'. Not what you want to hear when you think you have found your dream property. Both me and my partner found him rude and obnoxious on the phone. I'd go as far to say I would actively avoid purchasing a property listed by reeds rains Wrexham.

I recently purchased a house from Reid’s Rain Estate Agents in Ballyhackamore and the service I received from Martin Armstrong was first class. Martin was so helpful and always very quick to respond to any queries. If Martin had not liaised with solicitors involved I doubt a completion date would ever have been agreed! If selling or purchasing a house in the future I would not hesitate to use Martin again - Many thanks.

the Worst property agency in Liverpool I ever met

I complained about my bad experience in Reeds Rains many many times ( by phone, by email and in person ) but no one could offer any help. What happens ? The letting contract ended more than 1 month and I am asking for my 200 pounds deposit back. They ignored me. How can I get my money back ? What kind of customer service are they providing ?

The guys at Reeds Rains Ballyhackamore were very helpful throughout the process. I mostly dealt with Martin Armstrong who was always very attentive and quick to respond to any query I had. This was my first home purchase and these guys were very easy to deal with. I will definitely use these guys when it comes to selling my home.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Chorley Ignore your emails

Looking for somewhere to live is serious business. It’s really not appreciated when an estate agent does not bother to respond to your queries about a house that you’re seriously interested in. Before the response is “well why didn’t you just call?” - I am partially deaf and struggle on the phone. My preferred method of communication, where possible is obviously email. It’s been 3-4 weeks and I have heard nothing, and yes, I check my junk box.Unprofessional and disappointing.

This is hands down is the single worst company I’ve ever I’ve ever dealt with. Over the years I’ve had a whole host problems with inventory checks (they didn’t even take any photographs for my first inventory), the maintenance department and the billings team and the drafting of the tenancy agreement terms (which has changed during the pandemic but RR hadn’t updated). All the departments are fragmented. Anyone I ever speak to hasn’t the slightest clue what is going on, are never willing to help and just do their utmost to pass the issue to another clueless person in another department. While I see the sales side of this has positive reviews and that has alao been my experience. The lettings side is completely chaotic. Steer clear!

Tenants Beware!

Absolutely terrible letting agents. Maintenance line might as well not exist. They do not respond to issues reported or say they will call back and never do. We even had them "booking contractors" to attend but then not showing up during our tenancy. We were left with a leaking toilet for 10 months which ruined walls and carpets in three rooms. We have now lost some of our deposit due to their negligence through the mydeposits scheme they use. Damage caused by the leak has now left us out of pocket. Disgraceful and shameless company. We paid our rent, looked after the property and had it professionally cleaned upon check out. The house was riddled with damp from top to bottom and reported many, many times. Disgusted with the company.Stay well clear.

Reed Rains maintenance is awful

Reed Rains maintenance is awful! Simply the worst estate agent maintenance I've ever dealt with! They never get back to my emails, never get back to me when I call them when they say they will. I've contacted about the same issues many times with no response. If the landlord is rubbish, then at least the estate agent can get back to me saying they're still waiting on the landlord. Ridiculous service, avoid at all costs. They also didn't ask the landlord to fix a water leak in the toilet until after we moved in (flusher was leaking into toilet bowl so no damage).

Great Job

I used a different estate agent to try and sell my house in Pelaw. They let 3 buyers slip through their fingers even after having 3 acceptable offers on the table. So I decided to use Reed Rains instead. Sarah from the Jarrow Branch was very knowledgeable and professional their first 'prospect' viewed the property made an offer and purchased the property within 2 weeks of engaging Reed Rains. Thank you Sarah.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Bullies, liars and horrible people to deal with. I thought the head office team on the phone were bad until I had to deal with the branch staff. Utterly incompetent. Would never recommend this branch or use them to buy, sell and especially not rent. Watch out for Greg the manager he is your typical slimy, creepy salesman who lies to try get what he wants.

Oh well think again if you think they reply because I’ve not heard a single peep JUST like the Hanley Stoke on Trent branch who have been ignoring me for 5 weeks about my deposit…Not being kept in the loop, not being told what’s going on… at this point it seems like theyre ignoring me so they can illegally keep the depositI’ve had enoughWorst most vile company I’ve ever had the misfortune of working with!

BE WARNED ABOUT THESE THIEVES

The worst, most dishonest bunch of charlatans i have ever encountered. Landlords, take notice of the many, many terrible reviews on the web and don’t be another victim. In a nutshell, they won’t pay you. They will collect rent from your tenants and hold on to it. Send them your bank details, ask for a reason why they don’t pay. All will be either ignored or referred to another office in Southampton. I’ve turned up at their offices to try to spur them into paying me. I was told they have tens of thousands of pounds of MY MONEY in an account, but it’s “on hold”. Unfortunately, they don’t know why it’s on hold, they’re owed no money from me. It’s simply not worth investing in property if you use Reeds Rains for your letting agents. Don’t take just my word for it, DO YOUR RESEARCH. Currently going through their internal complaints procedure, then I’ll be reporting to Property Mark for dishonesty and the Ombudsman. I believe there are a great deal of outstanding cases against them. DONT BE THE NEXT VICTIM

Completely garbage, I wish I could give a negative mark, fail company, never work with them.

Never response to ANY enquiry, they will only contact you when they need payment from you for work, they will never follow any instruction, they are never taking any responsibility.Long time in the industry only let them know how to forbid any responsibility that they need to take, you are always only on the loose end.Try them if you are brave enough, at your own risk.I am now suffering and waiting to terminate their service
