GoogleHad a smooth process viewing, applying and moving into a rental property through Reeds Rains. There was regular contact from the lettings manager Naoimh to keep us updated on the progress of our application and help with any queries once we'd moved into the property.
Thanks Sean, enjoy your new home. Team RR

GoogleWhat a great experience selling our house with reeds rain and in particular Grainne. Gráinne really was excellent to deal with keeping us up to date with everything and the most important thing to us was in a timely manner . Phone calls were responded to and emails answered and nothing was any trouble . Really can’t say enough good things about the entire experience and thank you again Gráinne .😃

TrustpilotNew beginnings!
Let me give you some background first, my girlfriend and I had been living in a mouldy, cramped up tiny box bedroom at my toxic mums place where we were giving way too much for rent for where we was. After countless of knock backs being rejected for places around Cleethorpes, Immingham and Grimsby, but our first time dealing with Reeds Rains we now have our own place to call out own, and all thanks to the team at Grimsby town. A very special thanks to all the staff working there! I myself really appreciate everything they did! I highly recommend!
Hi Issac,Thank you for you review! Wishing you all the best in your new home!Regards,Reeds Rains

GoogleWe were very happy with how Reid Rains conducted the purchase of our house. In particular Grainne was always professional, courteous and knowledgeable. She is extremely experienced and provided clear answers to all our queries as well as useful advice. We would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Reid’s Rains, Ormeau Road branch.
Thanks for the feedback. Team RR

TrustpilotGosforth Team
The team at Gosforth Newcastle are knowledgeable about the area and the market. I have used their services for several years. Their strength , in my opinion , is their ability to deal with queries and problems quickly. They are always easy to reach by phone and email and a pleasure to talk to. Thank you Kirsty, Phil and Maddie.

TrustpilotReeds Rain Blackpool - poor Customer Service and Liars
Reeds Rains Blackpool provide a shocking service to tenants/potential tenants. I viewed a property on Saturday and emailed after the viewing to say I was interested but needed the remnants of the previous tenant removing (including dirty pillows and shower gel) and some electrical things checking to confirm they all were in satisfactory working order. I expected at least an email to thank me for my interest but nothing so I called and left a message for the negotiator to call me back. No return call so I called again and was told by the other lettings person that the landlord had rejected my interest with no explanation available. The negotiator, Hannah, had left at this point. I left a message for her to call the following day and still no contact. I rang two more times and finally got to speak to her but she though being told no was satisfactory with no explanation. I said she was meant to negotiate with me and the landlord as without a tenant there is no let. I agreed to store the tat in the cellar and asked her to go back to the landlord. We then got cut off and I rang back and her colleague refused to transfer the call! I advised the Hannah was taking my details (again) and was going to speak to the landlord. She then put me on hold without warning and then came back to say that half an hour ago, the landlord had called to say that their friend was taking on the house. I left it here, but my partner called up today to show interest int he property and was told it was still available! So not only is the customer service atrocious, they are liars too! Avoid at all costs.

TrustpilotThis is not okay
This is not okay. Along with the horrendous service I got with moving in, the staff at Reeds Rains Liverpool were meant to organise a maintenance and clean for after I moved in. Last week, I received a text from the contractor and I asked if they could come on Friday. On Friday, nobody came. When I called them, they sent me to voicemail. When I reached out on Monday to ask what happened, the contractor explained that they were unwell. No bother, I asked them to come on Wednesday. After some texts and emails, I received no confirmation that they would be at my flat on Wednesday. In none of those correspondence did the contractor once say “Yes, I’ll be with you on Wednesday morning,”. Today, Wednesday morning, I woke up to missed calls and texts asking where I was. How was I meant to know they would come to me on Wednesday when they didn’t even confirm that at all? When I called the contractor, her attitude was horrible. She said, “Do you want to keep going over the fact that there’s been a communication breakdown or do you want to get a cleaning booked?” before also saying that Reeds Rains only told her about two repairs that needed to be done. This contrasts the higher number of repairs that needed to be done in the property report, one of which was my bathroom sink plunger not working so now my sink is a Petri dish and has been since the weekend. I called up Reeds Rains and spoke with Oliver who said, “We can either find a new contractor or you’re going to have to grin and bear it with these ones,”. I had asked to be called back yesterday by Reeds Rains and I wasn’t. I have asked to be called back today and, as of 3:30pm, I haven’t been. Overall, horrible service from a supposed “full service property management” company and its contractors.

GoogleGreat experience with Reeds Rains, we bought our property through them and later used their letting service. They found tenants quickly and kept us updated throughout. Ethan and Naioamh were both helpful and professional. Highly recommend!

TrustpilotVery poor experience with Reeds Rains…
Very poor experience with Reeds Rains Stockton-on-Tees. We travelled over 3.5 hours for a confirmed viewing, but the agent arrived late and the tenant refused access, clearly showing the viewing had not been properly arranged. We waited for hours with no communication or callback from the branch despite being promised one. A completely wasted 7-hour round trip, loss of earnings, and very unprofessional service. Would not recommend.

TrustpilotGreat service and professionalism.
It was a great experience dealing with Reeds Rains. I just landed in UK and I struggled a lot in finding a place as per my need, but special call out to Gurdit for his attitude and professionalism to make this deal for me. I dealt with Many agents before when I was here last time but Team Reeds Rains is best in every aspect be it responding to calls, emails and top class service. Thank you Gurdit and Team, much appreciated.

Don't pay any holding deposit until when they say, think and make sure the property is correct. they will not return you deposit and talk to you with no respect.Alex from Stoke on Trent is the worst person to deal with and he is manager of branches in stoke.

If you would like to provide more information regarding your experience with us please email marketing@reedsrains.co.uk and we will be able to look into this matter further. Kind Regards

TrustpilotBest lettings agents in the area - Gosforth
The staff at reeds rains Gosforth couldn't have made our renting experience any easier. From the viewing all the way up until us moving into the property they have been helpful in anyway they could, even down to recommending companies to help us move with us not being from the area. Big shout out to Phil and Kirsty!

My Initial Call with Lucy was warm and welcoming, she was able to accommodate myself for a viewing soon as due to my work schedule, ever since Lucy has followed up and has been nothing but above and beyond for myself and my wife, she has kept us in the loop from start to finish I would definitely highly recommend anyone to approach Lucy as I am confident that you will receive the highest level of service that we have received I am grateful for the fast and efficient process to renting my home. Once again perfect service from Lucy and the team.

TrustpilotPoor service, Beautiful properties
I rented a lovely property though Reid Raines for nearly two years with no issues with payment from myside. Me and my partner purchased our first mortgage and vacated the property in December 16th 2022 in line with our contract with all payments made to the penny. We are now on the 24th Jan 2023 and I am still chasing my deposit down which my landlord paid back the full amount to Reid Raines. The issue is no fault of my own but an admin issue between the deposit company and the estate agents not responding to each other. Sue is a manager at the Liverpool branch who often sighs down the phone and talks with an aggressive tone when asked for updates. I work in the customer service industry in a senior management position so I know how to communicate professionally which Reid Raines maybe need some top up training on. I have since paid the £25 same day bank transfer as I felt it money well spent not having to communicate with this estate agents again.Although I understand sometimes people may not be having the best day - my experience with Reid Raines is unprofessional and I seemed like I was bothering them by calling and speaking politely. They offer beautiful properties with a unprofessional service which his a shame but hopefully they can improve. 2/10

GoogleI cannot recommend Naoimh highly enough. I find her to be most personable, caring and friendly yet completely efficient, knowledgeable, experienced and reassuring. Any difficulties encountered with my first letting experience, as a landlord, swiftly became her problem and were quickly sorted, while keeping me up to date at every stage. I look forward to her continued support and guidance.PositiveProfessionalism
Thanks for your feedback Jenny, Naoimh will also appreciate you taking the time to leave this. Thanks again for the business! Team RR.

GoogleHi We recently rented a two bed apartment in city center and must say Naoimh in Reeds Rains was exemplary and outstanding in the way services were offered and every bit of care taken to resolve issues for the tenants. If someone one had not tried Reeds Rains, sure you must have a go as there are very few handful of estate agents in Belfast who are as prompt and as good as Reeds.

TrustpilotWhy do we still need Estate Agents in 2024?
Apparently this estate agent can only sell houses during THIER opening times. How ridiculous. All they need to do is contact the seller to ask if they are happy to undertake a viewing after work, around 5-6pm. If the seller is not happy with that, fine, I'll respect their wishes and find another property. My wife and I are registered with them and we've already viewed another property where the vendor showed us round. Don't the majority of people who want to buy a house work for a living? I thought estate agents had modernised their practices but Reeds Rains still seem stuck in the 80s.
Hi Zahid,Sorry for your review - we would like to investigate your issue further. You will receive a request for more information from Trustpilot. Regards,Reeds Rains

TrustpilotWhen the going got tough, the manager went AWOL
This is in reference to the Rye Branch.All started well with my intended property purchase, but I was to learn I made a big mistake in using their recommended company of conveyancing solicitors.When the latter proved to be simply appalling, the branch manager decided to go AWOL. No attempt was made to retrieve the situation or to contact me.That was the end of the potential sale. So very disappointing.
